COGNITIVE COMPONENT MATURITY
OF DIRECTORS’ RISK MANAGEMENT SKILLS

The paper aims to present the results of the experiment focused at examining the cognitive component maturity of directors’ risk management skills. In order to assess directors cognitive risk management skills according to “knowledge awareness/non-awareness” a testing form “Core of Risk Management at Educational Institutions”, a minicase “Risk Management Procedure and Tools” were applied. The cognitive component of risk management skills provides the system of knowledge which should be mastered by directors and should act like a base for the formation of necessary skills for risk management at educational institutions. It can be determined by the following indices: knowledge of conceptual regulations of risk management at educational institutions, processes of management of risks at educational institutions, mastering methods of risks processing, ways of preventing and overcoming risks at educational institutions, logical and adapting thinking skills. The results of qualitative and quantitative indices of the assessment of performed testing tasks show insufficient knowledge of directors of theory and methods of risk management at educational institutions, which conditions the need for paying special attention to this fact as it is knowledge which is the core of directors’ risk management skills in terms of educational institutions.
