https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2024-1-1414
Abstract
Aim. To formulate the main issues that require consideration when developing and testing new Russian educational standards for higher education in the training program “Political Science”, and to suggest ways of their solution.
Methodology. The publication was prepared using methods of analysis of literature and documents, synthesis, generalization and interpretation of results.
Results. The author highlights the factors that determine the relevance of the discussion about reinterpretation of political science education standardization in Russia: it is pointed out that in the process of developing and testing the new educational standards in connection with the transition to studying in a new higher education system, it is necessary to take into account a number of problems that arose during the implementation of existing standards: vague division of education levels, an excessive set of general professional competencies, lack of focus on a single educational result. Formulations of this result are proposed for discussion depending on the levels and qualifications of graduates majoring in “Political Science”. The author emphasized the problems of positioning and perception of political scientists both within the professional community and on the part of representatives of the labor market. The main arguments of experts about the conceptual and paradigmatic foundations of modern Russian political science education, as well as a draft of professional standard for political scientists, were analyzed.
Research implications. The practical significance of the publication lies in the opportunity to expand the expert discussion on the standardization of Russian political science education.
