Assessment of the quality of curricula and educational technologies in vocational education in Ukraine in accordance with modern labor market requirements

Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the quality of curricula and educational technologies in vocational education in Ukraine, with a particular emphasis on aligning them with the demands of the current labor market. The aim of the study is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of these curricula and provide recommendations for their improvement to increase the competitiveness of students in the labor market. The principal research methods utilized in this study were an analysis of the regulatory framework and content analysis of scientific publications. The results of the study show that the modern labor market significantly affects both the content of educational programs and the criteria for assessing the quality of educational technologies. The relevance of curricula to labor market needs is increasingly becoming a key criterion for the effectiveness of education. Additionally, international quality assessment approaches are being widely adopted. Consequently, the effectiveness of quality assessment in curricula and educational technologies is grounded in a combination of labor market analysis and international best practices in education quality evaluation.
