The lecture was attended by deans of faculties, faculty, as well as doctoral and master's students of the university.

Banu Mukatayevna emphasized that in a rapidly changing world, the development of research competencies is becoming an integral part of high-quality education and training of competitive specialists.

The report examined in detail modern research practices used in education:

Lesson Study - a method of joint analysis and improvement of teaching practice through a cycle of planning, conducting and discussing educational sessions;

Action Research - a practice-oriented approach in which the teacher acts as a researcher of his own teaching practice in order to improve it;

Constructivism - a philosophy of education that assumes the active role of the student in constructing knowledge based on personal experience, interaction and reflection.

These approaches not only contribute to the deepening of knowledge, but also develop students' research competencies, critical thinking and the ability to work in a team.

Banu Mukatayevna also highlighted the main trends in education:

• emphasis on practice-oriented and project-based learning,
• development of research skills as a key component of academic training,
• strengthening the role of the teacher as a facilitator and mentor,
• integration of digital and analytical tools into the educational process.
