Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of «monitoring the quality of education» in the context of modern scientific discourse, aiming to clarify its essence, content, and rationale for application in pedagogical science and practice. The study is driven by Ukraine’s aspiration for European integration and the recognition of quality education as a crucial factor in the socio-economic development of the state, which underscores the need for effective mechanisms to assess and enhance the educational system. The purpose of the article is to systematize approaches to defining monitoring the quality of education and to develop an original interpretation of this concept. The research methods employed enabled an assessment of the current state of the studied issue, a comparison of scientific concepts, and the formation of a holistic understanding of the essence of the monitoring the quality of education phenomenon. The analysis of scholarly works has demonstrated that monitoring encompasses the collection, processing, and analysis of data on the state of education, forecasting its development, and the formulation of managerial decisions. The objects of monitoring include educational systems at various levels, learning outcomes, characteristics of process participants, resources, and organizational aspects. It has been established that monitoring serves as a system for evaluating the compliance of education with standards and stakeholders’ needs.
The research findings reveal the multifaceted nature of approaches to monitoring the quality of education, which have been systematized into the following categories: informational-statistical, prognostic-productive, managerial, systemic, and technological. The primary outcome of the study is the author’s definition of monitoring the quality of education as a systematic, comprehensive, and continuous process of observation, data collection, analysis, and interpretation regarding the state of the educational system and the identification of trends in education quality development at the national, regional, and institutional levels. This process is aimed at evaluating the compliance of educational services and outcomes with legislative requirements, established standards, and the needs of stakeholders and society. The conclusions emphasize the integrative role of monitoring as both a diagnostic tool and a means of strategically improving the education system in the context of Ukraine’s European integration.
