Kazakh universities will now offer personalized Learning Paths for undergraduate and graduate students via the Coursera platform, as announced by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education on Sept. 4. This initiative aims to enhance teacher training by providing tailored courses and projects that develop essential competencies outlined in the professional standards for educators.

Students can create customized curricula that include courses from renowned global university professors. These curricula will cover organizing the educational process, evaluating student performance, utilizing modern educational technologies and artificial intelligence, and acquiring skills to teach complex subjects, manage time, and foster student self-regulation.

The Learning Paths are designed to boost research abilities and pedagogical expertise, allowing future educators to refine educational processes. Additionally, courses on soft skills and psychological first aid, including emotional intelligence, leadership, teamwork, and stress resilience, will be available.

Universities can select from Coursera’s pre-designed paths or create their own. Upon completion, students will receive a Digital Badge featuring the university’s logo, certifying their professional skills and qualifications.
