Educational-field practice is one of the most important practices in the training of biology teachers, developing deep theoretical knowledge and practical skills of future specialists. Field practice is the final stage of a theoretical and practical course on plant anatomy and morphology, as well as invertebrate zoology. It gives students the opportunity to clearly understand the principle of unity of the environment and organisms, to know plants in a specific ecological situation.

The Educational-field practice of 1st year students took place in the period from 05/20/2024-06/08/2024 in accordance with the academic calendar «The rules of organization and conducting professional practice International University of Astana». The field practice took place within the boundaries of Astana. The students visited the Small Taldykol Lake, the Botanical garden of Astana and explored large city parks and squares.

During the field practice, students have mastered various methods of herbarization of plants, effective methods of drying plants, methods of collecting insects, used classical methods of plant identification, as well as online applications, modern geobotanical methods.
