On April 24, 2026, an open class on the discipline “Labor Market Economics” was held at the university, conducted by Kuralay Kadirku lovna. A total of 53 students from the educational programs “IITE,” “Marketing,” and “Tourism” participated in the session.

The open class became a vivid example of integrating innovative approaches into the educational process. By combining modern pedagogical methods with digital technologies, the session demonstrated a shift from traditional teaching to an interactive, research-based learning model.

During the class, the instructor acted not only as a source of knowledge but as a mentor, fostering students’ analytical and research skills. Artificial intelligence tools such as NotebookLM and Gemini were actively used, enabling students to independently analyze information and draw conclusions.

The session effectively combined theory and practice. Global labor market trends were discussed alongside real case studies from the domestic market, allowing students to see how theoretical concepts are applied in real-life contexts.

A strong emphasis was placed on critical thinking through the Socratic method. The focus was not on finding the “correct answer” but on developing the “correct way of thinking,” encouraging students to analyze and justify their viewpoints.

Context-based learning was applied by adapting global content to the local realities of Kazakhstan, helping students develop the ability to “think globally, act locally.”

The class was also future-oriented, focusing on developing key competencies such as data literacy and self-learning skills, which are essential in today’s rapidly evolving labor market.

The open class demonstrated a high level of methodological excellence and marked an important step toward improving the quality of education and training competitive professionals for the future.
