Science as the Main Prerequisite of the Civilization DevelopmentСтр 1 из 36Следующая ⇒
Введение Процессы глобализации, происходящие во всех сферах жизни и в том числе в сфере образования, делают востребованным изучение английского языка как средства профессионально-ориентированного межкультурного общения. В свете новых требований переосмыслены цели, содержание, принципы и технологии иноязычного профессионально-ориентированного образования. Данный учебник английского языка для специальных целей призван обеспечить реализацию цели овладения английским языком на профессионально-ориентированном межкультурном уровне. Методическая система, отраженная в учебнике, базируется на когнитивно-лингвокультурологической методологии иноязычного образования, разработанной в КазУМОиМЯ им. Абылай хана (Кунанбаева С.С.) и обеспечивает личностно-центрированный, контекстно-базируемый, профессионально-ориентированный, компетентностный подходы. В соответствии с этой теорией содержание учебника структурируется в виде тематико-текстовых единств (ТТЕ – термин Кулибаевой Д.Н.). Организующим стержнем каждого единства является содержательная представленность профессионального контекста. Для формирования межкультурно-комуникативной компетенции профессионального общения осуществляется конструирование ТТЕ с учетом основных функций текста (коммуникативная, прагматическая, когнитивная, эпистимическая). На последовательности этих ТТЕ и одноименных с ними стадий (понятийно-когнитивная, информационно-аккумулятивная и прагматико-репрезентирующая), формирующих указанные функции, строится преемственная система обучения и формирования профессионально-ориентированных умений, обеспечивающих усвоение предметного содержания будущей профессии и тем самым закладываются основы «контекстного обучения». Данный комплекс ТТЕ выступает как интегративная учебная единица. Когнитивно-лингвокультурологический (профессионально-контекстный) аспект ТТЕ составляют: 1. аутентичные инофонные тексты различных профессионально-ориентированных жанров как ядро единства; 2. коммуникативные сферы с набором специфических для каждой сферы речевых тематик; 3. типичные ситуации общения, типовые и прагмо-профессиональные задачи; 4. лингвистический (языковой и метаязыковой) материал. Процессуальный же аспект содержания тематико-текстовых единств включает набор соответствующих компетенций, упражнений и технологий для их формирования. Обновленное с новых методологических позиций содержание профессионально-базируемого образования структурируется в учебнике путем выведения 5-ти ТТЕ (Units), представленных двумя коммуникативными сферами (общепрофессиональная и специально-профессиональная). Предметный и процессуальный аспекты содержания реализуются в учебнике системой подготовительных и речекоммуникативных упражнений в составе инновационных технологий, которые обеспечивают поэтапный переход от имитативно-репродуктивного к продуктивному и креативному уровню профессионально-ориентированного, контекстно-базируемого иноязычного общения. Среди инновационных интерактивных технологий преобладают игровые (ролевые-ситуативные, мнемотехнические и др.), креативные (решение проблемных задач и др.), проективные. Содержание учебника соответствует уровню C1 общеевропейского стандарта, являясь логическим продолжением учебника базового английского языка для 2 курса, обеспечивающего общеевропейский уровень B2. С учетом требований кредитной системы учебник предусматривает наряду с аудиторными практическими занятиями по английскому языку для специальных целей определенный объем самостоятельной работы студентов.

Well Rounded Curriculum – An Insight from Biglan’s classification of disciplines (by Sanjay Gö del) 3. Implications for Curriculum Design Simple Knowledge Organization System. UNESCO nomenclature for fields of science and technology: Overview As per this classification, hard disciplines follow a single common paradigm, whereas the experts of soft disciplines differ in their methodologies and concepts. The hard-pure disciplines are concerned with universals and simplification, whereas soft-pure disciplines are concerned with particular cases. The thinking approaches significantly differ for these categories. The hard-pure disciplines have an atomistic approach and rely more on linear logic, facts, and concepts whereas soft-pure disciplines have a holistic approach, and rely more on the breadth of intellectual ideas, creativity and expression. What classification of sciences do you know? What classification of academic disciplines do you know? PRAGMATICS ACTIVISATION: WRITING Read the question below.

CONCEPT STUDY Text A Text B What is Research? The chief responsibility of a university is to produce and disseminate new knowledge. New knowledge is created through research. Research is based on primary and secondary sources, often together with original data collected via research " instruments" (surveys, interviews, questionnaires, " focus groups, " etc.) to produce new knowledge on a particular topic. In addition to primary sources and original instruments, secondary sources are used to provide an overview of existing published knowledge on a topic, and possible current debates about the topic. The background provided by secondary sources provides a contextual background and establishes how the new knowledge described in a paper differs from what is already known. Research may be categorized as either Basic or Applied:
All research focuses on " solving problems" — at minimum, as it concerns FIN-1, answering the defined research question(s). Otherwise, research addresses the perceived " problem" of missing or inadequate information on a particular topic. Research might be further categorized as follows:
The emphasis and methodology of research may differ between different fields and disciplines, particularly between the Sciences and the Humanities. However, most fields share the following concerns:
Research is most often published (in academic or professional journals, in online archives, or as a " monograph" ) as a research " paper, " though it may also be presented orally (at least initially) as a conference address, or even in " poster" format at a scholarly conference. When published as a " full research paper" it will usually include the following components. VOCABULARY PROJECT 1 Analyse one research paper (article, course paper, diploma project, master degree thesis, etc.) according to the outline given in the text ‘What is Research? ’. 2.

Consult the ‘Worksheets and Instructions’ section. 1.2 The System of Secondary and Higher Vocational Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan and Abroad.Types of Secondary Schools. Documents of Secondary Education.Admission to the University LEAD-IN Education in Kazakhstan The educational system in Kazakhstan is conducted in two languages - Kazakh and Russian and consists of several levels of state and private educational establishments: infant schools, elementary (or primary) schools, comprehensive schools, colleges and academies. The constitution prohibits any discrimination on the basis of language or ethnicity and guarantees equal rights in education regardless of nationality. Children start school at the age of 7 and finish at 17. As a rule a child attends the school, located in the neighborhood. The first stage of education in Kazakhstan is elementary (or primary) school for grades one through four. The second is secondary school for middle grades from five through nine. Upon graduation from secondary school students are given the choice of either continuing to attend the same school (high school -senior grades 10-11) or entering a vocational or technical school. Both of these schools are meant to provide one, along with the certificate of secondary education with a number of useful skills (e.g. those of an electrician, technical or computer operators). To be admitted to the institute one has to pass a series of oral or written tests. Students may get free-of-charge higher education in the higher educational institution and the limited number of the state grants is given each academic year on a competitive basis. Some college departments (law, journalism, foreign language-especially English) have dozens of applicants for one prospective student's position. Studying of foreign languages and development of computer skills of pupils is of a special importance. More opportunities appear for the interested persons to be trained abroad on the basis of local and state grants, scholarships. [14] Native English, 2014 A The content of vocational education in senior grades 10-11 is implemented in the context of three fields of specialization: Natural Science and Mathematics, Social Studies and the Humanities, Technology. B The constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan fixes the right of citizens of the republic on free-of-charge secondary education which is obligatory. C Private universities, typically for-profit institutions, are subject to the same regulations regarding curriculum but are free to set tuition and salaries as they see fit. D The system of higher education prepares highly - skilled experts on economy, transport, agriculture, medicine, languages and others. Today the young people of Kazakhstan have the opportunity to choose and acquire various types of education and build their lives according to their ambitions. E Having completed one's secondary education, one can either become a part of work force or go on college (institution of higher learning-Institute).
F Public universities are subject to the same regulations as other government-owned organs, regarding not only fees and salaries, but also administrative structure, contracting and subcontracting, and ownership of property. G However, in big cities there are so-called special schools, offering more in depth studies of the major European languages (English, French, German) or the advanced courses in physics and mathematics and children, attending one of this may have to commute from home.

Examples and trend Trends in Education A Introduction A trend is a shift or tendency within a system, for example schools, that is likely to grow in importance and influence how the system operates. Examples include economic developments, changes in society or in employment, or in attitudes and behaviour. Some trends are opportunities, others disruptive, a challenge or threat; some turn out to be a short-lived novelty (an innovation can develop into a trend, or die out), others slow-burning, even barely noticeable but seismic and enduring over the long term. Many trends are of course outside the control of schools, but others can be taken into account in school development planning and designing effective teaching and learning. A trend may emerge in one country but not another, another may be global. B The realities of teachers There has been lately a great emphasis on teacher professionalism. It appears that many education systems have come to the conclusion that the quality of teachers is the most important factor to improve learning. This is leading to incentives for those teachers deemed to be good, to tighter recruitment of graduates, and stricter controls on the quality of teaching. Most educators nowadays agree about the effectiveness of formative assessment, that is, assessment used on a daily basis for diagnostic purposes and to dynamically adapt teaching, rather than for grading. At the same time, it has now become clear that this type of assessment requires a deep re-think of the traditional roles of teachers and students, which takes time and support. Education has always been associated with schools. However, this relationship is now under stress as new technologies move learning outside of the school walls. This trend poses challenges to the traditional role of the teacher. Some specific opportunities and risks are: educating outside school hours, more emphasis on facilitation, mentoring and guidance, increased workload, linking with families, some risks Many classes in European schools are now culturally and ethnically diverse. Teachers are becoming increasingly experienced in dealing with diversity and know how to recognise and address inclusion issues when these arise. C The realities of students There is currently a great emphasis on STEM skills, but there is also a persistent lack of interest from students (particularly girls) in these subjects and jobs compared to other disciplines and professions. Many learners feel disconnected from the reality of industry and lack real-world experience in crucial subjects. Students increasingly expect to acquire competences that make them employable in the future. These include media and ICT literacy, communication, problem solving and collaboration. Students live in worlds filled with engaging technology and opportunities to pursue personal interests and motivations. Once they enter schools they have to leave behind such interests and motivations. This creates a divide between the way “schools teach” and the way “students learn” in informal learning environments. Schools are nowadays facing a challenge trying to bridge this gap. Learning resources are increasingly available digitally. The saturation of information, and ubiquitous access to such information, are becoming a challenge for many students who don’t know how to deal with such complexity and abundance. D Technology Learning spaces (i.e. physical ones) may not change in the next few years but advances in enabling ICT means the dynamics of learning (personalisation, collaboration inside and beyond classroom) will. Learning platforms (e.g. VLEs / LMSs) will continue to play a role as management tools but advances in Web 2.0 (and Web 3.0) will challenge these technologies as traditional content delivery models. User generated content and high quality shareable resources will increasingly support teacher led and peer based learning as suitable standards emerge or are developed. Integration of interactive display technologies such as whiteboards and other multi-touch devices with other technologies e.g. net books, smart phones, learning platforms (some owned by school and some by learner) will promote collaborative learning and move it beyond ‘transmission’ and ‘instruction’. Research into the use of digital games, 3D, immersive learning environments and augmented reality have provided positive results so far. Further research is necessary, and likely to take place, which must demonstrate how the potential benefits may be brought to scale. [19]Trends Identified by Teachers and Students.European Schoolnet, 2015. VOCABULARY 1 Read the text and discuss its main idea. Discuss the following.
What is Learning? A lot of our learning occurs randomly throughout life, from new experiences, gaining information and from our perceptions, for example: reading a newspaper or watching a news broadcast, talking with a friend or colleague, chance meetings and unexpected experiences. This type of experiential learning is in contrast to more formal approaches to learning such as training, mentoring, coaching and teaching, all of which have a certain type of structure implying that they describe planned learning involving a facilitator. Teaching, training and other structured learning opportunities are activities that one person does to another, while learning is something we can only do for ourselves. If we do not have the will to learn, we will not learn and if we have learned, we are actually changed in some way. If the learning makes no difference it can have very little significance beyond being random ideas that float through our consciousness. The diagram below represents a generic learning cycle and uses the acronym PACT. The cycle is relevant to all types of learning. The PACT learning cycle stages are:
The cycle then continues and repeats. There are many examples of these processes in action - usually we learn the basics of a subject or skill before progressing to intermediate, advanced and ultimately expert levels. At each stage we build on the knowledge and experience we have already acquired, gaining further knowledge, experience or techniques and repeating the learning cycle. Working on an awareness of your own learning processes means 'learning how to learn'. For example, in university settings students are usually taught some study skills, which include learning how to seek information when needed and how to use it appropriately.
The results of academic assessment, essays, exams etc. are simply attempts to measure how much an individual has learnt but they cannot measure the actual process of learning. Learning brings about changes in the way we act, think and/or feel about ourselves, other people and the world around us. Such changes may be permanent or temporary depending on our own perceptions of the importance and relevance of the gained knowledge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A. Many attempts have been made by academics and others to map and explain the learning processes. It is generally recognised that learning takes place in a repetitive cycle, an ongoing series of processes. B. In summary, learning is an internal activity and a key personal development skill.
F. Almost every action we take is the result of past learning yet, for some people, learning still remains an activity undertaken in, or associated with, an educational context. G. Our individual learning capacity varies considerably and will depend not only on ability but also on motivation, personality, learning style and an awareness of our own learning processes. H. As babies we learn to eat, to gain attention, to crawl, to walk, etc. and as we develop into children, and our bodies become more functional, we learn an inordinate range of skills.

A PROJECT LEAD-IN International Schools Part A The peculiarity of the International Schools in the Republic of Kazakhstan is the opportunity for students to get the education combining the aspects and requirements of the national system of education and international standards. As an example, MIRAS International School offers three International Baccalaureate programmes: IB Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) IB Middle Years Programme (IB MYP), with issuance of the MYP Certificate IB Diploma Programme (IB DP), which culminates with the IB Diploma Part B The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an educational programme managed by the International Baccalaureate (IB) for students aged 3 to 12. While the programme prepares students for the IB Middle Years Programme, it is not a prerequisite for it. The subject areas of the PYP are language, social studies, mathematics, science and technology, arts, and personal, social and physical education. Students are required to learn a second language during the programme. Assessment is carried out by teachers according to strategies provided by the IB, and with respect to guidelines to what the students should learn specified in the curriculum model. Part C The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) is an educational program affiliated with the International Baccalaureate programme, intended for students aged approximately 11 to 16 (grades 6–10 in International Schools, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland and Australia). Thus, in the United States the program is often taught throughout the middle school years and the first two years of high school. Typically, middle schools and high schools work in coordination with each other when the program can not be entirely hosted within one combined school. The full program lasts 5 years although shorter programs can be adopted with permission from the International Baccalaureate. Official MYP documentation is available from the IB in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. Part D The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme ( IBDP ) is a two-year educational programme primarily aimed at students aged 16–19. The program is one that provides an internationally accepted qualification for entry into higher education, and is accepted by many universities worldwide. It was developed in the early to mid-1960s in Geneva by a group of international educators. Following a six-year pilot programme ending in 1975, a bilingual diploma was established. Administered by the International Baccalaureate (IB), the IBDP is currently taught in English, French or Spanish. In order to participate in the IBDP, students must attend an IB school. IBDP students complete assessments in six subjects from the six different subject groups (Studies in language and literature, Language acquisition, Individuals and societies, Experimental sciences, Mathematics, The arts), and complete three core requirements (Extended essay (EE), Theory of knowledge (TOK), Creativity, action, service (CAS)). Subjects are assessed using both internal and external assessments, and courses finish with an externally assessed series of examinations, usually consisting of two or three timed written examinations. Internal assessment varies by subject (there may be oral presentations, practical work, or written works) and in most cases is initially graded by the classroom teacher, whose grades are then verified or modified, as necessary, by an appointed, external moderator. [24] VOCABULARY Read the following text and complete the gaps with suitable words (A-D).

2 Read the text and say what the concept of ‘teacher education’ refers to, and what stages teacher education is often divided into. Teacher Education Teacher education refers to the policies and procedures designed to equip prospective teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school and wider community. Although ideally it should be conceived of, and organized as, a seamless continuum, teacher education is often divided into these stages:
Note also:
[34]Teacher Education. Wikipedia, 2016 Work in groups of three, read the extracts (A-C), and then share the information about what Initial Teacher Education is. Initial Teacher Education Text A: Organization In many countries, Initial Teacher Education (also known as preservice teacher training) takes place largely or exclusively in institutions of Higher Education. It may be organized according to two basic models. In the 'consecutive' model, a teacher first obtains a qualification in one or more subjects (often an undergraduate bachelor's degree), and then studies for a further period to gain an additional qualification in teaching (this may take the form of a post-baccalaureate credential or master's degree). In the alternative 'concurrent' model, a student simultaneously studies both one or more academic subjects, and the ways of teaching that subject, leading to a combined bachelor's degree and teaching credential to qualify as a teacher of that subject. Other pathways are also available. In some countries, it is possible for a person to receive training as a teacher by working in a school under the responsibility of an accredited experienced practitioner. Text B: Curriculum The question of what knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and skills teachers should possess is the subject of much debate in many cultures. This is understandable, as teachers are entrusted with the transmission to learners of society's beliefs, attitudes and deontology, as well as of information, advice and wisdom, and with facilitating learners' acquisition of the key knowledge, attitudes and behaviours that they will need to be active in society and the economy. Generally, Teacher Education curricula can be broken down into four major areas: Популярное:
