METHODOLOGICAL GUIDELINESExperimental technical and vocational education

“Kasipkor” Holding together with the international strategic partner SAIT Polytechnic (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Canada) - taking into consideration the analysis of oil and gas companies needs - worked out innovative programs for “Oil-and-Gas Industry and Petroleum Chemistry” in order to prepare a new generation of skilled workers for the oil and gas sector in Kazakhstan

SAIT Polytechnic is recognized to be one of the world’s leaders in education and training for oil and gas field, that’s why their accredited and validated programs are used as basis for training skilled workers in the oil and gas industry to fit the international standards.

Kasipkor Holding and SAIT Polytechnic came to an agreement of creating joint diploma programs. It means that all the syllabuses and working programs, teaching techniques and students’ knowledge assessment shall receive a prior consent, the results in college-partner shall be recognized by both partners, management structure shall be shared, English shall be taken as the teaching language.

Experimental education involves vocational training and educational training. Vocational training graduate shall get a certificate of a skilled worker, and educational training graduate shall get a diploma.

Vocational training lasts 1 year 10 months, educational – 2 years 10 months.In accordance with the structure of innovative programs of each specialty,

the list of subjects is represented as modules and divided into such cycles as Humanities, General Professional and Special disciplines.

The cycles of Humanities and General Professional disciplines are focused on foundation program (1 course), and cycle of Special disciplines is focused on technical program (2nd-3d course).

Humanities Module provides basic training, including the English language study and preparation for IELTS 6,5. As English is the teaching language, mastery of it is provided by the "immersion" method to the level sufficient for the successful study of special subjects. Excellent English and knowledge of specialized technical terms are an essential requirement for certification in accordance with the international standards.

The English language is to be studied within 640 hours of the first two terms. The learning process of the program is divided into eight-week cycles, and focused on the study of conversational and technical English.

The General Professional disciplines (mathematics, physics and chemistry) within the Foundation program are to be studied within 640 hours. The learning process of these subjects is divided into eight-week cycles with a predominance of practical training. These disciplines are considered applied and focused on the development of specialized disciplines specialty.

Foundation Program includes "Introduction to oil and gas business" discipline . As part of this course, students learn the basics of oil and gas business, the basic concepts in the areas of oil and gas operations (Upstream, Midstream,

330

Downstream), and service of oil and gas properties (mechanical, electrical, instrumentation).

The technical program contains a module of specialized disciplines, oil and gas facilities operating, oil exploration and production, well drilling and injection, maintenance and repair of oil and gas facilities, mechanical and electrical engineering. The program lasts for four terms.

The intermediate and final examinations of each program are to be conducted in the end of the term (Foundation, Technical Program).

Innovative programs are implemented according to "alternate" scheme of training, involving alternation of industrial training and classes. The part of industrial training for qualifications on the basis of certificate is not less than 70%, and on the basis of diploma is not less than 50%. Industrial training is organized in the form of the practical work in the facilities, or in shops, workshops, laboratories, colleges with the equipment, which is similar to real working environment, and meets the requirements of international colleges. Thus, the work experience of the students can be formed not only during the period of industrial training in the enterprise, but also due to technical training in the workshop or college laboratory.

Colleges can identify other forms of training (dual, "apprenticeship", etc.) that meet the principle of "alternate" training, i.e. a combination of theoretical and practical training.

Innovative programs are focused on obtaining relevant professional competencies of skilled workers and professionals with the main priorities of the industrial-innovative development of Kazakhstan's oil and gas industry, and agreed with the relevant customers - employers.

While studying the discipline modules the student must master work experience (acquire skills to perform labor activities) and acquire knowledge in order to master the professional activities and appropriate professional competencies indicated in the structure.

It should be noted that the list of projected competencies is extremely realistic as it is connected with the system of discipline modules, with specific types of training activities required for education technologies and with the system of appropriate assessment tools.

The special features of the innovative programs are the practical component and provision of sufficient autonomy to colleges in terms of substantive content of the program in the development of work programs.

As a whole, labor content indicators of the innovative programs and labor content of discipline cycles are provided in academic hours and credits. Innovative programs are recommended when:

types of classes are lectures; seminars; research seminars; workshops; laboratory works; counseling; self-study; self-study under guidance of the instructor; practices; preparation of the project; student teams; debating society;

types of learning activities are lectures attendance; classes; case studies in laboratories, workshops, shops; working out of course papers; working out of technical and laboratory skills; preparation of reports; reading of educational materials; preparation of thesis; training of constructive criticism of the work done

331

by others; involvement in monitoring and assessing activities; group discussions; computer presentations;

types of assessment are oral exams; written exams; written lab exams; oral presentations; testing; reports; tests; course projects; the current assessment.

The innovative program implementation requires a modern material and technical basis for practical implementation of the proposed work, and the availability of teaching staff of appropriate qualification level.

Content correlation of the innovative programs will be carried out according to the results of their adaptation on the basis of interregional occupational Atyrau center for training and retraining.
