Procedure for the Selection and Recruitment of Teachers
At the university, the process of recruiting teachers is carried out on the basis of an open and transparent competition. This process предусматривает the creation of equal opportunities for applicants to vacant positions announced on the university’s official website — www.buxdu.uz. To participate in the competition, candidates submit an online application through the http://uniwork.buxdu.uz platform.
After the applications are reviewed, candidates are evaluated based on the following criteria:
· Academic degree and academic titles;
· Teaching experience;
· Level of proficiency in foreign languages and information technologies;
· Scientific and publication activity and results of professional development.
As a result of the evaluation, the candidates considered most suitable are hired based on an interview with a commission consisting of the university rector and other relevant staff members.
In order to ensure the ability to provide high-quality education, the university’s teaching staff is formed in a balanced combination of professors, associate professors, senior lecturers, and assistants. This approach serves to ensure the continuity of the educational process, its scientific level, and innovative approaches.
The majority of teachers involved in the implementation of the educational program hold academic degrees and are Doctors of Science, Doctors of Philosophy (PhD), or specialists with equivalent international academic degrees.
The professors and teachers delivering each module possess deep professional or scientific training in the relevant field, and their qualifications are considered a guarantee of achieving learning outcomes.
The program also actively involves teachers who have studied at foreign universities or gained scientific and practical experience abroad. Their international experience contributes to introducing new approaches, methods, and structural elements aligned with global standards into the educational process.
This composition of teaching staff makes it possible to form a highly qualified and experienced team that fully corresponds to the overall goals of the educational program.
Professional Development and Advanced Training
At the university, the professional development and advanced training of teachers is considered one of the important directions of the strategic development policy. Necessary conditions have been created for teachers to regularly update their knowledge and skills, and activities are carried out in the following areas:
· Annual pedagogical skills courses — training on modern teaching methodologies, assessment approaches, and student-centered education principles;
· Scientific seminars, webinars, and international conferences — providing opportunities for continuous scientific exchange and awareness of new developments;
· Academic mobility programs — gaining experience at foreign universities through international programs such as Erasmus+ and DAAD;
· Training in digital technologies — professional development in distance education and effective work with LMS systems.
The university administration not only supports professional development activities but also systematizes them as an integral part of continuous professional growth. This approach serves to enhance teachers’ competencies, improve the quality of education, and introduce advanced practices into implementation.
Evaluation of Teachers by Students
Within the framework of monitoring the quality of education, a system for evaluating teaching quality and identifying shortcomings by students has been introduced at the university. At the end of each semester, students complete anonymous questionnaires. Through these questionnaires, the quality of teaching and the pedagogical approach of the instructor are assessed based on several criteria:
· Clear and understandable delivery of course material;
· The teacher’s communication culture and culture of interaction with students;
· Fairness and accuracy in the assessment process;
· Encouraging and motivating students’ active participation in the learning process.
The collected data are analyzed at the faculty level. Based on the results, when necessary, individual recommendations are provided to teachers or a plan for improving professional activity is developed. This mechanism is considered an effective tool for enhancing the quality of education and pedagogical mastery.
Human Resources Development Strategy
In ensuring the quality of education and the sustainability of the program, the university pays special attention to the continuous development and stability of the teaching staff. For this purpose, a number of strategic approaches are being implemented:
· Incentive system – encouraging teachers through obtaining academic titles and degrees, participation in internal and external grants, and awarding material rewards;
· Support in obtaining academic degrees – providing financial and methodological assistance for studies in doctoral and PhD programs;
· Training young specialists and forming an internal personnel reserve – shaping the future teaching staff through targeted work with promising youth, experience exchange, and the use of mentorship.
These approaches serve to continuously improve teachers’ qualifications, strengthen their motivation, and ensure the sustainability of program quality.
