The article is devoted to the problem of the development of the student volunteer movement in Kazakhstan and the pedagogical conditions of the process under study. The historical prerequisites for the development of volunteerism in Kazakhstan and abroad are considered, as well as the conceptual foundations for preparing students of higher educational institutions for volunteer activities in the context of inclusive education in the process of professional training are determined. It is obvious that no society can develop effectively without the moral ideals of goodness. The factors that ensure the successful pedagogical support of the process of preparing university students for volunteer activities in the framework of inclusive education are determined. The authors identify such factors as the personal development of the future specialist, the personal-oriented activity of teachers in the process of preparing for volunteer activities, the creation of a favorable psychological climate in the process of preparing for volunteer activities. At the same time, the pedagogical conditions of the process under study are determined. The authors conclude that the effectiveness of preparing students for volunteer work depends on creating conditions that reflect all the identified factors. Analyzing the philosophical and pedagogical literature, studying the history of the formation of the volunteer movement, the authors clarify the essence of such concepts as kindness and charity, “children with special educational needs”. The authors made an attempt to systematize the accumulated experience, summarize the data obtained, and conclude that the effectiveness of preparing students for volunteer activities in an inclusive education depends on creating conditions that reflect all the identified factors.
