Components of Education Quality Monitoring: Problems and Prospects

4.
Conclusion 
The article presents analysis of using monitoring techniques in the assessment of the higher education quality. On 
the basis of the analytical review of Russian and international sources current views on the issue of organizing 
effective monitoring in the system of professional education have been systematized and summarized. During the 
sociological survey, problems arising in organizing and conducting education quality monitoring from the viewpoint 
of HE institution students and teachers have been revealed. 
Educational activities have a specific character as a process of rendering services during which the student 
transforms not only his/her knowledge, skills and competencies but his/her personality development as well. The 
eventual outcome has a long-term influence not only on a particular individual but also on his/her social 
environment and country on the whole. In this connection, the possibility to make adequate and timely corrections in 
conformity with the dynamic condition of the environment is very important. Monitoring techniques, if used 
effectively, are able to realize this possibility; however, in order to form the Russian system of education quality 
assessment, it is necessary to take into consideration the existing international and national experience in this issue, 
as well as to continue the research
