July, IMPACT OF INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS ON THE QUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION BASED ON KAZAKH ETHNOPEDAGOGY

The advancements in globalization, digitalization, and rapid technological progress have propelled humanity to a new stage of evolution. Higher education institutions are on the brink of significant transformations, necessitating universities to adapt to fresh requirements within a novel framework. Implementing education in higher educational establishments effectively mandates consideration of national educational traditions and the ethnopedagogical insights of diverse cultures. This study aims to pinpoint innovative methodologies in educational settings and propose updated criteria for their integration, aligning the outcomes with the state's needs. Given that all progressive teaching approaches prioritize learners (learner-centered), educators must adhere to the principles of ethnopedagogy. Ethnopedagogy plays a pivotal role in fostering an environment conducive to effective learning and the holistic development of students from various ethnic backgrounds. It facilitates the preservation and enhancement of ethnic identities, fostering a mindset of tolerance towards different cultures and ethnicities. Moreover, it cultivates an educational milieu where each student feels valued, embraced, and where their cultural heritage is esteemed.
