Digital transformation of higher education: a service for assessing the
pedagogical qualifications of a university teacher
Abstract: In the context of the digital transformation of university student training, the level of professional
qualifications of the teaching staff (teaching staff) of the university must simultaneously correspond to both the level
of development of technology and technology, as well as modern methodology, theory, and practice of the development
of informatization of education, which will provide the sphere of professional education with scientific, methodological,
and software and technological developments, both analog and digital forms of implementation. In these conditions, it
becomes a problem to assess the level of professional qualifications of teaching staff due to the lack of an effective tool for
its assessment. The article solves a specific problem that makes it possible to obtain a comprehensive, reliable assessment
of the pedagogical qualifications of a modern university teacher, including simultaneous assessment of both the results
of the teacher’s implementation of the educational process, expressed in the characteristics of the psychological and
pedagogical effectiveness of training sessions, assessed by students through indicators of their activities (characteristics of the effectiveness of training sessions), and the results of information and methodological preparedness of the educational
process (readiness indicators), assessed by experts. The developed algorithm, which allows obtaining a comprehensive
assessment, can serve as the basis for creating a service for assessing the pedagogical qualifications of a university teacher
in the context of the digital transformation of university training.
Keywords: digital transformation of higher education, pedagogical qualification, educational process, educational
process efficiency index, students’ self-assessment, teacher training quality index.
