ECTS requirements: initial steps
As noted above, the first steps are being taken to abandon the negative aspects of the traditional teaching system and to organize work within the framework of the requirements of international standards. At present, work on the transition to the credit-module system in 33 higher educational institutions of our country is carried out intensively. All forces are mobilizing to create this system.
An example of this is the fact that the El-yurt umidi Foundation regularly organizes seminars by compatriots engaged in scientific research and pedagogical activity in foreign higher education institutions, who know exactly the credit-module system closely. in addition, 10 higher education institutions have been integrated into self-financing as expert advisors from one of the members of the International Expert Council under the foundation “El-yurt hope”.
In order to carry out these processes in full, relevant departments are also established in the higher educational institution.
In particular, the Department of management of the credit system of Education is functioning at Tashkent State University of Economics. Work on the implementation of full transformation of all educational directions and specialties from the 2020/2021 academic year into the ECTS credit-module system has been started by this department.
Have the transformation processes started?
According to preliminary calculations, in The Bachelor’s degree at the University, 15 weeks of study in one semester and 6 weeks for attestation (in one semester 3 weeks are allocated for examinations) are allocated. In this way, the number of study weeks in 4 years is more than 144, the attestation is 24 weeks, and the total number of 204 weeks with total vacations. All directions of education and specialties are reflected in the curriculum at each stage in two parts, that is, in the main and elective subjects. Based on the ECTS requirement, it is planned to upload to the student the obligation to collect a total of 60 credits in 4 years out of 240 credits each year. Then the student will have to spend 2880 hours, 4320 hours for Independent Education, 7200 hours for participation in lectures, practical and laboratory classes and examination processes for 4 years.
In our example, 1 credit = 12 academic hours + 18 hours is an independent education. Therefore, 1 credit is considered equal to 30 hours, and the student’s weekly audience load is equal to 20 hours. The amount of credit allocated for qualification practice is envisaged to be credited to the account of the relevant science or subjects.
What changes will happen if the new system is switched on?
The introduction of this system into higher education creates the basis for increasing the quality of education, ensuring transparency, eradicating corruption, revealing the true knowledge of the educational recipient, and the independent study and work of the student on its own. To date, the European credit system has been introduced into practice in almost all higher educational institutions of the dilapidated continent.
The introduction of credit module system is an important factor in the collaborative performance of the teacher and student. In modular education, the educator organizes, manages, advises, examines the process of mastering the listener. And the student moves independently towards the oriented subject. The greatest emphasis will also be on the Independent Education of students.
In the educational process, the importance of independent education increases, which in the future leads to an increase in the independence, creative initiative and activity of specialists. In the credit-module system, university students will always be able to get help and advice from teachers and fellow students. This strengthens mutual solidarity and serves to shape the skills of working in a team.
The transition to the credit-module teaching system increases both the obligation and demand for the professors and teachers of the higher educational institution. As already mentioned above, with a modular training system, the teacher performs not only the functions of providing and controlling information, but also the functions of a consultant and a coordinator. The leading role of the teacher in the pedagogical process is maintained.
Another sentence. The credit system of education increases the exchange of students. Because the loans received in one university are taken into account in the other and students can move from one university to another without losing credit. This system provides an opportunity for students of Uzbekistan to continue their studies in advanced foreign universities and to remove complex bureaucratic obstacles.
But it should also be noted that it is important not to forget that direct implementation of any international experience blindly, without taking into account our own values, can not be carried out without a deep analysis of each of its elements, relying on scientific grounds, in the future there will be certain negative phenomena.
That is, it does not mean that this system fully corresponds to our worldview, conditions, values aimed at bringing a harmonious person to adulthood. Therefore, it is necessary for us to change the views of both the professor-teacher and the student, which are considered active elements of the educational process, to integrate the requirements of this system into them, to form a specific culture.
After all, we must feel that it is inevitable for us to lose our place, position in the competition, unless we prepare personnel in accordance with the demand of the labor market. But before us there is neither a better way nor a choice. Speaking about why, higher education institutions of all developed countries are walking this path and achieving high results.
Since our traditional higher education system is not recognized in the world, we are obliged to apply advanced standards and systems to higher education institutions. Therefore, the pursuit of innovation, the continuation of the actions that have begun to radically reform the higher education system, is the right decision in all respects.
At the end of our speech, it is appropriate to recall the following Misr, which was noted by Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur, the zabardist representative of Uzbek classical literature, that science should not be built on its own, that a person should possess it only with great enthusiasm and strong enthusiasm:
Who needs the Taliban knowledge of yor anga knowledge,
The learned knowledge needs the Taliban knowledge.
I do talibi Ilmu talibi ilme,
I need knowledge from the Taliban to the knowledge I have.
