Abstract

As a result of reviewing the scientific literature, studying the legal framework, analysis of socio-economic conditions, modern practice of higher education institutions management, a contradiction was found between the high requirements for free economic management and the lack of criteria for evaluating its effectiveness on the basis of innovative technologies. This contradiction can be resolved by developing appropriate models and methods for evaluating the work effectiveness of higher education institutions. In this case, the method should be based on the results of the basic structural unit of the institution of higher education, meaning the department. The purpose of the work is to increase the informativeness of assessing the effectiveness for departments of higher education institutions by determining comprehensive performance indicators through the methodology of public funding distribution. The methodology is based on the principles of financing higher education institutions introduced by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. In order to create a methodology for assessing the quality of a higher education institution functioning, a set of criteria for assessing the education quality in higher education institution, the quality of scientific and international activities and financial activities were considered. The developed methodology allows to determining complex performance indicators through the method of public funding distribution, which operates with the following data: indicator of the estimated contingent of higher education; indicators of average competitive scores of entrants to study at the bachelor's and master's levels of education; an indicator of the scale of a higher education institution activity; indicators of personnel of scientific and pedagogical workers; indicator of a money amount from scientific works; students-winners indicators of a student scientific works competitions and Olympiads; an indicator of the publications number and citations according to the scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science, meaning the international recognition for employees of higher education institutions. The formed methodology can be used by the administration of a higher education institution to calculate possible funding for the next year, determine the amount of funding for its departments, and so on.
