Methodology for express assessment of human resource potential in the regional system of secondary general education

Abstract

This article presents a methodology for the quick assessment of human resources potential within the regional system of secondary general education. Its relevance is dictated by the extreme importance of human resources for improving the quality of education in the region, the need for well-founded managerial decisions to enhance the effectiveness of teaching, and the demand by regional education management bodies for tools to evaluate and develop human resources. The tasks, solved with the help of the proposed methodology, include identification (using statistical and econometric methods) significant general, professional, and motivational characteristics of teachers that affect the results of their students’ Unified State Exams (USE); determining profiles of successful and unsuccessful teachers and their location in regional schools; projecting the expected USE results for a new teacher’s class based on their characteristics; setting targeted goals for the development of human resource potential in the region, and targeted interventions in the problematic areas of the regional education system. Thus, this methodology holds high practical significance for the improvement of the regional general secondary education system.
