TRANSITION FROM A TEACHER-CENTERED TO A LEARNER-CENTERED APPROACH IN KAZKHSTANIEDUCATION

Abstract

Kazakhstan is currently going through the reforming of its educational system, as time demands new teaching approaches. Teacher-centered approach that was common in the Soviet education is still present in Kazakhstani education. Yet, modern tendencies in education dictate the need to shift from teacher-centered to a learner-centered approach, which encourages student autonomy and increases their responsibility in learning.
