Abstract

Under the conditions of constantly changing educational paradigm, Kazakhstan's education is undergoing a process of change aimed at renewing the education system. Taking into account the principles of active learning, cooperation, differentiated approach to learning, interdisciplinary integration and the use of information and communication technologies, Kazakhstan strives to develop in school students the necessary skills and competencies for successful adaptation in the 21st century. Students who regularly plan, monitor and assess their learning demonstrate high academic achievement. While these skills are valuable for effective teaching, they are rarely taught. Moreover, educators rarely receive professional development in the area of metacognitive ability development in the context of renewed education. This comparative study investigated the impact of psycho-pedagogical support for teacher training in developing students' metacognitive abilities based on professional development courses conducted using the author's program among a group of educators. As a result of the training, both groups reported increased awareness of learners' learning needs and awareness of themselves as learners. The benefits of metacognitive abilities and metacognitive skills for learners are known; we hypothesize that the impact on educators and its implications for their teaching practice may also be significant.
