Abstract

The article studies translation and interpretation of the "rating", "rank", "ranking" terms in different both Soviet and modern dictionaries. It generalises definitions of these terms by scientists with consideration of their interpretation in the educational context. It reveals differences and ambiguity in application of terminology in scientific sources devoted to the study of problems of the process of ranking of objects of different spheres, in particular, colleges. It provides understanding of "ranking" and "tables of leagues" notions by the International Ranking Expert Group (IREG). On the basis of generalisation of translations and interpretations of basic notions of the process of ranking by different dictionary and scientific sources, the article improves terminological mechanism of the process of ranking of colleges. It offers and reveals essence of key definitions of the process of ranking with consideration of the process itself, result and form of presentation of the result, namely: "ranking of educational objects", "tables of leagues". "rating of educational objects by popularity" and "rating of educational objects by results of activity".
