THE QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM OF PROFESSIONAL PRELIMINARY EDUCATION: THE POLL OF STUDENTS

The issue of the quality of educational services provided by professional preliminary education always remains relevant. In particular, they need to study the problem of assessing the quality of education not only by higher governing bodies, but also by direct participants in the educational process. This is especially important to-day in connection with the introduction of new require-ments for the accreditation of educational programs in the field of professional preliminary education, which pro-vides training for professional junior bachelors. In order to implement a student-centered learning system, an im-portant task of the College's management is to provide stu-dents with the opportunity to express their opinions, sug-gestions or complaints. In addition, itis important to study the use of information and communication technologies in the process of assessing the quality of education, as they allow faster and more efficient organization of this pro-cess, involving much less material and human resources.The purposeof the research:to describe the ex-perience of organizing and conducting the poll in the pro-fessional medical college of IFNMU on the quality of ed-ucational services.Research results and their discussion.To im-prove the educational and professionalprograms at the College, we use data from stakeholder polls, the introduc-tion of a student-centered system of education, the promo-tion and observance of academic integrity, control and im-provement of teaching quality. The purpose of the poll is to identify their satisfaction with learning, educational pro-grams, their components and the quality of educational services, as well as transparency and objectivity of stu-dents' applications, the level of information support that fully corresponds to the student-centered system of educa-tion at the College.In order to implement a student-centered learning system, we provided an opportunity for students to express their proposals for changes in curricula, improvement of educational and professional programs through surveys. During 2021, the College conducted a series of polls using Google Forms among participants in the educational pro-cess, stakeholders. In particular, we conducted a survey among college students. 211 students of different courses and departments tookpart. Among the many questions we also asked a number of questions related to the organiza-tion of the educational process.As a result of the polls, we received data that will allow us to improve the quality of education, draw atten-tion to shortcomings, make proposals to the cycle commis-sions and the Pedagogical Council to improve educational and professional programs and training programs. An im-portant point in determining the degree of satisfaction with the quality of teaching is a systematic approach, rather than a one-time questionnaire. This allows for comparative an-alytical work, obtaining more objective information that can be used as an evaluation, and can serve as an "impetus" to improve the efficiency of the College.Conclusions. Receiving periodic feedback from students is a mandatory component of internal quality as-surance of educational programs. The college should or-ganize periodic student polls, the results of which should have a real impact on the content of teaching and learning. The lack ofsurveys of direct participants in the educational process or a purely formal approach to their conduct is a disadvantage.
