Theoretical background of upgrading tools for IT-competence monitoring of educational institution administrators in the system of additional professional education

The absence of the actual tool for IT-competence monitoring of the educational institution administrators in the system of additional professional education necessitates the upgrade of the existing tool. The analysis of the teacher’s and administrator’s generalized labor functions, presented in the relevant professional standards, allowed to develop the structure of the educational institution administrator’s IT-competence, which includes user-specific pedagogical and administerial levels of IT-competence. On the basis of the qualification requirements stated in the draft professional standard «The Administrator of the educational organization» the basic competencies of the administerial level of IT-competence are formulated. The allocated levels of the educational institution administrator’s IT-competence allowed to formulate the structure of the corresponding monitoring tools. On the basis of this structure we plan to develop and upgrade the existing test tasks and business cases, which will form the framework of the monitoring tool.
