Model for monitoring the professional activity efficiency of a higher education teacher

Abstract

The paper considers and substantiates the original model for monitoring the professional activity efficiency of a higher education teacher. The author's interpretation of this type of monitoring, the description of the methodology for conducting the research and the presentation of its results are proposed. The monitoring model was developed on the basis of a critical analysis of the practice of assessing the efficiency of teachers' activities in universities, which allowed some contradictions and shortcomings to identify in the implementation of this procedure. In contrast to the existing technologies for conducting assessment activities on the part of the subjects - the organizers and participants of monitoring, the author's model includes such important components as the goal and objectives, the object and subject matter, the principles and algorithms of monitoring implementation. The principles on the basis of which the efficiency of a teacher's professional activity should be monitored are openness, objectivity, continuity and cyclicality; science; diagnostic and prognostic orientation, sufficient completeness, relevance. The developed model assumes the algorithms for the implementation of the monitoring process that correspond to the tasks from the selection of monitoring methods and the development of local regulatory legal acts of monitoring to the planning of actions aimed at improving the efficiency of the professional activities of teachers
