1. Principles of the Educational Process
In organizing educational processes at the university, students’ interests are recognized as the main principle. This approach is primarily aimed at transforming the student from a passive recipient of knowledge into an active participant in the learning process. It also includes taking into account the individual abilities and needs of each student, as well as forming and encouraging independent and critical thinking. The flexibility of teaching methods provides students with the opportunity to deeply master knowledge and skills.
These principles are implemented in practice through methodological manuals developed by the departments, as well as through the practical activities of teachers, and are continuously improved.
2. Teaching Methods
Within the framework of the educational program, various modern and interactive teaching methods are widely used in order to effectively develop students’ knowledge and skills. In particular, active teaching methods such as Problem-Based Learning, project and team-based work, simulations, and case studies are applied. In addition, the integration of theoretical knowledge with practice is ensured through practical classes, internships, and field research.
The blended learning approach is also applied in the educational process, in which digital learning platforms are used — in particular, systems such as Moodle, Uniwork, and Hemis. In all forms of classes, teachers strive to ensure the active participation of each student, which contributes to the development of independent thinking and teamwork skills.
3. Studying Students’ Opinions
In improving the educational process, students’ opinions are considered an important source and are regularly studied. At the end of each semester, surveys are conducted among students, in which each subject and each teacher’s performance is evaluated separately. In addition, focus groups and open discussions are organized, and students’ opinions are analyzed.
Based on the survey results, individual recommendations are provided to teachers, and appropriate measures are determined to improve the educational process. The university administration and departments actively take students’ feedback into account, which contributes to the continuous development of education quality and a student-centered approach.
4. Student Assessment Processes
The student assessment system is based on the principles of transparency, consistency, and flexibility. The assessment process includes formative and summative (final) components. Formative assessment is carried out during classes and includes midterm assessments, mini-tests, and activities in the form of questions and answers. Final assessment is conducted at the end of the semester through final examinations or the defense of course papers (projects).
Assessment is directly linked to the student’s learning outcomes, and the assessment criteria and requirements are announced to students in advance. This approach ensures that the assessment process is fair and predictable. In addition, students have the right to submit an appeal regarding assessment results, and this procedure is established in the university’s internal regulatory documents.
5. Processes of Individual Work with Students
At the university, there is a systematic approach aimed at supporting and developing all students, taking into account their individual needs in the educational process. A scientific department operates to work with talented students, creating additional opportunities for them and encouraging their participation in various competitions and projects.
During classes, teachers take into account the different levels of students’ abilities, provide consultations based on an individual approach, and offer additional learning materials.
Special approaches have also been developed for students with disabilities, providing preferential conditions that expand their learning opportunities.
In addition, the university has support services (psychological service, registrar’s office, tutor, curator, and educators), which provide academic assistance, psychological counseling, and other necessary support. This system serves to ensure that students study in an inclusive and comfortable educational environment.
