Integral Assessment of Educational, Scientific and Innovative Activities and Research of Their Impact on the Economic Development of Ukraine
Abstract
The article is aimed at carrying out an integral assessment of educational, scientific and innovative activities in Ukraine and researching their influence on the economic development of the country in dynamics. Research methods are: logical, statistical, correlation, graphical analysis, matrix method, T. Saati’s method of analyzing hierarchies, comparison. The article proposes a methodical approach to the integral assessment of educational, scientific and innovative activities, which includes: standardization of indicators, determination of weight coefficients of each of the indicators, and calculation of integral indicators according to individual elements of the chain «training of bachelors – training of masters – training of scientific personnel – scientific potential – scientific results – innovative activity – economic development», as well as calculation of the degree of their mutual impact. The integral indicators that characterize educational, scientific and innovative activities are calculated; the impact of training is assessed as follows: bachelors on the preparation of masters; masters on the training of scientific personnel; scientific personnel – on scientific potential; scientific potential – on scientific results; scientific results – on innovative activity; innovative activity – on the economic state of the country. The dynamics of changes in the provision of these activities is examined. The calculations made it possible to determine tendencies in the development of education and science in Ukraine and the main problems to cause them. One of the significant problems is the inconsistency of the chain between educational, scientific and innovative activities and the real sector of the economy, which has led to a decrease in the scientific and scientific-technical potential of Ukraine, low scientific results and low rates of innovative development. It is defined that further inappropriate attention to these problems on the part of the authorities can lead to the complete destruction of both educational, scientific and innovative activities in the country. All this accounts for the need to develop a clear vision of the directions of development of the domestic educational and scientific spheres, which will take into account both the real opportunities of the domestic economy and global development trends along with global challenges.
