RESEARCH OF MECHANISMS FOR ENSURING THE INTERNAL QUALITY OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN RUSSIAN-CHINESE JOINT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: THE EXPERIENCE OF A JOINT ENGINEERING INSTITUTE

Abstract

The paper examines the current state of affairs in the field of creating an internal quality control system for education in the context of Sino-Russian cooperation. As an illustration, we take the example of a Joint Engineering Institute founded in 2016 by Jiangsu Normal University (JNU) and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU). The article outlines the key difficulties faced in the implementation of educational activities, including difficulties in selecting potential partners for collaboration, forming a teaching staff, building a system of training courses, providing the necessary resources and organizing the educational process. The analysis of the identified problems and the generalization of practical experience in the organization of training made it possible to identify effective ways to improve the mechanisms responsible for the quality of education in joint educational institutions. The data obtained indicate that the established control systems contribute to the successful integration of advanced scientific and educational resources of both countries, optimize the educational process and improve the level of training of specialists. The results of the study can serve as a methodological basis and practical guidance for the further development of similar Sino-Russian educational programs and institutions.
