Refresher courses in Turkmenistan delivered by Naberezhnye Chelny State Pedagogical University are over

In Ashgabad, the National Institute of Education hosted the closing ceremony
during which the participants (Turkmen teachers) were given their certificates of
advanced training. Today, the professors of Naberezhnye Chelny State Pedagogical
University headed home.
NCSPU delegation included: Gulchachak Ganieva, Marina Gumerova, Gulnara
Khakimova, Konstantin Kalinin, Rezida Khusnutdinova and Guzeliya
Akhkiyamova. NCSPU professors were the speakers at the refresher courses for
Turkmen teachers. Every day, beginning from November 18th, the professors
started their work at the National Institute of Education of Turkmenistan and at the
only institute that works in the area of linguistics – Turkmen National Institute of
World Languages named after Dovletmammet Azadi. More than 300 Turkmen
teachers, kindergarten teachers and professors attended the courses given by the
professors from Naberezhnye Chelny.
The Turkmen educators learnt modern teaching technologies. The topics included:
a lesson’s design for a math teacher, the tools aimed at evaluating the educational
results at the computer science lessons, an integrated lesson of Russian and
literature with the use of digital technologies, the use of technologies for building
reading literacy at a primary school, the educational results at the chemistry and
biology lessons.
NCSPU professors also gave classes at the Joint Turkmen-Russian secondary
school named after A.Pushkin. They met with the representatives of
Rossotrudnichestvo in Turkmenistan. Konstantin Kalinin, PhD in Philology, Head
of the Department of Russian and Tatar Philology, noted that the meeting they had
with Marina Passyuk, the author of the Russian textbook, was significant.
“We discussed the cooperation plan relating to holding the Olympiads; we
highlighted that we are going to take into account the programs of the educational
establishments of Turkmenistan. This work promises to be fruitful for all
participants of the project. I should add that we found time to visit the National
Museum of History and Ethnography of Turkmenistan; we got familiar with the
history, flora and fauna of the country, with their national dresses and their way of
life. In a word, we are coming home with communication experience with foreign
colleagues and we hope that the courses were useful and effective,” stated our
professors.
