New Approaches to Organizing the Pedagogical Practice of Doctoral Students in the Department of Primary Education

On March 2, 2025, the pedagogical practice of second-year doctoral students of the Department of Primary Education was completed. During the practice, modern scientific and methodological approaches were implemented. A new initiative was the development and publication of scientific-methodological podcasts titled "PRO Pedagogy: How to Teach Future Teachers," which were shared on the department`s social media platforms. This project was carried out by the doctoral students in collaboration with the practice supervisor, L.A. Lebedeva, and academic advisors A.E. Zhumabaeva, A.S. Amirova, A.Kh. Arenova, S.A. Nurzhanova, and A. Turalbayeva.

Doctoral students, together with master`s students and faculty members, discussed current issues in modern pedagogical education. The podcast episodes addressed key challenges that doctoral students encountered during their teaching activities and provided practical solutions and methodological recommendations.

At the end of the practice, a final survey was conducted among master`s students to evaluate the quality of the lessons delivered by the doctoral students. The survey results showed that more than 80% of master`s students were satisfied with the lessons; over 90% noted the effectiveness of the applied teaching methods; 94% highlighted the doctoral students` strong preparation; 80% indicated that the material was highly accessible; more than 60% rated the interactivity of the lessons as high; and over 90% confirmed that the lessons contributed to the development of their practical skills.

At the same time, the survey also identified areas for further improvement, such as enhancing the effectiveness of certain teaching methods, increasing interactivity, and refining organizational aspects.

Overall, the doctoral students` practice demonstrated a high level of professional preparation in primary education and facilitated the exchange of experience among participants in the educational process.
