NATIONAL CODE AS A BASIS FOR MODERNIZATION OF
PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
In connection with the flow of innovations, in
the sphere of politics, economics and educationessential changes have occurred
in the educational process. In order for future specialists think creatively,
set clear goals, tasks and reflect in a pragmatic manner, first of all it is
necessary to develop such qualities as competitiveness, pragmatism, know and
value the national and spiritual values of their people.
The national code of the Kazakh people contains tolerance and respect for
other religions. National traditions, language, music, literature, customs are,
in a word, the national spirit of the Kazakh people. Without preserving the
national code, there will be no spiritual revival.
The concept of "national revival" (originally
in Kazakh language – «ұëòòûқæàңғûðó»)
implies the improvement of national self-consciousness.
«It has two sides. First, it is necessary to expand
the boundaries of national self-awareness; secondly, while preserving the
national essence, to change some of its manifestations», – wrote the head of
state in his article «Course towards the future: Modernization of Kazakhstan’s
identity» is aimed at two major renewal processes: political reform and
economic modernization»[1].
The first
condition for a new type of modernization is the preservation of its culture,
its own national code. Without this, modernization isanemptyphrase [2].
Kazakhstan set
a goal to enter the world's 30th developed countries by 2050. During the years of independence, a
number of programs were implemented. In 2004, the programcalled «Cultural heritage»was realized, in 2013 «People in
the flow of history», these programs were focused on
restoring and studying the historical facts of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In
order to change the public consciousness, take a step toward meeting the
future, to become a united Nation of strong and responsible people, the head of
state announced with his message the beginning of the third modernization of
Kazakhstan.
President described preservation of culture
and own national cultural and genetic code as one of the main conditions for
modernization. The national code of the people is formed through a special
attitude to their native land, culture, language, customs, and traditions of
their people. Kazakhstan’sintegration into the world community depends on the consciousness
and realization of a simple truth: the world is open to those who can acquire
new knowledge by mastering the dominant languages. Therefore, the head of state
initiated a cultural project "Trinity of languages", which can be
fully considered one of the long-term development strategies of the country.
The implementation of this project will largely determine the formation of a
new Kazakhgeneration who speak several languages[1].
Political and economic
modernization of the process have clear goals and objectives, priorities,
methods for achieving them. The first condition for a new type of modernization
is the preservation of its culture, its own national code. In modern society,
nothing stands still, everything is changing. These innovations go to us from
the west through social media.
N. A.Nazarbayev identified
several directions of consciousness modernization as a society in general, and
for every Kazakhstani.
1 Competitiveness. We consider competitiveness of the universitystudent
as an integrative indicator of the quality of training on conditions that:
the main directions of assessing the quality of specialist training in
educational experience; the technology of interaction of the «teacher-student»
system is adequate to the purposes and tasks of evaluation; specific ways of
using a new model for assessing the quality of the training of a competitive
specialist have been developed; diagnostic methods for assessing the quality of
training are presented by two groups:
1) evaluation of professional competence on the basis of
the qualification standard;
2) evaluation of the professional competence of the
future specialist as a person[1].
In this
connection, the structure of competitiveness of a university student acquires
special significance, which in our opinion includes the following components:
-
motivational component –successmotives, personal
achievement, professional choice, professional orientation, value orientations,
emotional-volitional qualities and other social and psychological
characteristics of the individual, enthusiasm for the competitivenessformation;
- content
component – knowledge of the competitivenesscharacteristics, knowledge of the
ways of implementing the project activity, ways and methods of achieving
success, adequacy of the lifesense orientations to situations and
circumstances, maximum use of the internal reserves of the individual;
- operational component
– intellectual, creative, design (participation in design, research,
independent planning of cognitive activity, creation of own projects,
formulation of results, etc.), information and communication (search and
retrieval of necessary information, estimation reliability of information, the
ability to substantiate the judgment, the mastery of the main types of public
speeches, etc.), students’involvement in the competitive, active, creative, formative activities.
Currently, among the factors affecting the functioning
of human potential, education, and especially higher education, is one of the
leading places. The role of knowledge in the social and economic development of
society is growing rapidly. The place of higher education in public development
is determined by the significant impact on the effectiveness of the functioning
of the peopleknowledge, their experience, skills, access to training,
professional development, and improvement of professional and personal
qualities of the employee.
The problem of increasing competition in all its
diversity reflects almost all aspects of society, and therefore can not be
ignored by the education system. In consumer psychology there is a stable and
very significant deficit of knowledge and understanding of the essence of
market competition. Competition is an inalienable fact of modern life. The
literal translation of the term «competition» is a duel, encouraging the
strongest and destroying the weakest [2].
2 Pragmatism.
Pragmatism means an accurate knowledge of own national and personal resources,
its economical
expenditure, the ability to plan own future [1]. Pragmatism is an attitude to life when while making decisions, a person is
guided by the practical significance of things and actions. Pragmatists listen
first of all to their minds, not their hearts. That is why universities for the healthy pragmatism, for the new
motivation of students to creative work.
3 Preservation
of national identity. The past and the present are a single whole. There is no
past without the present and the present without the past. The memory of the
past helps people to know better their traditions, their culture, their
national values and, starting from them to go further along the path of social
progress. Memory of the past helps to preserve its national identity [2].
As known, in recent
years in the Republic of Kazakhstan clearly appearedtwo main strategies of national
and state construction and the corresponding dominant models of national
identity. The first strategy is aimed at the formation of a single Kazakh
nation from a multi-ethnic society based on a community of citizenship which
means not just a legal fixation of the fact of citizenship, but a high level of civil
self-identification of representatives of different ethnic groups. This
approach was called «civic nationalism».
Supporters
of the alternative strategy of national and state construction proceed from the
fact that the construction of a single («civil») nation in Kazakhstan is
impossible, because the ethnic self-identification of an individual will always
prevail over his identity with representatives of other ethnic groups and,
therefore, over his civil identity. This approach was called«ethnocultural
nationalism». It is concluded that the national policy of the Republic of
Kazakhstan should, firstly, proceed from the recognition of two modalities of
the nationphenomenon: ethnonational and civil nation, and, secondly, to be
guided by the presumption of the task of forming and nurturing modern general
civil consciousness [5].
To know the
past, own history, the history of its people is so important first of all in
order to build the future without past mistakes. That way, every nation must
know the history, and honor its culture.
4Cultofknowledge.
The cult of knowledge means not just the accumulation of knowledge but also the
development of abilities for self-education and self-development. This will
preserve prospects even in the most uncertain situations[3].
If the future
specialist has deep knowledge, there are great opportunities before himto
manifest himself in the chosen profession.
And also,
profound knowledge should be accompannedwith such personal qualities as charisma, communication, competence, focus,
initiative, confidence and self-discipline. Undoubtedly, the future specialist
can achieve great success possessing these personal qualities and the desire
for self-education, self-development.
5
Evolutionary, not revolutionary development of Kazakhstan.
A lot of time has passed since the
appearance of a man on the territory of Kazakhstan. The nationalities that
inhabited the territory of Kazakhstan had a long period of formation in the
process of which many tribes and peoples participated. In the history of
Kazakhstan, there are events, the memory of which should be not only historical
but also national. The Kazakh nationality is the successor of the cultural
heritage of all people who took part in its formation. The culture of Kazakhs
for many millennia has passed the path of development no less complicated and
interesting than the cultures of other people. Evolutionary development as a
principle of ideology should be one of the benchmarks on a personal, individual
level for every Kazakhstani.
Of course, the evolutionary
development of society as a principle does not mean eternal conservation, but
it is important to understand not only the lessons of history, but also
examples of the present and signals of the future.
The nature of the revolutions has
changed. It acquires a distinct national, religious, cultural or separatist
color. But in the vast majority of cases, everything ends in violence and
economic collapse.
Therefore, a serious rethinking of what
is happening in the world is part of a huge ideological work that must be
carried out by society as a whole, and political parties, movements,
and the education system [1].
Openness of consciousness. The openness of consciousness is shows how
much we are ready to change consciousness. The need to keep up with the times,
first from a fully developed specialist, is required to learn English,
knowledge of the language is necessary in order to trace information of world
significance, for the exchange of experience when it is necessary to travel to
foreign countries.
In general, the above six points are the basis
for the formation and development of the national code of students in a higher
education institution.
After reading this article, each of us should
think about his future, about the future of his country. We must not forget
that the future of the country depends on talented, comprehensively developed
generation. And also the head of the state repeatedly wrote that the purpose of the
modernization program is to enter the thirty of the world’s developed countries. Yes, in
fact, if we want to change the public consciousness, then every conscious
citizen of his state must start with himself.
