Elevating Academic Standards: Faculty Meeting Focuses on Quality Assurance and Testing

Educational quality is a continuous dialogue and a joint effort between faculty, students, and administrative services. Recently, our faculty hosted an extended meeting with members of the Academic Quality Committee, the academic staff, and representatives of the Department for Educational Process Quality Assurance.

The meeting was highly practical and engaging: experts not only highlighted current standard requirements but also thoroughly reviewed the technical tools that ensure transparency and objectivity in student assessment.

Key Topics and Speakers:

• Internal Regulatory Documents of the Academic Process: Musinova Assel, Head of the Department for Educational Process Quality Assurance, delivered a keynote presentation on “Internal Regulatory Documents on the Academic Process.” She covered key regulations, updates to the regulatory framework, and the respective responsibilities of faculty and students.

• Modern Approaches to Testing: Botaeva Assem, together with the Information Technology Department (ITD), provided a detailed overview of testing within the university's information system. Special emphasis was placed on the methodology for drafting quality test questions that genuinely test students' depth of knowledge and critical thinking rather than mere memorization.

• Digital Tools in Moodle: Krugovykh I. concluded the presentations by introducing best practices and technical nuances of creating and administering tests on the Moodle platform, answering practical questions from colleagues.

Such meetings help synchronize the faculty's efforts, enhance the digital literacy of instructors, and make the knowledge assessment process even more effective and transparent. Thank you to all speakers and participants for their productive work!
