Abstract

The paper deals with the problems of assessing the compliance level of internal quality assurance system with the requirements of European standards and guidelines. The basis of the calculations is the self-assessment procedure based on the composite index evaluation technology. An approach to design a system of initial indicators for calculating the composite index and the procedure for their scaling are proposed. The algorithm for calculating the values of the composite index, which is oriented toward the use of weighted additive convolution, is described. At the same time, it takes into account the nature of the output indicators. The rules for establishing the correspondence between the quantitative and qualitative values of the level of internal quality assurance system are given. Evaluation can be carried out both at the institutional level and at the level of individual academic programme. The article contains examples of indicators and initial indexes that can be used in the assessing procedures for identification the level of internal quality assurance. An example of calculations for the proposed approach is presented. The results of the assessment can be used to identify weak positions in internal quality assurance system, track the dynamics of quality assurance level as a whole, and for its individual components. The research has shown that in today's conditions of development of society, human capital is the main factor of the creative economy and economic growth. In this regard, the main directions of investment in human capital were outlined, such as: health care expenditures; living expenses; ensuring affordability of housing; preservation and maintenance of ecological requirements to the habitat; costs of culture and art; expenses on optimization of labor migration; expenses for employee's motivation; education costs; the cost of science. Thus, the direction of investment in human capital will promote the formation of a creative economy, improving the competitiveness of the country and guaranteeing at the same time appropriate rates of socio-economic development.
