Justification of the program
Under the World Bank-supported Modernizing Education Project, universities in international cooperation have revised (30) teacher education curricula in line with the principles of competency-based education, which ensures the holistic development of students’ competencies. Moreover, a student-centered approach better prepares future teachers for the teaching profession by providing practical examples, experiments, and experiences that future teachers can transfer to their work in the classroom, taking into account the diverse needs and well-being of students.
In order to meet the requirements of the updated primary and secondary education, the professional competencies of teachers had to be re-evaluated and supplemented. New approaches in secondary education should be reflected in teacher education and graduate profiles. In addition, thirty (30) updated or new educational programs were developed to more effectively improve various general competencies of future teachers - the most important in the teaching profession. Some important pedagogical principles that the Kazakh education system strives to develop, such as inclusiveness and interdisciplinarity, were taken into account. In addition, these educational programs pay special attention to the development of research skills of future teachers so that they become practicing teachers who constantly analyze and evaluate their own practice and the practical activities of their schools for the development of the community and the entire education sector.
Basic principles of the educational program
Competency-based teacher education
The teacher's competence combines competence in the field of pedagogy and his/her subject area with theoretical and practical competence in teaching in various working conditions. The teacher has the knowledge and skills necessary for his/her subject area and is therefore able to teach and guide young people and adults studying the same subject.
The teacher's competence is focused on planning, leading, teaching and assessing. Therefore, the teacher must have sufficient theoretical knowledge on teaching and developing competencies. In addition, in modern working life, special attention is paid to cooperation and networking, skill development, and supporting and maintaining the well-being of both oneself and one's surroundings.
Teacher competence is influenced by changes in the labour market, educational structures and society as a whole, all of which highlight the dynamic nature of teacher work. Work characterized by constant change in a variety of working conditions places emphasis on the teacher’s ability to evaluate and adjust their own work. Self-evaluation skills are an important part of developing professional identity. Teachers constantly make decisions based on values, which means that considering professional ethics is an essential professional skill. Change requires the development of expert knowledge, the ability to learn, and the ability to reform and renew methods of work in society.
Competency-based teacher education curriculum
The competency-based curriculum for teacher education consists of three parts: 1) Pedagogical component, 2) Subject component, 3) Compulsory component. Each of these components includes modules and corresponding courses. The learning outcomes of the courses describe the competencies required in teaching and refer to the sixth level of the NQF (National Qualifications Framework).
The educational program is based on the following basic principles:
- Competency-based approach
- Constructive agreement
- Student-centered approach and methods that promote active learning
- Research-based learning
- Interdisciplinary learning
- Inclusion
- Professional development of teachers and change management
