In the modern highly competitive environment the implementation of innovative teaching and assessment methods has become one of the key competitive advantages of the educational institutions. This fact necessitates a research on the compatibility of web-based and conventional assessment methods and forms. The paper summarizes the results of a research which aimed to investigate the degree of compatibility of the conventional (“paper-based”) and web-based (“digital”) didactic tests and to formulate recommendations for the practical implementation of the innovative testing formats.

  DESIGNING AND BUILDING A SYSTEM FOR MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING OF STUDENT’S QUALIFICATION PROFILE (QUABAR-S)

Among the priority management goals of any higher education institution are to obtain higher professional qualification and to enhance the possibilities for students’ professional realization. The discussions about the adequacy of the training which the graduates of economic higher education institutions receive are multilayer and they are characterized by inherent contradictions in interests. One of the major reasons for these contradictions is founded on the lack of adequate and timely measures for “successful” student qualification profile. This causes a “fuzzy” perspective for a good professional realization. The focus of the study is in the institutional research area. It describes the process of designing, developing and deploying a methodology for measurement and monitoring of student’ qualification profile.

  THE STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL – EUROPEAN ALTERNATIVE OF QUALITY

The implementation of the statistical methods for quality control of the technological processes is an important approach that ensures a substantial increase in the quality of the production. The statistical methods for quality control are wide spread practice in the developed countries. On the contrary they are almost not implemented in the Bulgarian economy and as a result achieving high quality by the European standards is only a good intention. The survey performed in about 300 enterprises from the machinery construction industry in Bulgaria have shown that the statistical methods are unknown to the workers in that branch of industry and that they have not been implementing such methods in the practice despite their obvious advantages. Thus it is necessary for the Ministry of Economy and Energy to undertake practical steps on the implementation of statistical methods for quality control in the machinery construction enterprises by developing a “Strategy” in which to define the priorities of the Government, the measures and the financial resources that will ensure the training of specialists and the implementation of modern systems for quality management.
