Studying the history of education in the works of Soviet researchers in Kazakhstan

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the history of development of native school education in the works of  Soviet scientists in Kazakhstan. The authors analyzed the works of leading researchers of the Soviet period,  among them A. Sembaev, H. Bisenov, R. Balgozin, Zh. Utebalin, A. Baitursynov, R. Suleimenov, V. Ermakov, L. Zak, S. Tastanov. Historical sources containing archival and statistical data were worked out. The main advantages and disadvantages of Soviet research on the development of school education in the conditions of severe political and ideological pressure were identified. In particular, given the specificity of nomadic and semi-nomadic way of life and the transition to a settled, the scientists noted the importance of  implementing primary and secondary education in rural areas was reflected the enormity of the realization of  the objectives of education in the country. Data on the number of teachers in Kazakhstan were also provided  as confirmation. Although the authors conclude that the educational, gender, age, social and party structure of the teaching staff of Kazakhstan in different periods of socio-economic development of the country requires a detailed consideration. Some of the ideas of the alashordyns may seem very relevant to modern teachers, in
particular, on the issues of language training and autonomy of schools. The researchers note that to a lesser extent, researchers were attracted to the content and methods of education and upbringing. The educational  process was also considered mainly from the outside, and this consideration was often formal.  The predominance of historical-party orientation of research has led to the fact that the policy of the Central party bodies, the activities of local party organizations in historical works was the main factor in the
development of the education system, which had a decisive impact on its effectiveness and results. национальная политика
