Scientific school of professor N.A. Asipova

"Multicultural education and upbringing in Kyrgyzstan" Asipova Nurbubu Asanalievna is the head of a recognized and widely known scientific school in the country, whose activities are aimed at developing the theory and practice of multicultural education and the formation of intercultural communications of modern youth.

The fundamental nature of the research conducted by N.A. Asipova lies in the fact that, back in Soviet times, in contrast to the established views on internationalism as a class category, she was one of the first to put forward the idea of considering internationalism as a moral category extending to the relationships of people in everyday life and substantiated the scientific and theoretical foundations for the formation of a culture of interethnic communication among schoolchildren (1980).

The research conducted by Professor N.A. Asipova and her students on the problem of formation of intercultural communications and multicultural education meets the socio-cultural characteristics and needs of the Kyrgyz Republic, where representatives of more than 80 nationalities live. The solution to the problems of formation of intercultural communications serves as a scientific and practical contribution to ensuring moral and psychological stability in society, in harmonizing national and cultural relations of citizens of a multinational society in the context of globalization, in preparing students to be able to live in a modern multicultural space.

Professor N. A. Asipova has been working at KNU named after J. Balasagyn since 1971, for more than 15 years she was the head of the Department of Higher Education Pedagogy. During this time, she created a well-known scientific school that has trained 3 doctors and 28 candidates of pedagogical sciences, whose works explore various aspects of humanistic education and personality-oriented education, new paradigms in the study of pedagogical problems, training of new teachers and modernization of education that meet modern technological challenges. At all stages of development, the scientific school of N. A. Asipova carries out its activities in close cooperation with educational institutions, teachers, and education authorities.

The main problem that is being developed by the scientific school. Since the early 90s, the research of the scientific school has been devoted to methodological justifications and theoretical modeling, as well as practical modernization of education that meets the development trends of a democratic society, namely, personality-oriented education, cultural, and competence-based approaches to educating citizens of a multinational state.

The results of scientific research are reflected in 250 scientific and methodological works of N.A. Asipova, personal and collective monographs and textbooks created under the supervision of the scientist, such as: Scientific and theoretical foundations of the formation of interethnic culture of schoolchildren (1994); Social development (2004); Bilim filosofiyasy zhana taryhy (2010); Intercultural communications and multicultural education (2015); Actual problems of upbringing and education of student youth (2016); Zamanbap bilim beruu paradigmalary (2019); Kop madaniyattuu bilim beruu (2022); Pedagogical psychology (2023); Okutuu zhana Onuguu (2024) and others in 8 sections of various textbooks and teaching aids, more than 80 articles in the RSCI, 15 articles in SCOPUS publications, has a Hirsch Index of 3.

A brief history of the formation of the scientific school

The existence of the Kyrgyz scientific school of teachers and methodologists-naturalists is currently a generally recognized and indisputable fact. This school was created under the leadership of Professor Esenbek Mambetakunov. He, possessing scientific research and organizational talent, enormous capacity for work, a heightened sense of the new, the ability to scientific foresight, special human qualities, is the creator of the Kyrgyz scientific school of methodologists-physicists, chemists, biologists, and also teachers of professional education.

The conditions and prerequisites for the formation and development of the scientific and methodological school were:

The emergence of a scientist and teacher in the person of Esenbek Mambetakunov, who underwent special theoretical and practical training in graduate school in the methodology of teaching physics at the Kyrgyz Research Institute of Pedagogy and the Chelyabinsk State Pedagogical Institute (Department of Theory and Methods of Teaching Physics, headed by Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Russian Academy of Education, Cavalier of the Order of Lenin Antonina Vasilyevna Usova), who has practical experience in school, technical school and university; who has experience in communicating with people of different generations and social backgrounds; who wants to make a significant contribution to the development of education in our country; a goal-oriented person; a talented researcher and organizer of scientific activities of others.

The presence in schools and universities of the republic of experienced teachers, lecturers who have an interest in improving the pedagogical process, teaching subjects in the natural sciences, and a penchant for research activities.

The emergence of students of Professor Esenbek Mambetakunov who began to develop new problems not only in the field of physics methodology, but also in general and professional pedagogy, as well as psychodidactics of natural science education.

The presence of a permanent scientific dialogue between researchers from universities in different countries (Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Moldova, Azerbaijan, etc.).

Demand for the practice of teaching and education of the results of fundamental and applied scientific and technological research.

The existence of support for research conducted by teachers, lecturers, postgraduate students, and applicants from the heads of educational and scientific organizations and the Ministry of Education and Science.

Organization of scientific and methodological seminars and the Republican conference on the problem of “Current problems of teaching natural and mathematical disciplines in schools and universities” at the Faculty of Physics of the Kyrgyz National University named after J. Balasagyn (since 1999), as well as support for physics methodologists such as professors M.K. Koichumanov, D.B. Babaev, M. Dzhoraev, T.M. Siyaev, N.O. Maatkerimov and others.

The stage of formation of the Kyrgyz school of physics methodologists refers to the period of the 70-90s of the twentieth century, when M. Nurakunov, M.K. Koichumanov, E. Mambetakunov, N.O. Maatkerimov, A.N. Gudimova, D.B. Babayev, B. Allakhunov, S. Samudinov, M. Papiev and others defended their candidate dissertations. After the nineties, doctoral dissertations on the methodology of teaching physics appeared by E. Mambetakunov, D. Babaev, M. Dzhoraev and others.

The establishment of the Department of Methods of Teaching Physics (1979), now the Department of Technology of Teaching Physics and Natural Science, at the Kyrgyz National University was of decisive importance for the formation of the scientific school. Since 1990, the department has been offering master's, postgraduate and doctoral programs in the specialty 13.00.02 - Theory and Methods of Teaching and Education (Physics). Over these years, the department has trained 110 masters, 25 candidates, 11 doctors of science. This confirms the formation and full functioning of the scientific and educational school, developing pressing problems of general pedagogy, theory of teaching and education, theory and practice of primary and higher vocational education, pedagogical psychology, theory and methods of teaching not only physics, but also other subjects of the natural science cycle (chemistry, biology, natural science, etc.). Therefore, the scientific school is called "Psychodidactics of Natural Science Education". This fact was officially confirmed by the relevant decisions: the decision of the Academic Council of the Faculty of Physics and Electronics of the Kyrgyz National University named after J. Balasagyn (minutes No. 6 dated 30.04.2015); the decision of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (minutes No. 527 dated 3 August 2015) awarded E. Mambetakunov the Honorary Title of Founder of the Scientific School "Psychodidactics of Natural Science Education"; the decision of the Presidium of the International Academy of Sciences of Pedagogical Education of the Russian Federation (minutes No. 7 dated 29 September 2015) awarded him the Honorary Title of Founder of the Scientific School "Scientific and Methodological Foundations of Teaching Physics at School and Improving the Methodological Training of Teaching Staff".

The work of the scientific school was officially approved by the decision of the Academic Council of the Kyrgyz National University named after J. Balasagyn (minutes No. 8.8 dated 10.05.2022).

The scientific school consists of 18 doctors and 31 candidates in the theory and methods of teaching natural sciences.
