Abstract
The article discusses the experience of higher education institution management from the perspective of improving the quality of the educational process through the formation of an integrated assessment system of learning outcomes. Being a case study, the article reveals the stages of designing the system on the example of master's program with major "Computer Science and Engineering", implemented at Petrozavodsk State University. The aim of the article is to describe the stages of designing a flexible system of educational process quality conÂtrol in particular of the learning outcomes assessment system that meets the basic requirements of the Federal State EducaÂtion Standard (FSES). The methodological basis of this work is the set of standards of a worldwide CDIO initiative. Despite the standards' commitment to the reform of engineering eduÂcation, it is shown that their criteria do not contradict the new generation requirements of the FSES for all majors and allow forbuilding a complete system of learning outcomes assessment based on self-evaluation of university educational programs by main stakeholders: students, teachers, employers, graduates. The process of designing the system of learning outcomes assessment inevitably raises some issues related to the lack of methodological recommendations and practical experience of the majority of teachers, complexity of the process and everyÂone's high responsibility for the result. There were some probÂlems with assessment tools of learning outcomes on the compeÂtence approach in the implementation of educational programs (EP), with the assessment of learning outcomes during the naÂtional accreditation and mechanisms of consideration of pubÂlic and professional-public educational programs evaluation. According to the authors, it is necessary to develop recomÂmendations for the compilation of local regulations for assessÂing the quality of educational programs in terms of common approaches to the definition of the stages of formation, proceÂdures, indexes, forms and methods, the scale of evaluation of assessment tools complex. The article formulates practical recommendations on the description of the stages of designing the educational programs evaluation system: definition of evaluation objectives, evaluÂation criteria (indicators); presentation form of the results of achieving the objectives for the program as a whole, as well as for each of the disciplines of the curriculum; the choice of efÂfective methods of learning evaluation, corresponding to difÂferent categories of educational outcomes. The article's practical results are shown on the example of learning outcomes assessment of educational program "ComÂputer Science and Engineering" (Master). The value of this paper is a detailed description of experiÂence in the development and implementation of the learning outcomes assessment system, as well as of experience in manÂaging such a system. The authors pay attention to the imporÂtance of the annual self-evaluation of the university for the conÂtinuous improvement of the educational process
