As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
From Stage Performances to TEDx: How Abai’s Ideas Inspire Students
More than 30 participants from 8 university teams representing Astana, Almaty, Semey, Karaganda, and Petropavl gathered for the V Republican Olympiad for students of pedagogical specialties, “Abai’s Legacy in 21st Century Pedagogy.”
Last year, the team from Kozybayev University became the winner of this olympiad held in Ust-Kamenogorsk, which gave our university the opportunity to host this year’s creative and intellectual competition. According to the rules, however, the host university’s team competed вне конкурса this time.
The olympiad was dedicated to the great Kazakh poet, thinker, and mentor Abai Kunanbayev. His legacy is multifaceted and inexhaustible, a sacred treasure of the Kazakh people. No matter how much is said or written about Abai, his works and ideas will continue to inspire new generations of researchers and young people for years to come.
This year’s competition brought together knowledge, art, and creative exploration. It consisted of two stages. In the first stage, participants presented short theatrical performances based on historical, literary, or real-life situations that reflected Abai’s pedagogical ideas.
The second round, “The Teaching of ‘Tolyk Adam’ as a Model of the Modern Educator,” required participants to deliver concise and meaningful presentations in a TEDx format, exploring this concept.
According to the results, the winner of the olympiad was the team from Shakarim University, which confidently completed all stages of the competition, demonstrated the highest level of skill, originality, and professionalism, and was awarded a prize of 200,000 tenge.
Congratulations!
