Povzetek

Raziskovalno vprašanje (RV): v članku podajamo odgovor na vprašanje koliko je je slovenski sistem terciarnega izobraževanj učinkovit v primerjavi z drugimi sistemi terciarnega izobraževanja v državah članicah OECD,  ter kateri so tisti elementi, ki jih je mogoče v slovenskem sistemu še izboljšati oz. optimizirati za doseganje optimalne relativne učinkovitosti.

Namen: raziskava poskuša osvetliti slovenski sistem terciarnega izobraževanja z vidika učinkovitega delovanja ter ga primerjati s sistemi ostalih držav članic OECD s ciljem, da se identificira tista področja, v katerih slovenski sistem ne dosega ustreznih rezultatov, ki bi omogočali popolnoma učinkovito delovanje.

Metoda: Z uporabo teoretičnih osnov za identificiranje ključnih inputov in outputov ter sekundarnih podatkov iz mednarodnih virov smo izvedli analizo relativne učinkovitosti z uporabo metode DEA, da bi proučili notranjo učinkovitost sistemov terciarnega izobraževanja v 29 državah OECD, za katere so bili na voljo celoviti podatki v obdobju študije.

Rezultati: Rezultati kažejo, da slovenski sistem terciarnega izobraževanja ni dosegel popolne učinkovitosti v nobenem od štirih uporabljenih modelov. Po stopnji relativne učinkovitosti se je Slovenija uvrstila med 20. in 25. mesto med 29 proučevanimi državami članicami OECD. Za doseganje popolne učinkovitosti bi bilo potrebno izboljšati rezultate outputov tako na področju pedagoške kot raziskovalne dejavnosti.

Organizacija: Rezultati raziskave lahko predstavljajo uporabno orodje za doseganje relativne učinkovitosti odločevalcem na državni ravni kot tudi managerjem posameznih inštitucij terciarnega izobraževanja

Družba: Doseganje učinkovitosti na področju terciarnega izobraževanja je pomembno za širšo družbo predvsem z vidika oseb, ki se vključujejo v proces kot tudi z vidika širšega vpliva, ki ga ima terciarno izobraževanje na gospodarstvo in družbo

Originalnost: To je prva raziskava, ki opravi pregled dosedanjih študij, ki obravnavajo učinkovitost sistemov terciarnega izobraževanja z vidika analize rezultatov slovenskega sistema terciarnega izobraževanja ter podrobneje ugotavlja doseganje učinkovitosti slovenskega sistema terciarnega izobraževanja.

Omejitve/nadaljnje raziskovanje: Raziskava temelji na sekundarnih podatkih, ki so bili pridobljeni iz mednarodnih baz. Proučevani vzorec ni naključno izbran ampak temelji na tistih državah, za katere so bili za celotno obdobje na razpolago popolni podatki. Raziskavo je smiselno nadgraditi s širšim vzorcem držav ter z uporabo drugih oz. dodatnih inputov  in outputov, predvsem s tistimi, ki odražajo kakovostno komponento uporabljenih inputov  in outputov.

 

Ključne besede: učinkovitost, sistemi terciarnega izobraževanja, metoda DEA, države članice OECD, financiranje izobraževanja, diplomanti.
