Lecture by AIU Professor within the International Winter School

As part of the International Winter School “Public Stability and Social Justice: The Interaction of Politics, Law, and Social Institutions”, held at M. O. Auezov South Kazakhstan University, a lecture was delivered by Zamira D. Baubekova, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences and Professor at Astana International University.

The lecture, titled “The Culture of Pedagogical Presence: Ethics of Speech, Behavior, and Professional Responsibility,” addressed key issues of pedagogical ethics, professional responsibility, and the psychological well-being of participants in the educational process.

The speaker emphasized that in the context of increasing and often contradictory demands placed on educators, pedagogical ethics should not be viewed as a formality, but rather as a crucial condition for maintaining psychological balance and mental health within the educational environment.

The International Winter School, held from January 12 to 23, 2026, was organized for faculty members and young researchers and served as a dynamic platform for professional dialogue, exchange of experience, and scholarly ideas. Despite being conducted online, the discussions were marked by high engagement, depth, and genuine interest from participants.

Speakers from Kazakhstan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and other countries took part in the Winter School, presenting a wide range of relevant academic, pedagogical, and socio-legal topics. This diversity of perspectives enabled participants to broaden their professional outlook and identify new directions for teaching and research activities.
