PROCEDURE FOR EXPERT EVALUATION OF THE SYSTEM OF DESIGNING CONSULTING ACTIVITIES IN A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION UNDER CONDITIONS OF UNCERTAINTY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the procedure for peer review of the consulting activity design system in a higher education institution under conditions of uncertainty. The article analyzes the practical basis for conducting an expert evaluation of the consulting activity design system. Accordingly, the essence of the expert evaluation method is that it is a procedure for obtaining an assessment of a problem based on the opinion of experts in order to make a decision. This method is used to obtain quantitative estimates of qualitative characteristics and properties. The subjects of the method are: groups of researchers, each of whom responds individually in writing; an organizational group that summarizes the opinions of experts. The cross-cutting principle of the method is the independent assessment of experts who do not know each other. The article presents the results of calculating the professional competence of experts and the indicators obtained. In the course of analyzing the expert evaluation, we used certain methods in the work of the working and expert groups, namely: the scenario method, the brainstorming method, questionnaires, the commission method, and the Delphi method. Implementing the successful implementation of the process of evaluating the fundamental system of designing consulting activities in a higher education institution under conditions of uncertainty, we additionally used other methods of involving experts, namely: the method of focus groups, SWOT analysis and the method of user-level evaluation, which is implemented by questionnaires and case management by trained specialists. To ensure the processing of the data obtained, we used the technology of the qualimetric approach and index evaluation. In the course of the study, we have selected and considered a step-by-step organization of examination, an algorithm for engaging experts and calculating the quality of their judgments, which will facilitate obtaining objective information. The article identifies prospects for further research, which consist in the practical application of the results of the expert evaluation of the system of designing consulting activities in a higher education institution under conditions of uncertainty.
