Astana
International University held a debate-lecture titled “Innovations in
Education: Trend or Mission?”, delivered by the instructors of the
Pedagogical Institute - Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor Z.D.
Baubekova, and Senior Lecturer N.V. Vlasova.
The
event took place in a dynamic and engaging format. The speakers not only
presented modern approaches to integrating innovative technologies into the
educational process, but also offered a critical view of their effectiveness,
sustainability, and pedagogical relevance.
Particular
interest was sparked by the discussion segments, where faculty members and
students actively engaged in conversations about the role of the teacher in the
digital era and the fine line between innovation as a fashionable trend and
innovation as a meaningful pedagogical mission.
The
debate-lecture highlighted the importance of scholarly analysis, professional
collaboration, and open dialogue in shaping educational strategies.
Participants emphasized the high level of preparation, methodological
precision, and deep humanistic perspective brought by the Pedagogical
Institute’s instructors - Professor Z.D. Baubekova and Senior Lecturer N.V.
Vlasova.
We
hope that such events will continue to foster analytical thinking, strengthen
the culture of academic discussion, and enhance the university’s academic
community.
