Report

In the period from December 11, 2014 to December 22, 2014, master’s student L.A. Targaeva specialty 6M010300 “Pedagogy and Psychology” completed a foreign internship in the Czech Republic, Charles University. The university is located in the city of Prague. The scientific supervisor of the internship was Inna Chabelkova,Ph. D, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Junior Professor at the Faculty of Humanities of Charles University, Head of the Department of Advanced Studies at the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University, and Vadim Strelkovsky,Ph. D, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Junior Professor at the Institute of Economics at Charles University, Prague, Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University . Compared to universities in Central and Eastern Europe, Charles University was only ahead of Moscow University (74th place). Among non-American educational institutions, fifth place in the ranking belongs to the English University of Cambridge, tenth place to Oxford University, and twentieth place to University College London.

The main goal was to study the learning experience in Czech educational institutions; with the system and management in the field of higher education, a visit was made to the university classrooms of the university and one of the schools in Prague.

In order to study international experience in the field of student training, the following laboratories were visited:

Laboratory of Information Technologies

Innovation hall

Department of International Student Mobility

Educational technologies focused on Eurofunds.

We were shown master's and student projects: "double degree" programs, receiving grants, the "education of life" program. In addition to lectures, we took part in trainings and practical exercises. More than half of the study programs are accredited in English or other languages ​​(German, French). Charles University has the highest percentage of foreign students of all Czech universities (more than 7000) mainly from the UK, Scandinavia, the Iberian Peninsula, North America and Asia, about 2000 of them study in a foreign language.

Master's students worked on compiling a bibliography on the topics of master's theses. International publications and studies were reviewed. The work was carried out in the university libraries. I have prepared articles on the topics of master's theses.

The experience of Charles University shows that the highest quality education is possible only with close connection with practice. We have seen that project activities at the university are carried out in close interdisciplinary connection. Curricula define:

structure and content of specialist training,

sequence and timing of studying academic disciplines,

number of teaching hours per week,

types of training sessions - lectures, seminars, independent study (DK/IB). A shift away from lectures towards seminars and group discussions.

forms of current and final certification (midterm exam, final exam, general exam)

other requirements in accordance with educational standards.

It is obvious that there are a number of differences in the education systems of the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan. We tried to highlight from the Czech work experience those components that we can further implement and use in the educational system of Kazakhstan. From this trip I highlighted many new and useful things in the field of education, training and intercultural interaction.

I express my hope that in the future, our master’s students’ trips to foreign universities will continue, since internships and advanced training courses will contribute to the development and increase in the level of theoretical preparedness of master’s students.

Master's student L.A. Targaeva

A master's student at the South Kazakhstan State University named after Mukhtar Auezov in Shymkent, who introduced himself as Bagdaulet (most interlocutors asked not to indicate their last names), planned to go under an academic mobility program to Poland to conduct research on the topic of scientific work. The master's student says that the university management announced that the students will go not to European countries, but to Russia.

We were planning to go to Europe. But now we are sent to St. Petersburg to undergo a mandatory two-week internship. Not enough money. They said that they would allocate 100-120 thousand tenge (266-320 US dollars - Ed.). The cost of the ticket is 80 thousand tenge; the remaining money for a hotel and training is not enough. Previously, they gave out 300 thousand tenge,” says a master’s student from Shymkent.

“IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GO TO THE USA FOR 300 THOUSAND TENGE”

There are also many students in Kazakhstan who cannot go abroad at all for a two-week internship. Master's student at the International Kazakh-Turkish University in Turkestan Gulzhan Serik is one of them. According to Gulzhan, when she began to prepare for the trip and collect the documents necessary for going abroad, the university management announced that master’s students would not go on a business trip abroad this year.

According to the law, during two weeks of foreign internship we must collect material for our dissertation. For this, the state must allocate 300 thousand tenge,” Gulzhan Serik is indignant.

The student says that she wrote to the blog of the Minister of Education and Science about the problems with going on a scientific internship abroad and was told that the individual work plan of a master’s student provides for mandatory completion of a foreign scientific internship and that the expenses of master’s students studying on the basis of a state educational grant are covered by budget.

A student at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in Almaty, named Almasbek, says he planned to go on an internship in the United States, but decided against it due to lack of finances.

It is impossible to travel to the USA for 300 thousand tenge (at the current rate of 800 US dollars - Ed.). The ticket price will be 350 thousand tenge. Therefore, I will go wherever the university directs me,” says the student.

Some students this year still managed to complete a two-week foreign internship in European countries. For example, master's students from the Kazakh National Technical University named after Kanysh Satpayev in Almaty and the Eurasian National University named after Lev Gumilyov in Astana traveled to the West during the winter holidays under an academic mobility program.

"DUE TO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES"

RFE/RL contacted universities to find out how the issue of two-week foreign scientific internships was being resolved.

An employee of the international relations department of the South Kazakhstan State University named after Mukhtar Auezov, who introduced herself as Arida, says that “due to financial difficulties, master’s students will go to neighboring countries for a two-week internship.”

The head of the educational and methodological department of the International Kazakh-Turkish University in Turkestan, Berik Akhmetov, said that the university will not allocate money for the trip; undergraduates can go abroad at their own expense.

An employee of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, who did not want to introduce himself, briefly answered that the university was waiting for funds to be received from the ministry.

In accordance with the academic mobility program, students of higher educational institutions studying on the basis of a state educational grant, as part of conducting research work, are required to undergo an internship in educational or research institutions in Kazakhstan or abroad. Upon completion of the two-week overseas internship, students must submit an expense report and include the information they collected in their dissertation. For a foreign trip of one student, 300 thousand tenge is allocated from the budget. However, the majority of students who have visited abroad often say that the allocated money is only enough for air tickets and hotel payments; they cover other expenses from their own funds.

Upon completion of the master's degree, the student is required to undergo a research internship. This is an opportunity to consolidate all the knowledge accumulated in theory and develop practical skills in their application, so necessary in the future profession. Based on the results of his activities, the student draws up a report and presents it to his supervisor.

Scientific research practice (R&D) of master's students

Internship for master's students is a mandatory stage of the educational process in any field - economics, law, pedagogy, etc. Every master's student must take it at the end of the academic semester. The volume and schedule of research work is agreed upon with the scientific supervisor. The undergraduate student also agrees on the place for his temporary work with the academic department.

Goals and objectives of research work

The purpose of the practice can be called systematization of the theoretical base accumulated during the period of study, as well as the formation of skills in conducting scientific research by setting and solving problems on the topic of the dissertation.

The main task of a student’s research work (RW) is to gain experience in studying the problem posed and to select analytical materials for writing his final work.

During research, the student studies:

• information sources on the topic of your dissertation research;
• modeling methods, data collection;
• modern software products;
• rules for preparing scientific and technical reports.

Based on the results of the research, the master's student must finally formulate the topic of his dissertation, prove the relevance and practical value of this topic, develop a program for its study and independently implement scientific research.

Place and features of research internship

Research practice can be carried out on the basis of an organization of any field of activity and form of ownership, an institution of a higher education system, or in a state or municipal government body.

Research practice for a master’s student consists of the following stages:

1. Preliminary stage (preparation of work plan)
2. Main research stage
3. Compilation of a report

Certification of a master's student based on the results of his work is carried out on the basis of the defense of the submitted report.

To organize research work you need:

1. Select a place for future internship by agreeing with your supervisor;
2. Conclude an agreement between the selected practice base and the university;
3. When directing students to practice, the master's curator organizes a meeting at the university department and provides students with a practice program, diary, direction, individual assignment and other necessary documents.

Head of research work from the university:

• helps write an individual plan for the student;
• studies and evaluates analytical materials collected during the work and the diary;
• provides general management of the research process.

For the entire period of internship, the organization provides the undergraduate with a workplace. The head of practice from the organization is responsible for the current management of the student’s research work (R&D).

INits tasks include:

• drawing up a program implementation plan together with the master’s student;
• monitoring the student’s activities and providing assistance if necessary;
• monitoring the progress of the compiled program;
• verification of analytical materials selected during the research process;
• writing a review (characteristics);
• assistance in reporting.

During the internship period, the student’s work should be organized based on the logic of work on the master’s thesis. A research program is drawn up in accordance with the chosen topic. Master's students are required to regularly make entries in their diaries about all stages of the work. Upon completion of research activities, you are required to write a report on the undergraduate’s research internship and submit the finished report to the head of the department of your university.

Research practice report

All materials and diary entries collected as a result of practice are systematized and analyzed. Based on them, the undergraduate must make a report, which is submitted to the supervisor for verification within the time limits established by the curriculum. The last step is to defend the report to your supervisor and the commission. Based on the results of the defense, a grade is given and admission to the next semester is issued.

The practice is assessed on the basis of reporting documentation drawn up by the master's student and his defense. It includes: a completed internship report and a diary.

Structure of the research report

The practice report contains 25 - 30 pages and should have the following structure:

1. Title page.

2. Introduction, including:

2.1. The purpose of the research work, the place and period of its completion.

2.2. List of completed tasks.

3. Main part.

4. Conclusion, including:

4.1. Description of acquired practical skills.

4.2. Individual conclusions about the value of the research conducted.

5. List of sources.

6. Applications.

Also, the main content of the research report includes:

• list of bibliographic sources on the topic of the dissertation;
• review of existing scientific schools on the research topic. Usually presented in the form of a table;
• review of a scientific publication relevant to the topic;
• the results of developing a theoretical basis for scientific research on your topic and an abstract review (relevance, degree of development of the direction in various studies, general characteristics of the subject, goals and objectives of your own scientific research, etc.). If the results of the research were presented by the undergraduate at conferences or articles were published in journals, then copies of them are attached to the report.

The main evaluation criteria for the report are:

• logic and structured presentation of research material, completeness of disclosure of the topic, goals and objectives of the study;
• a creative approach to summarizing and analyzing data using the latest scientific methods;
• skills in clear and consistent presentation of material, presentation of the results of one’s work, skills in mastering modern research methods, and selecting demonstration materials;

The final grade depends on the correctness of writing the report, so you should pay due attention to its preparation. You can even contact your supervisor and ask for an example of a report on a master’s student’s research practice. Such an example will help to avoid mistakes in the preparation and execution of the document, and therefore the need to redo the work.

Completing a research internship is an important stage in preparation for writing a master's thesis. Based on the data obtained, a well-written report and the trainee’s diary entries, the final work is subsequently formed.

Introduction

Main goal Research practice of undergraduates is the development of the ability to independently carry out research work related to solving professional problems necessary for current or future professional activities, as wellgaining experience in managerial, organizational and educational work in a team.Research practice is dispersed and is carried out by a master's student with a supervisor. The direction of research practice is determined in accordance with the master's program and the topic of the master's thesis.

Main tasks research practice are: development of professional research thinking of undergraduates, formation of a clear understanding of the main professional tasks and methods of solving them,to shape the personality of a future scientist specializing in the field of educationMoreover, the formation of the ability to independently set professional tasks, plan research work and carry out practical research when solving professional problems using modern research methods, as well as the formation of the ability to competently use modern technologies for collecting information, processing and interpreting experimental data obtained, maintaining a bibliographic work on the topic of the final qualifying work using modern information technologies.

MAIN PART

Dates and place of internship

In the period from November 28, 2016 to December 24, 2016, I underwent scientific and pedagogical practice at secondary school No. 25 “Municipal budgetary educational institution secondary school No. 25.”

Activity analysis

The topic of scientific research practice was the title of the master’s thesis “Quality management of the pedagogical process in a general education organization" As part of the practice, a number of key areas of writing the work were considered, an introduction and the first chapter were compiled.

The main issue of the work was the study of the features of managing the main areas of activity that ensure the quality of the results of the educational process at school. In its constant increase in accordance with the needs of the individual, society, state and the real possibilities of the traditional education system.

Together with the head, the most effective hypothesis was identified, which states that: managing the quality of the results of the educational process at school will be most effective if:

Expand the concepts of “quality of education” and “quality management of education”.

The main directions in ensuring the quality of the results of the educational process will be:

Working with students;

Personal self-awareness;

Working with the teaching staff;

Work to unite the team of students.

The quality criteria for the results of the educational process will be:

- pedagogical communication;

Cohesion of the school team;

- personal results.

Effective indicators that meet the above criteria would be:quality of communication, interaction, level of sociability, students' satisfaction with school life, self-determination, self-esteem.

In the 21st century, understanding the quality of education is not only the compliance of students’ knowledge with state standards, but also the successful functioning of the educational institution itself, as well as the activities of every administrator and teacher in ensuring the quality of educational services at school.

We have selected methods for diagnostics based on these criteria and indicators.

1. The methodology reveals the level of competence of the teacher from the student’s point of view, determines the degree of sympathy of the student for the teacher, shows the real interaction between teacher and student (developed by E. I. Rogov)

2. Methodology A.A. Andreeva “Studying satisfaction with school life.”

3. Methodology for studying self-esteem “What I am” (developedbased on the new Federal State Educational Standards (FSES)).

We can see the results of the diagnostic section at the ascertaining stage in tables “No. 1,2,3

Table No. 1. Development of pedagogical communication, “teacher-student” methodology.

Table No. 2 Level of student satisfaction with school life

Question No. Level											total amount
Short
Average
High

Table No. 3 Methodology for studying self-esteem “what I am”

To the question: think about how you perceive yourself and evaluate yourself based on ten different positive personality traits, the answer was received.
Personality qualities assessed	Yes	No	Sometimes	Don't know
Good	83%		17%
Kind	83%	1%	12%
Smart	95%			4%
Careful	70%	8%	20%
Obedient	50%	12%	17%	8%
Attentive	80%		17%	4%
Polite	80%		12%	8%
Skillful (capable)	83%	4%	8%	4%
Hardworking	83%		12%	4%
Honest	93%		4%	4%

From the above pictures of the methods carried out, we see that the level of pedagogical interaction between teacher and student is high, but there are also students whose level does not reach average.

1. The psychologist, together with the class teacher, develop a topic for the class hour.

2. Regularly hold parent-teacher meetings, and also work with certain parents.

3. Conduct trainings every quarter, etc.

Thus, during the practice, the results of the experimental research were generalized and systematized, and an educational program was developed.Diagnostics were carried outeffectiveness of the quality of the educational process at school No. 25. Analytical work has been drawn up to provide an assessment of the quality management system of the educational process, and recommendations have been developed for improving management activities.

Conclusion

As a result of scientific research practice, a study was conducted as part of writing a master's thesis, namely, the issue of studyingfeatures of management of the main activities that ensure the quality of the results of the educational process at school.

We obtained results that allowed us to conclude that the low results of our students when conducting methods (questionnaires) at the ascertaining stage and the positive dynamics of results at the experimental stage are not random and confirm the need for constant ones;

Trainings,

The psychologist, together with the class teacher, develop topics for the class hour;

Organize work with parents (parental committee) to effectively manage the quality of education in an educational institution.

Diagnostics and analysis of the quality of the educational process of schoolchildren can be considered as the main direction and method of work, allowing purposeful management of the quality of the educational process at school. This involves solving the following problems:

Planning the educational process based on diagnosing the level of education and upbringing of students.

Constantly monitoring the dynamics of the level of quality of student education and developing practical recommendations to improve it.

Diagnostics of value orientations and the level of practical readiness of the teaching staff, especially class teachers, to interact with students in extracurricular activities in order to monitor the dynamics of the quality of the educational process.

Diagnosis of the level of pedagogical knowledge of parents in order to clarify the parental position.
