FORMATION OF AGRARIAN RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

 

In a condition of continuous modernization of country’s professional high education as well as establishment of national research universities, national universities and research universities, strategy of development steps out to new plan. The achievement of status of research university is high goal which requires significant expenditure of time, energy and finance [1].

The classic universities and institutes considered as a source of knowledge and skills. Today, in a period of education integration, practice of leading countries shows that the main role in innovative development of country belongs to the research universities. Research university represents a research and education complex with developed innovative infrastructure (training base, laboratories, research institutes, design department, business incubator, science and technology park, research project organizations) carrying out full cycle of innovative activities which lets to have income and realize the trainings of specialists with innovative business skills [2]. Research university can independently produce modular education programs, create a business structures with attraction of talented young scientists and students, positively impact the design department and open offices for commercialization of scientific products.

It is known that at the moment the research university within the process of education and science integration acts as “modern form of education, science and innovative production integration, characteristics of which is generation of knowledge and carriage of wide range of research; effective training system and retraining of personnel for High Tech economic sectors; high degree of science and education integration; - International approve of scientific and educational activities; effective system of commercialization of scientific results; presence of innovative area; interdisciplinary study and research [3]. Gnevasheva V. gives the statement about it in which she identifies the research university as modern form of education and science integration well recommended in foreign countries. The main functions of research university is the production, accumulation, storage, delivery and distribution of knowledge. This function was laid and started from the first Kazakh universities. The model of research university is building on interaction of 3 main components: education, research and innovation. In the modern model of university appears 3rd function – “torrent” of delivery of information to society or “knowledge transfer”[4].

The goal of activities of research universities as main source of very valuable products is intelligence – effective functioning in territory of scientific education establishment as national center of education, science and culture where the training of highly qualified personnel organically fits with modern scientific research and carried out within systematically administered totality of integrated innovative study complexes created on basis of scientific pedagogical schools.

The task of the research university is organization of relationships and realization in one physical space in interactive regime of education processes, scientific activities and commercialization of their results.

Due to that it is necessary to review the change of university to the research type. On a basis of comparative analysis on methodological approach to the evaluation of the results of research activities in universities of different countries made by the M. Larionova, she come with recommendation shown on Table 1 with following indication system.
