The group of educational programs B013 Biology teacher training is included in the field of education 6B01 Pedagogical sciences.

Introduction
This educational program (ЕP) "Biology" is a national educational program for teacher training, which was developed in cooperation with various Kazakhstani universities and with the involvement of international consultants. Due to the fact that this is a national educational program, descriptive texts in it do not provide specific information, but highlight general pedagogical principles and cross-cutting topics (see also Appendix 1.). More detailed descriptions, for example, methodologies and assessments will be defined in the implementation plans of universities, taking into account institutional and regional conditions. The educational program is aimed at training a qualified biology teacher who is able to use innovative technologies, including STEM, CLIL, and IT technologies in professional activities. Graduates possess pedagogical and subject competencies in the field of conceptual and theoretical knowledge, conducting scientific research and applying them in science.
The main criterion for the completion of the educational process in the preparation of bachelors is the acquisition of at least 205 credits of theoretical training, as well as at least 27 credits of practice, not 8 credits for the preparation of diplomas. Total 240 credits.
