The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of the survey conducted with scientific and pedagogical workers of 23 higher education institutions which was aimed at revealing the attitude of scientific and pedagogical workers to student self-government bodies’ activity and its influence on the development of higher education students’ leadership qualities. Emphasis is placed on the relevance of the chosen research subject, determined by the significant impact of student self-government on various aspects of student life in higher education institutions. The extent to which scientific and pedagogical workers of the higher education institutions are informed about the activities of student self-government bodies and their opinion about the leadership qualities of higher education seekers on the basis of a survey of 104 respondents is revealed. The author’s questionnaire consisted of three blocks of questions. The first block made it possible to collect information about the respondents. With the help of the second block, the scientific and pedagogical workers’ awareness of the activities of student self-government bodies was revealed, and in the third, the scientific and pedagogical workers’ assessment of the influence of student self-government bodies on the development of leadership qualities of higher education students was defined. The α-Cronbach reliability coefficient was calculated in order to check the internal consistency of the questionnaire.
Based on the statements of the respondents, it was proven that the representatives of the teaching community are familiar with the activities of the student self-government bodies in the higher education institutions according to their place of work and the methods of student self-government. More than half of the surveyed scientific and pedagogical workers consider the influence of student self-government bodies on the organization of the educational process in higher education institutions and the development of leadership qualities of higher education students to be significant.
Constructive judgments of the respondents regarding the improvement of student self-governance activities for the successful development of leadership qualities of higher education students are given.
