GLOBAL TRENDS IN THE ASSESSMENT OF SCIENTIFIC, INNOVATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract. New approaches and principles of forming a system of indicators for the analysis and assessment of scientific, innovative and educational activities are analyzed in the article. There is still no standardized system of indicators of evaluating the scientific and innovative activity of higher education institutions, so countries develop such indicators based on national specificities and the level of economic development. Approaches and methods of assessing the quality of education are changing in the world’s leading countries, taking into account its scientific and innovative component. A comprehensive system approach based on multi-aspect expert research with the involvement of a small number of scientometric indicators is spreading. Preference is given to criteria of economic, social, and cultural significance of scientific research. Forming and updating of the system of criteria and indicators are significantly influenced by new trends in the development of higher education institutions under the conditions of the economy of knowledge and innovation: the growing importance of the functions of forming intellectual capital; increasing the role of educational science; forming of innovation-oriented functions of highereducation institutions: generating of innovative ideas; knowledge and technology transfer, entrepreneurial function, etc. The evaluation indicators of higher education institutions in international rankings reflect important changes in the development of the modern university most effectively. Based on the analysis of indicators of well-known international ratings and the methodology of their forming, groups of modern criteria and indicators have been selected for possible use in the domestic practice of evaluating the scientific, innovative and educational activities of higher education institutions.

Keywords: scientific and innovative activity, trends in evaluation of higher education institutions, criteria and indicators, international ratings, principles of formation of the system of indicators.
