Special training sessions on the innovative approaches and models of the Finnish education system, creating a quality learning environment, and knowledge management were organized for school directors from Kazakhstan.
Professors Aija Elg and Tapio Koskinen from Aalto University in Finland and Nordic University are providing the course participants with new international knowledge and skills based on the advanced practices of Finnish school systems.
During the training, a lecture on the application of the important theoretical model SECI (Socialization, Externalization, Combination, Internalization) for knowledge management and innovation development was delivered.
The exchange of social, explicit, and tacit knowledge, its study and use, teamwork, practical exercises, and the design of new ideas were all extensively covered. The effectiveness of this model, aimed at integrating explicit knowledge and creating new knowledge, as well as developing new strategies, was explained.
The Kazakhstani education representatives also showed great interest in learning about one of the innovative approaches of the Finnish education system—the Learning Cafe principle. This approach is one of the best methods to encourage students to engage in independent learning, collaboration, and creativity.
The course emphasized the importance of teachers relying on practical knowledge in education, teaching students to apply knowledge in real-life situations, and placing a strong focus on professional development. Effective models for applying innovative methods in classrooms were taught.
Additionally, participants received significant information about the international monitoring system of education quality, including conceptual changes in the international PISA program for measuring literacy in 2025-2026.
For Kazakhstani educators, this new knowledge will serve as a foundation for improving education and achieving new milestones in the future.
