Specifics of Consortium Development in Kazakhstan Education: Trends and Prospects

Abstract

In this article we consider the concept of consortium in pedagogy. For this purpose we have studied the concept of consortium, identified how this phenomenon is studied in the practice of foreign educational systems, in the works of analysts and practitioners. We believe that to solve the problem of enrolling in the list of the leading countries with an innovative educational system, Kazakhstan needs to rely on the developments of foreign colleagues. This determined the task of this article, which is to provide an analytical review on the problem of substantiation of the directions for further development of the educational system in the republic. We believe that in the sphere of innovative development of Kazakhstan's education, the consortium model has a certain effectiveness, which actualized the analysis of the consortium model in the mainstream of quality development management of modern education and the analysis of the possibility of implementing this model in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The investigated questions are: the concept of consortium as applied to pedagogy in researches of analysts. The insufficient development of the concept “consortium” in pedagogy in the Russian-speaking space as well as the lack of scientific development of this issue in the Kazakh modern science were revealed. The Republic of Kazakhstan strives for innovative development of the education system in order to become a leader country. The modern practice of innovative development of science and education in the developed leading countries, such as China and the United States, allow us to conclude on the significant effectiveness of the consortium model, characterized as “breakthrough”, which allows increasing the pace of development in the current environment of uncertainty and instability of traditional development models. The application of the consortium model is an opportunity on the way of development of Kazakhstan's education
