Educational work at the University is carried out in accordance with the objectives set out by "Development Strategy NTUU" KPI "for the period 2012-2020," and aims to accelerate entry into the European educational space.
The main activities of the department of educational work in 2014 were: academic work, providing scholarship, academic mobility, social, cultural, scientific work, athletic training, the development of information space, safety on campus and others.
Educational work
Last year, our university became the home for more than 350 students from universities of Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In particular, we provide access to training more than 100 students from the Crimea. Now 90 of them are our students.
Daily Department together with the deans need to solve non-standard questions related to the lack of certain documents from students, to coordinate with the Ministry the process of their moving, together with the campus and social services solve the problem of settlement, to promote rapid adaptation to training.
Events in the country, of course, affected the educational discipline students in the spring semester of last year. Given the circumstances, there was carried out only one certification, which showed a decrease of learning results. 69% of students passed the summer session successfully, 5-6% less than in previous years. The total number of full-time students who participated in the summer session, was 17,479 people, of whom 2272 - contractors.
Student performance is almost unchanged and is as follows: the proportion “the best” is about 8% of the total number of students, the percentage of "well" - about 30%. It is increased slightly compared to last year, the proportion of students with an average level of achievement - 58%.
In view of the general situation, it was given a much larger number of individual schedules delivery of the session - 195, of which 89 - to newly arrived students from the Crimea.
A flexible approach has allowed to increase the number of learning results - the number of excluded at the end of the spring semester even slightly decreased: the total number of excluded for the spring semester totaled 817 students, 688 of them - on the results of the session.
The fall semester began with the new challenges. Since the beginning of the semester and until the beginning of the winter session we received a large number of requests to transfer students from universities in Donetsk and Lugansk regions. We have granted access to such training 304 students.
Experience with the adaptation of the Crimea student helped to work on the adaptation of these students to the educational process. It was conducted the sociological poll among the students, studied their overall performances and needs. 223 students were enrolled in the KPI.
Analysis of the results of the border and semester control in the fall semester showed that we were able to adapt to difficult socio-political conditions and continue provide qualitied educational process. The results of appraisals fall semester show that although the percentage of students certified in all subjects, less than last year, but the share of unsuccessful students are also smaller.
Total number of students who participated in the winter session is 20,256 people, including 2,538 contractors.
Overall, the results of the winter session in comparing with previous years, were satisfactory. Number of students time to fully accounted for the winter session, is more than last year. And the dynamics of success is generally positive. Through objective circumstances, 130 students were given individual schedule for the session.
According to the results of the winter session it was analyzed the exclusion of the students. In the fall semester of this academic year, even against the increasing the numbers of students, the number of excluded is less (1,046 people) than last year.
Traditionally there are more exclusions from 1, 2, and 5-year students. A significant number of the fifth year students is a consequence of the increase number of students from other universities entering the KPI for training in "specialist" and "master" and they could not withstand the high requirements to the level of knowledge at our university.
The number of foreign students to the beginning of the academic year was 372 people. Department together with the Department of linguistics adopted measures to increase the level of teaching Ukrainian and foreign languages by these students.
