Abstract

In order to join the top 30 developed countries by 2050, Kazakhstan has embarked on implementing several reforms aimed at modernizing the education sector. One of these reforms is the implementation of an updated educational curriculum program, which has empowered students’ role within the learning process and the pedagogical approaches adopted by educators. Consequently, students now play an important role in constructing their own knowledge in the classroom. Despite the implementation of this reform, there remains a necessity for a standardized lesson observation protocol. Such an observation tool can ascertain the degree of reform implementation, discern their potentialities, and ensure that classroom activities align with the objectives of these reforms. Therefore, in order to effectively organize students ' learning, the Kazakhstani Teaching Observation Protocol (KTOP) was developed to improve the teaching practices. This version of the lesson Observation  tool (KTOP) was prepared by investigators in the areas of "Inclusive Education", "Digital Education", "STEM education", "Chemistry and mathematics", "Computer programming", "Trilingualism and Linguistics". To validate the contextual alignment of this prepared version of KTOP within the Kazakhstani education system, the researchers tested the ktop tool using a lesson observation and interviews with teachers. This tool was trialed in 5 higher education institutions and 10 secondary schools covering 175 lessons in total . As a result, a refined Kazakhstani Teaching Observation Protocol (KTOP)  is presented which is aligned with the updated educational curriculum program.
