Scientific-methodical plans -

In the conditions of modern society, young people will have to become an active participant in the large-scale transformations taking place in Kazakhstan, which will require high social competencies from them, such as independence and responsibility, the ability to quickly adapt to changing situations, a creative approach to solving problems.

Employers today are attracted by such personality qualities as sociability, mobility, determination, responsibility, the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in a specific life situation and creativity.

In order to prepare practice-oriented personnel in the higher education system in 2022 on the basis of 4 Kazakhstan universities in the pilot mode introduced such an indicator as social GPA. The purpose of the implementation of the project “Social “GPA” in the practice of Abylkas Saginov Karaganda Technical University is to prepare graduates to serve society by assessing their social activity and involvement in the formation of an active civic position, promoting the ideas of patriotism and labor for the good of the country, attracting young people to solve socially significant problems.

The broad involvement of students in the activities of student self-government bodies, student clubs, circles and sections, socio-political and cultural and sports events contributes to the formation of socio-personal competencies, civic and patriotic values. And, undoubtedly, this will have a positive impact on providing the labor market with practice-oriented personnel, a new generation of managers who are able to bear personal responsibility both for their own well-being and for the well-being of society as a whole.

Since 2022, the educational course “Ultka qyzmet” has been introduced for the first time at our university on the basis of the Model of patriotic education “Formation of a New Kazakhstan Patriotism”.

This system consists of seven logically constructed sequential stages, each of which has a specific target and content load and is designed for a specific term. The topics of the curatorial hours cover all areas of educational work, this is knowledge of the history of KTU, its outstanding teachers-scientists who have made an invaluable contribution to the development and formation of the university, the basics of legal culture, health and ecology, historical and cultural heritage, prospects for industrial and innovative development of Kazakhstan and the country’s first engineers, as well as global technological trends. Depending on the realities and demands of Kazakhstan society, the topics of the educational course are regularly updated and actualised. This approach made it possible to ensure continuity and completeness of the entire educational process, which starts from the first days of study at the university, covers all academic semesters and ends in the last year of study.

Students acquire knowledge of the political, economic and social life of the country, the fundamental rights and duties of a citizen and world trends. The educational course takes place in the format of curatorial hours in free form – these are conversations, discussions (disputations), meetings with interesting people, excursions to museums of the university and the city.

The peculiarity of the course “Ultka qyzmet” is that the supervising hours are conducted by the students themselves, according to the principle an equal teaches an equal, students share experience, knowledge and information. At the same time, supervisor doesn’t act as a teacher, but as the creator of the educational environment in which people study themselves. This approach helps to develop such useful skills as critical thinking and rational cognition, communication skills, the ability to express one’s own thoughts, make decisions, overcome difficulties, study and work in a team.

During the curatorial hours, special attention is paid to the high-quality presentation by students of the topic of the curatorial hour, on which the successful assimilation of the material by students depends. Slides and videos, discussion and brainstorming methods, games and quizzes in the Quizizz, Kahoot platform are used. Various representatives of the Corporate University are invited to the supervisor hours, such as “Kazakhmys Corporation” LLP, “Zhairem MCC” JSC, “ArcelorMittal Temirtau” JSC, “Borusan Makina Kazakhstan” LLP, graduates of our university, who tell students about the nuances of production processes and the future profession.

A survey conducted among students showed that more than 80% of students note the need for supervisor hours and consider it an important advantage to gain new knowledge, as well as the opportunity to learn how to search and process information when preparing reports. During the supervisor hours, students discuss with great interest topics related to their future profession, politics, events taking place in the city, the country and the world, people who have changed the world for the better, as well as achievements in science and technology.

Master classes conducted by experienced supervisors for the exchange of pedagogical experience with young and novice teachers, where the quality criteria are the use of relevant, useful and interesting information, the effectiveness of the presentation of material, the activation of students, contribute to improving the effectiveness of supervisor hours.

The effectiveness of mastering the educational course is determined by testing at the end of each term. Thus, according to the results of the tests conducted for the 2022-23 academic year, the average score was 85%. The results of mastering the educational course material are a key component of the indicator of students’ social competencies or social GPA.

Thus, the educational course “Ultka kyzmet” is primarily aimed at forming a cult of knowledge, striving for professional relevance, active life and civic position among young people.

The teaching staff at Abylkas Saginov Karaganda Technical University is acutely aware of their responsibility for how the younger generation will grow up. Just as a hundred years ago, the aspirations, dreams and hopes of the representatives of the first Kazakh intelligentsia “Alash Orda members” were turned to the education of progressive youth. The words of the outstanding Kazakh public figure, one of the leaders of the Alash movement Alikhan Bukeykhanov – “Serving the nation is not about knowledge, it is about character” are the main ideas of the educational course.
