Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to the problem of formation and diagnostics of the levels of innovation and entrepreneurship competence of the futuremanagers of education in the conditions of the knowledge economy. The purpose of the research is theoretical substantiation and experimental verification of the system of formation and diagnostics of innovation and entrepreneurship competence of the future managers of education in a higher education institution in the conditions of the knowledge economy. The authors define the innovation and entrepreneurship competence of education managers as mastering a certain level of developed knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, experience and qualities. The research is a system that includes an assessment technology outlining the assessment matrix containing a description of the levels, criteria and indicators of innovation and entrepreneurship competence of the future education managers. Necessary condition for solving the problem of preparing the education managers for their future professional activity presupposes the formation of motivational-value, cognitive, activity, personality and evaluative-reflective components being the components of their innovation and entrepreneurship competence. The results of practical application of innovation and entrepreneurial competence showed that a large proportion of students try their hand at starting and registering their own business. Raising the level of registered enterprises by students in 2008—2018 by more than 30 times is evidence not only of the introduction of digital technologies in education, but also of the growing availability of information technology and the Internet. The share of students who plan to start their own business after graduation reaches 50%, but a little more than 10% achieve the planned goals. Only 2.5% of students plan to join the family business, this share may increase to 4.5% in the future. The application of the system has provided a positive dynamic of the formation of innovation and entrepreneurship competence in the prospective education managers in all its structural components. The results of the implementation of this system have confirmed its effectiveness and expediency for application in the educational process of higher education institutions.
