Mokslinė problema ir tyrimo aktualumas Lietuvos aukštosioms mokykloms siekiant integruotis į Europos švietimo erdvę, pati svarbiausia problema išlieka studijų kokybės užtikrinimas. Studijų programų rengimo ir kokybės vertinimo problemos užsienyje gana seniai nagrinėjamos (Losak, John. Burns, Neil; Windle, Ochberg), tačiau Lietuvoje šie tyrimai mažiau išplėtoti. Iki šiol problema analizuota gana epizodiškai, atskirus kriterijus lyginant su universitetinėmis studijomis (E. Stumbrys, 2006). Studijų programų kokybės sampratos ir vertinimo problemas (universitetiniu lygmeniu) susijusias su studijų programų raida ir vystymusi, tyrė K. Pukelis (2004), N. Pilevičienė (2004), I. Savickienė (2004). Daugelis universitetų studijų kokybę vertina pagal dėstytojų ar kitų universiteto darbuotojų požiūrį. Pastarųjų vertinimas iš dalies yra objektyvus - jie dalyvauja studijų procese ilgesnį laiką nei studentai, aiškiau vertina esamą padėtį. Bet reikėtų į problemą pažvelgti kitu aspektu. Vartotojų, šiuo atveju, studentų nuomonė yra svarbi ne tik ateityje tobulinant studijų programos kokybę, bet ir siekiant kelti aukštosios mokyklos autoritetą. Tyrimo objektas: Socialinės pedagogikos neakivaizdinių studijų programos kokybės vertinimas. Tyrimo hipotezės: Tikėtina, kad dauguma socialinės pedagogikos neakivaizdinių studijų programos absolventų pozityviai vertina pasirinktos studijų programos kokybę. Tikėtina, kad socialinės pedagogikos neakivaizdinių studijų programos kokybė įtakojo sėkmingą...
