Важливим завданням підготовки висококваліфікованих фахівців визначено отримання повної та об’єктивної інформації про стан навчання. У зв’язку з цим актуалізовано проблему моніторингу в освітній галузі, зокрема – моніторингу якості професійної підготовки випускників професійних (професійно-технічних) навчальних закладів. Акцентовано, що для забезпечення якості професійної (професійно-технічної) освіти в сучасних умовах важливо розробити систему внутрішнього оцінювання якості освіти в професійних (професійно-технічних) навчальних закладах, яке має спрямовуватися на оцінювання якості освіти за показниками кінцевого результату діяльності навчальних закладів, а саме: професійної підготовки майбутніх кваліфікованих робітників. Оцінювання професійної підготовки випускників професійних (професійно-технічних) навчальних закладів пропоновано здійснювати через моніторинг п’яти її складових (інтелектуальної, діяльнісної, комунікативної, рефлексивної, професійно важливих якостей). Обробку моніторингових даних пропоновано проводити на основі кваліметричного підходу з використанням факторно-критеріальних моделей. Перспективу подальших досліджень спрямовано на визначення організаційно-педагогічних умов проведення моніторингу якості освіти у професійних (професійно-технічних) навчальних закладах.

Ukraine’s European integration requires attention to the quality of education in general, and, in particular, to the quality of training of qualified workers in vocational (vocational technical) educational institutions. Today, with the active introduction of information technologies in all sectors of the economy and the rapid growth of scientific and technological progress, the issue of providing qualified educational services is becoming increasingly crucial and plays an important role in the strategic policy of our country. In 2–4 years, professional knowledge will become obsolete and this fact requires modernization of educational standards, focusing on the professions of broad qualifications and training a competent specialist who has such qualities as sociability, ability to adapt to today’s needs, to make creative decisions, to teamwork and to take on self-responsibility. Monitoring of the teachers’ educational activities and students’ academic achievements is one of the stages of improving the quality of education. Among the list of strategic directions of education development, in accordance with the National Strategy for Education Development in Ukraine for 2012 – 2021, there is an issue of ensuring national monitoring of the education system [7, p. 3]. The information about the real state of the educational process could be 99 ISSN (оnline) 2616-6747, ISSN (print) 2519-8254. Ukrainian professional education. 2019. № 6 received due to the education monitoring system and the conclusions about the quality of education in general could be made. More and more attention is paid to the training of a competitive worker in our country, which directly depends on the quality of educational services. The problem of providing a highquality education is acute in vocational (technical) educational institutions today, and the use of modern methods of monitoring the quality of education is one of the components of solving this problem. The monitoring the teachers’ educational activities or students’ educational achievements can be considered here. Formulation of the problem. The quality of vocational education in Ukraine does not fully meet today’s requirements. This issue can be addressed when gaps in the provision of vocational training services are well known. The monitoring research can influence the objective and reliable picture of the real state of the quality of education in vocational (technical) educational institutions possible. Analysis of publications on the selected issue shows that monitoring the quality of education has been studied in several areas, including: the formation of the concept was determined by V. Bespalko and I. Havrylenko, monitoring technologies were developed by A. Yermola and I. Bulakh; monitoring as a means of assessing the quality of education is studied by V. Kalnei and N. Mykhailova; A. Halahan, A. Saveliev, V. Kachermanian, L. Semushyna analyzed in their works the increase of efficiency of professional education development; O. Maiorov, N. Selezniova, L. Semushyna, and R. Shyshov described the theory and methodology of monitoring in their research.; A. Bahirov, Yu. Branovskyi, T. Vorontsova, L. Kalinina and many others considered the use of information and communication technologies in monitoring the quality of education. But the issue of monitoring the quality of professional competencies of graduates of vocational (technical) educational institutions is still not thoroughly studied and needs further research. The purpose and objectives of this article is to determine the mechanisms for monitoring the quality of education in vocational (technical vocational) educational institutions and to prove the need for monitoring as a component of training future qualified workers. Presenting main information scope. The term “monitoring” does not have a single interpretation, in the general sense it is the observation of any object or phenomenon. Scientists interpret monitoring of the quality of education in general as a system of systematic control, collection and processing of information to assess the quality of the educational system, to identify shortcomings, to make appropriate management decisions in order to create optimal conditions for providing quality educational services. For example, T.A. Stefanovska gives the following definition: “Diagnosis, assessment and forecasting of the pedagogical process: tracking its progress, results, prospects” [9, p. 18]. S.Ye. Shyshov treats monitoring in education as “a set of continuous control actions that allow you to observe and adjust the need to move the student from ignorance to knowledge” [10, p.135]. О.М. Maiorov defines that “Monitoring in education is a system of collecting, processing, storing and disseminating information about the educational system or its individual elements, which is focused on information management, allows to draw conclusions about the state of the ob (...truncated)
