Kokovikhin A.Yu.
Abstract
The relevance of this article is due to the search for methodological approaches to the identification and description of the degree of influence of institutional barriers on the disproportions existing in the system of formation and implementation of professional competencies. The purpose of this article is to develop tools for differentiation of institutional barriers among a set of factors that create imbalances between the systems of formation and implementation of professional competencies. Econometric models are used as methodological tools of the research; the information base of the study includes a set of information obtained in the course of a nationwide statistical sample survey on the employment of graduates who have received secondary vocational training and university degrees; information systems for monitoring the employment of graduates and interviews with individual participants in the formation and implementation of professional competencies. As a result of the study, a model of multiple regression was formed, which allows for a conclusion about the significance of the impact of certain types of institutional barriers on the disproportions of the system of formation and implementation of professional competencies. As the next step, this makes it possible to define the ways of reducing their negative impact. The combined assessment of the impact of institutional barriers on the existing disproportions in the system of formation and implementation of professional competences revealed the following features: (1) the greatest impact on the system of formation and implementation of professional competencies is produced by information barriers of uncontrolled demand for competence on the part of the population; (2) institutional barriers of economic policy reflected through indicators of the social burden on the system of secondary and higher education have the least impact; (3) the system of secondary vocational education is most exposed to the influence of institutional barriers in training programs for middle-level specialists; (4) institutional barriers have the least impact on higher professional education programmes in the framework of specialist and master's programmes.
Keywords
