AIU Holds Team-Taught Lecture for Master’s Students

The Pedagogical Institute of Astana International University held an open lecture titled “Innovative Strategies and Technologies” for master’s students. The session was organised as a teaching partnership and delivered by Z. D. Baubekova, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences and Professor, together with first-year master’s student N. B. Kuramysova.

The lecture covered the meaning of reflection and the stages of the reflective cycle, the main principles of reflective technologies, the functions of educational games, A. Osborn’s brainstorming method, W. Gordon’s synectics, the “Rice Beans” method and common mistakes in organising reflective activities.

The main feature of the team-taught lecture was its focus on strengthening interaction between the lecturer and the master’s student. The professor’s academic and teaching experience was combined with the master’s student’s initiative, enabling the young specialist to gain valuable experience. The session also provided master’s students with an opportunity to exchange ideas and jointly discuss effective educational initiatives.
