Abstract

This article has been retracted. Please see: Retraction of published article due to the author’s proposal - 4 June 2023

The article describes the dynamic "quality of education" system as an object of modeling with initial data, system parameters, control parameters, disturbing parameters and output parameters. Drawing analogies in the description of a dynamic system as applied to intangible objects allows obtaining a detailed description of the factors regarding the internal and external influence on a dynamic system and predicting the reaction of this system to a change in the elements of power. When describing the quality of education system, one should consider the relationship between its socio-economic impact and the following properties: purposefulness of the system; system hierarchy; interdependence between the system and the external environment; the level of autonomy and openness; system reliability; dimension of the system. Based on the data on the description of the methods of black, gray and white boxes, an algorithm for the transition between models for the quality of education system was formed. The description of the system is carried out by moving from the black to the gray box model, and then to the white box. Each of the models can be self-sufficient and satisfactorily describe a set of input and output parameters. However, the degree of determinism of the description process increases with the transition from the previous model to the next.
