Information System for Monitoring and Management of the Quality of Educational Programs: Development of Functioning Algorithms.

The study develops a method for monitoring and management of the quality of educational programs using software instruments. The method describes each of the monitoring implementation stages in detail specifying the input and output data, as well as the controls that affect the time and quality of the implementation of the corresponding stage. Algorithm programs in the form of flowcharts reflecting all the content aspects are developed and formalized for the automatization of monitoring. The presented algorithm models allow implementing the program complex of the system for monitoring and management of the quality of educational programs using the modern object-oriented design and programming environments. The goal of the study is to develop a model of algorithms for the organization of monitoring and managing the quality of educational programs, which allow reducing the time costs of these processes while increasing the objectivity of quality assessment. The obtained results are intended for the audit of educational services, public control over the implementation of educational activities, accreditation of directions of training, or licensing of educational organizations. The developed algorithms provide for evaluating the content of each stage of the audit of an educational program, generate a list of notes ranked by importance, and ensure the rational allocation of resources for the implementation of each stage of the educational process.
