CHARACTERISTICS OF FUTURE EDUCATION MANAGERS’ READINESS FOR RISK MANAGEMENT AT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS


SUMMARY:

The article is focused on the structure of future education managers’ readiness for risk management at educational institutions; the review of its diagnostics is represented, and its levels are characterized. It has been revealed that future education managers’ readiness for risk management at educational institutions consists of psychological, cognitive, and organizational and functional components. There have been determined the following indicators of the psychological component: future education managers’ awareness of the importance of risk management at educational institutions, motivational orientation at risk management, future education managers’ propensity to risk, orientation at changes, tolerance to uncertainty, assertiveness. The cognitive component was evaluated according to the following indicators: knowledge of conceptual statements of risk management at educational institutions, the command of methods of risk handling at educational institutions according to the processes of risk management, knowing the ways of preventing and overcoming risks at educational institutions; the capacity for intellectual logical structuring and adaptive thinking. There were the following indicators of the organizational and functional component: the ability to apply methods of risk identification and to classify the discovered risks at the educational institution; the ability to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of risks; the ability to determine the most critical risks; the ability to plan a response to risk; the ability to perform the monitoring of risk assessment and to prepare propositions and recommendations according to the results of the monitoring. The following criteria for the evaluation of future education managers’ readiness for risk management at educational institutions have been offered: activatedness, awareness/unawareness of knowledge, flexibility/rigidity of abilities; its levels have been characterized (sufficient, intermediate, low). It has been proven mathematically that the difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of the maturity of future education managers’ readiness for risk management at educational institutions is not statistically significant as long as at the beginning of the formative experiment, the above mentioned groups did not differ significantly from each other according to the level of readiness for risk management. A number of diagnostic activities have made it possible to discover the insufficient level of the maturity of future education managers’ readiness for risk management at education institutions; the results obtained have shown low levels of the maturity of the investigated abilities and skills, which demonstrates the necessity for paying more attention to their further formation.
