Teaching staff of the university: positions

Teaching staff is the hallmark of any higher educational institution. In order to introduce innovative technologies in the university, teachers should have not only a high intellectual level, but also a desire to develop and improve their practical skills and abilities. That is why the Ministry of Education decided to modernize the Russian higher school.

Time requirements

The teaching staff of the university must develop educational and methodological materials, taking into account modern realities. The manuals, textbooks, tests, various methodological materials on which they will lecture students, conduct practical classes, are approved by the rector of a higher educational institution. Teaching staff should have their own publications in scientific journals and newspapers. The material can be the results of scientific research, conducted diagnostics, analytical experiments.

Composition of the department

In the structure of the teaching staff of any classical department in the university there is necessarily a head (direct head of the department), as well as his deputies for scientific and educational work. In addition, a certain faculty is assumed, and also the head of the teaching and methodical cabinet is appointed. The department should ensure the teaching of those scientific disciplines that are considered profile for it. Training should be organized in full-time, part-time, and part-time, full-time and short-curriculum programs that fully correspond to the basic educational levels of specialties in the framework of the new federal educational standards created for higher education.

Features of modern teaching

In connection with the development and implementation of the federal educational standards in the higher school, the structure of the educational process has changed significantly. If formerly the faculty acted as the main lecturer leading during the lessons a monologue, then under new requirements training should be based on a dialogue between the student and the teacher.

Tutor training

The teaching staff now plays in the higher school in the role of tutors, who accompany students developing on individual educational technologies. Particular attention is currently given to design and research work with students. In addition to conducting lectures, professors also conduct laboratory workshops, identifying talented and gifted students with whom they conduct individual work.

Modern technologies used in the national higher school, put before the staff of the faculty new tasks, in addition, they make them additional requirements.

For example, professors conduct distance classes, give lectures to those students who, for various reasons, can not attend regular day classes. Operative individual communication of students and teachers with the use of innovative computer technologies is the basis for successful training within the framework of DOT.

Methodology for determining the effectiveness of the institution

The faculty of the university undergoes special qualification tests, the results of which confirm the high level of professionalism of each teacher. In addition, at present there is a special methodology developed within the framework of the new standards for checking the level of knowledge of graduates of higher education. It is these results that are considered reliable and adequately reflecting the quality of training, the level of professionalism of the teaching staff. In educational institutions there is a time that is devoted to the study of certain disciplines. Regardless of which pedagogical technology the professor or the candidate of sciences uses in his work , this indicator is used to calculate the main load of teachers.

Options for posts

What is the faculty? Positions ranked in the PPP, in each institution of higher education are determined by the Charter and internal regulations. But in any case professors of profile or related sciences, candidates, associate professors teach at every department in a prestigious university.

The percentage ratio depends on the prestige of the institution, its material base. Substitution of faculty is carried out only by order of the rector of the educational institution, if there are good reasons for this. The number of teachers is determined by the number of groups, hours allocated for the study of the academic discipline.

Innovations in Higher Education

After the introduction of distance technologies in high school, problems arose associated with the staffing of the teaching staff. Serious influence on students in higher education is rendered by the professionalism and competence of the teaching professors. When assessing the effectiveness of teaching activities, it is possible to ensure a full-fledged work of the system of monitoring and managing the quality of education, monitor personnel potential, analyze the effectiveness of load sharing, and determine and develop new pedagogical methods in the work of teaching staff.

New trends in higher education

In order to modernize Russian higher education, it is effective to introduce new federal educational standards at this stage, the position in the faculty was analyzed, the requirements to be presented to the employees of higher education institutions are defined.

The quality of training masters, bachelors, specialists influences the state of the country's economy, therefore a new system of labor remuneration was introduced in higher education . Currently, spatial formulations are used, characterizing the level of professionalism of the teacher of higher education.

Among the most important tasks set for the rectors of higher education institutions by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, we note the requirement to make managerial decisions concerning personnel, financial and organizational policies.

Monitoring of the teaching staff

At the moment, an automated rating system is being developed that will analyze the level of the faculty. Some universities already use its elements, which allow the rector to conduct personnel and financial policies. What should be taken into account when determining the professionalism of professors and candidates of science, lecturing future masters and bachelors?

Among the set of parameters, we first of all note:

• Academic title (scientific degree);
• Membership in various academic academies;
• Industry awards;
• Premium;
• Presence in the academic council of the faculty, dissertation committee;
• Membership in foreign societies, editorial boards of profile journals.

Indicators for determining the quality of the teacher's work are determined by the results of examination sessions, the results of industrial student practices, the protection of coursework, the number of publications of students, on methodical work.

Taking into account a large number of criteria, multi-level, different significance of indicators, in each separate higher educational institution of the Russian Federation, its own positions are formed, according to which the effectiveness and effectiveness of the teaching staff are determined.

Conclusion

In connection with the transition to new standards, serious reforms are taking place in Russian higher education. They concern not only the transfer of students to two options for study: bachelor's and master's degrees. Significant changes are observed in the teaching staff. The introduction of a professional standard will lead to the inevitable renewal (rejuvenation) of teachers of higher educational institutions. At the moment, about 75 percent of professors teach in Russian universities, whose age exceeds 60 years. Undoubtedly, transformations are needed, but at each department traditions are kept carefully and try to use the maximum creative potential of high quality specialists who possess the "old hardening".
