THE SCIENTIFIC POTENTIAL OF HIGHER SCHOOL IN RUSSIA: PROSPECTIVE EVALUATION INDICATORS

The article reveals the actual problem of the methodology for assessing the scientific potential of Russian universities. At the beginning of the article, the author emphasizes the significance of the assessment methodology as an integral part of the concept of public policy of the Russian Federation in the area of managing the scientific potential of higher education. As a methodological and methodical base of research the author uses a set of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, a method of analogies, etc.), and also actively relies on the results of sociological and expert surveys. Special attention should be given to the author’s in-depth analysis of the factors of formation and development of the scientific potential of universities and indicators of the effectiveness of its implementation. As the main results of the study, the author identifies: first, the methodological principles formulated in the article for assessing the scientific potential of higher education; second, a system of indicators for such assessment at different stages of the life cycle of the scientific potential of higher education; third, a fundamental approach to the approbation of the proposed methodology. As perspective directions of research in this area, attention should be paid to the problems of interaction of the state with the university community, various interest groups and experts in the process of forming the agenda of policy in the development of the scientific potential of higher education. The results we obtained can be used in the development of a new concept of the corresponding direction of public policy.
