https://doi.org/10.47649/vau.24.v75.i4.10

Abstract

This study explores the practice of training primary educators in Singapore, which is recognized as one of the most effective in the world. The research presented is qualitative. It examines key aspects of the educational programs of the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore aimed at developing educators of the future. The results of the study indicate that the educational programs studied emphasize the development of competencies in three areas: professional practice, personal growth, and leadership. There is also an emphasis on the integration of theoretical and practical training; the application of innovative pedagogical technologies; and different types of professional practice, including digital portfolio, clinical practice, Singaporean teaching practice, and traditional teaching practice. Another priority is the cultivation of character and citizenship through participation in community and educational projects, and the development of critical thinking in students. The findings of the study confirm that the Singapore model of teacher education successfully prepares professionals who can adapt to the changing conditions of the educational environment and inspire students to achieve. The application of Singaporean practice in Kazakhstan can help improve the quality of teacher education and prepare teachers for modern life in the future.
