The purpose of research – the development of models and methods of multiparametrical diagnostic the research activities of scientific and pedagogical collectives of educational institutions. The problematics of research is improving the quality and productivity (the efficiency) of research activities in educational institutions. The problem of research is the question of how to objectively and comprehensively (in a complex) diagnose the research activities of scientific and pedagogical collectives? The urgency of solving specified problem is caused by the need to ensuring a close relationship between research, methodological and educational activities in educational institutions. We have also to consider the increasing role of clusters in the Russian economy, cooperation and integration levels (steps) a system of continuous education, etc. The authors identified the parameters reflecting significance of research activities of the scientific and the pedagogical collectives for the scientific and educational community (social megaenvironmental). When allocating indicators the authors took into account that science - the social and cultural phenomenon and the social institution, and the most important aspect of the significance of the research activity - in the innovative development of various spheres of human activity. The applied methods of research: mathematical modeling; methods of the theory of graphs, sets and relations; methods of "artificial intelligence" and the multi-parameter analysis of systems; methods of quality control (theory of latent variables). Methodological bases of research: systemic, cultural, competence, metasystem, sociological, qualimetric and synergetic approaches

In the article we have reflected a relationship between the parameters of the research activities of scientific and pedagogical collectives and the characteristics of the educational environment in higher education. It is known that the research activities of scientific and pedagogical workers and teams - an integral part functioning of the higher education institution (and improving its efficiency is one of the most important problems). The authors proved that parameters reflecting research activity of scientific and pedagogical higher education of institution employees characterize the aspects of the educational environment as its latitude, intensity, social activity, coherence, mobility, stability, reliability and efficiency. It is caused by the fact that the research activities of scientific and pedagogical workers - a multifaceted social and cultural phenomenon. The idea of the diagnosis of the educational environment of a higher educational institution and its structural units, based on an assessment of scientometric indicators (criteria for research productivity), can be completely suitable for international and Russian requirements: the well-known Shanghai procedure shifts the emphasis on the evaluation of various aspects of the research activities in higher education; serious attention to assessing the research activity focuses and Russian technique diagnostic efficiency of higher education institutions. This is logical and soundly: if the educational environment of a higher educational institution is not a center of science, then it cannot have effectively and competitive graduates, because Research and pedagogical staff - the governing factor in the educational process. Based on previously developed models of research activities in scientific and pedagogical collectives, as well as on generally accepted models of educational environments, the authors have proposed a method for the diagnosis of the educational environment, based on an assessment of scientometric indicators - parameters reflecting the impact of the research activities of scientific and pedagogical workers. Obtained results may be the theoretical basis for further scientific understanding of the problem of increasing the productivity of research activities in higher education, as well as problems - increasing the competitiveness of educational environments. The practical significance of the results of this study - the possibility of their use in the system of socio-pedagogical monitoring - monitoring of productivity the research activities and effectiveness of educational environments. Methods of investigation: modeling, methods of the theory of sets and relations, methods of probability theory and mathematical statistics, methods of the theory of limits, methods of linear algebra and analytic geometry, multi-parameter analysis of the systems and methods of quality control (latent variables theory). Methodological bases of research: a systematic, metasystem, qualimetric, sociological and probabilistic and statistical approaches
