Axiological Component of Purchased Educational Services

Relevance. The author of the article dwells in sufficient detail on the analysis of ethical evaluation in the study of the Russian market of services for the implementation of educational and scientific works as an actual complex interdisciplinary phenomenon. The institutionalization of this market in the form of functioning and reproduction on the relevant Internet platforms is an important problem, the consequences of which are not fully understood yet. A significant part of students, faced with the task of performing certain educational and scientific works (essays, term papers, tests, practice reports, final qualifying works, dissertations), apply for the appropriate services on specialized sites that offer the performance of these services for a fee. As a result, scientific and educational activities are profaned and discredited, which gradually leads to professional disqualification. This is also an ethical problem.
The рurpose is to determine the reason and the depth of penetration of purchased services into the educational environment of higher education and to analyze the axiological component of this process on the scale of Russian society.
Оbjectives: determine the level of the ethical component in the market of sales of theses; determine copyright infringement from the point of view of ethical evaluation, for example, in the process of forming the percentage of originality during the Anti-Plagiarism procedure; to consider issues related to the moral competence of degrees, qualifications of the owners of acquired (non-independent dissertations and final qualifying works); track and measure the level of approval or disapproval by the society in relation to the services by writing diplomas; to establish and analyze the fine line between tutoring/consulting and the provision of a "turnkey ready-made diploma" service, to consider the ethical side of the issue; to study the main theories and approaches when considering the axiological component of purchased educational services; to formulate the status of the phenomenon of mass education and to characterize it by analyzing the level of demand for graduates in the labor market; consider the category of "trust" as a philosophical phenomenon in the service sector under study and understand how the author of the service is an expert in the field of writing work, since it is he who acts as the designer of the idea of the scientific supervisor; to clarify whether the customers who have chosen the path of buying a diploma (final qualification work, etc.) cause censure from the society, the university management, the scientific supervisor, that is, by what criteria you can evaluate loyalty to the product.
Methodology. Categorical-logical, system-structural, dialectical, and statistical information analysis methods were used as the methodological basis.
Results. As part of our research, we have only partially addressed the complex problem of the development of shadow relations in the educational services market. The result may be a statement that should increase the demands on the quality of training of students in the universities of the country's higher education institutions will be able to maintain themselves as public institutions, with the condition of high professional demand for graduates on the labour market.
Сonclusions. In the field of higher education, especially by the time students graduate from the university, the level of providing them with educational services of the shadow market increases, in particular, as the most common form can be called – writing a final qualification work to order. Here we can draw two main conclusions: 1) the wide spread of such practices, which are informal in nature, indicate that for a graduate, the highest value is the presence of a diploma of higher education in comparison with the value of the acquired professional knowledge; 2) the transition of Universities to a new three-level education and the commercialization of higher education institutions has led to a reduction of the education system in General, when the qualification of "bachelor" is equated in the minds of the layman as an analogue of secondary vocational education (or higher education).
