Academic Mobility at KSPI
Kazakhstan's participation in the Bologna process shows the changes taking place in higher education, willing to meet the requirements of international level. Joining in 2010 to the Bologna Declaration has allowed our state to become a full member of the European Higher Education Area.
By signing the Great Charter of Universities in Bologna in 2008, Kostanai State Pedagogical Institute joined to a huge number of higher educational institutions in the world, which, according to indicated in the Magna Carta principles are centers of scientific, cultural and technological development of society through knowledge and research.
Credit education technology serving at KSPI unifies the system of knowledge evaluation of students in accordance with the European requirements. What it gives us? First of all, the opportunity to compare the curricula in higher education institutions and to consider the possibility for the student to receive an education in more than one high school, and in a number of universities, where training is conducted in related specialties. That means, being a student of the pedagogical institute, you cannot get an education for a semester or a whole academic year at a technical higher educational institution - the difference in the curriculum would be too great. However, to study at the humanitarian higher educational institution in another city or even another country - it is quite real.
According to the principle of students’ mobility between institutions considering the provisions of the Bologna process and Taraz declaration is provided an admission of students to study at the university of another country without taking intermediate or additional examinations.
Questions and answers
According to the Order of the Minister of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 30.12.2011 №549 [3], the five best students of Kostanai State Pedagogical Institute from September 1, 2012 were taught at the University of Via Domitia in Perpignan (France) and 2 students at the University of West Virginia (United States of America). Students have a unique opportunity not only to learn from leading professors of these universities, they “from the inside" studied features of the system of higher education, overall quality of their own training and compared the level of teaching in native and foreign institute. Stay in a foreign country, of course, helped to acquire additional knowledge of the country.

Faculties and Departments of the Institute have always paid much attention to improving the quality of training. Much is being done today to update and improve the learning process of students and undergraduates. On a number of departments provides a two-stage structure of education (bachelor - master).

How do we teach?
It is believed that the institute is made to gain knowledge, but this statement is only partly true! In today's world of information technology knowledge itself is always available to any person of average readiness to learn. Often you can see the picture when the superbly educated young man does not show himself in the workplace. Therefore, the whole world is talking now not about knowledge and skills, but about competencies - that means motivated by professional abilities to effectively solve professional problems.
However, to implement this just knowledge is not enough, though, it is certainly the foundation. Such qualities as professional mobility, active social position, responsibility and so much more are also important, each specialty has its own set of qualities that would qualify the successful specialist. Our Institute has a rating system of achievement assessment: the level of training of students is estimated to hundred-scale.
