ANALYSIS OF THE ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORY OF STUDENTS OF TARGETED EDUCATION

• Alexander O. Mescheryakov

Abstract

Inroduction. A targeted training agreement implies the fulfillment of obligations by both sides. While during the time of study in higher education programs or training of highly qualified personnel, priorities of sides may change. It is very difficult to estimate in advance the probability of successful fulfillment of obligations under a targeted training agreement. Although the results of the USE correlate with the results of exams in specialized disciplines, they are not a guarantee of successful completion of the educational program, most students plan to continue further education in graduate school or residency.

This shows the need to assess the real academic and professional trajectories of students in the target area, to adequately take into account both the factors affecting the fulfillment of obligations under the target training agreement, and the effectiveness of targeted training in general.

Aim. Analysis of the academic and professional trajectory of targeted learning students.

Materials and methods. We studied 177 records of students of targeted education who entered the OSMU of the Ministry of Health of Russia (hereinafter – ​OSMU) in 2011.

The χ² test was used with the exception of categories that had less than 10 values to compare the distribution of categorical data.

The Shapiro–Wilk test was used to determine whether the distribution of quantitative data corresponded to the normal distribution law.

The critical significance level for statistical tests is p<0.05.

Results. This study did not reveal demographic differences in specialties or form of education.

There are statistically significant differences in the median scores of target students in various specialties (Kruskal–Wallis test, p=0.001).

Conclusion. Differences in the a priori retain probability of targeted students across different medical organizations (MO) may be related to the characteristics of these organizations. Hypothetically, there are characteristics of MO that can be influenced to retain young professionals in general.

Keywords:academic performance; retention of specialists; targeted training; professional trajectory
