Teacher training in natural scientific disciplines in the context of modernization of education in Kazakhstan.

Abstract

The article discusses the requirements that modernization of education in Kazakhstan makes for teacher training in natural scientific disciplines in pedagogical higher education institutions in view of international trends in the modern world. The fact that Kazakhstan signed the Bologna Declaration put the country in need of a significant modernization of the education system including higher pedagogical education. The modern environment poses new goals and tasks for school education; in particular, for natural science education, which should provide every student with the opportunity to achieve the required level of knowledge. It should be represented by successively related sections of natural scientific disciplines including the integration with methodological disciplines that will significantly improve the quality of professional teacher training.
