Abstract

The goal of this study is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the master’s degree programs at the Faculty of Philosophy and Political Science of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University from the perspective of the competency-based approach. The study involves a targeted sample of 120 participants directly involved in the implementation and evaluation of scientific and pedagogical master’s programs: 70 master’s students, 20 teachers, 20 graduates, and 10 employers. The study employs a mixed-method approach, including surveys of master’s degree students, faculty members, graduates, and employers, as well as qualitative analysis of interviews with participants. Course relevance received the highest rating. Faculty members positively evaluate the alignment of the programs with the competency-based approach. Graduates emphasize the applicability of their knowledge, while employers express satisfaction with the graduates’ level of preparation. Kruskal–Wallis test analysis does not reveal statistically significant differences between groups for most indicators, confirming a consistent perception of educational quality. The interviews reveal a generally positive attitude toward the programs but highlighted several shortcomings, such as uneven competency development, insufficient practical focus, and limited engagement with the professional environment. The novelty of the work lies in the comprehensive empirical evaluation of master’s programs based on a competency-based approach from the perspectives of students, teachers, graduates, and employers. The practical significance of the findings lies in justifying the need for stronger integration of theory and practice, greater transparency in competency assessment, and expanded collaboration with employers to enhance the quality of master’s degree training.

Abstract

This study offers a comprehensive pedagogical analysis of Saken Zhunusov’s Amanai and Zamanai, demonstrating that the novella functions as a multilayered educational text suitable for literature, cultural studies, teacher education, and psychology-of-literature curricula in higher education. Using qualitative content analysis, the study identifies six interrelated thematic domains; moral education, cultural learning, developmental psychology, folklore pedagogy, narrative methodology, and emotional literacy, through which the novel teaches readers to interpret emotional, ethical, and cultural meanings embedded in the narrative. The data consisted of the full text of Saken Zhunusov’s Amanai and Zamanai, analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Findings reveal that the text models moral dilemmas, cultivates empathy, preserves Kazakh cultural knowledge, exposes structural inequalities, and illustrates childhood cognition and trauma through symbolic and myth-infused storytelling. The study connects these themes to established theoretical perspectives including Vygotsky’s symbolic mediation, Bruner’s narrative cognition, Rosenblatt’s reader–response theory, and cultural-historical views of oral tradition. By developing a detailed codebook and pedagogical framework, the research provides a replicable model for analyzing culturally embedded literature and demonstrates the relevance of Amanai and Zamanai to contemporary Kazakh social issues such as poverty, gendered burden, and generational trauma. The study concludes that the novel offers rich opportunities for interdisciplinary teaching and contributes significantly to the integration of Kazakh literature into modern higher education pedagogy.
