In the modern world, universal literacy is no longer enough. Our citizens must be ready to work on the most advanced equipment and the most modern production. "

  Implementation of all the key points of the Address in the field of education and the phased implementation of the State Program for the Development of Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2011-2020. in fact determine the formation and content of the national qualified framework of levels of education. "

  Today, all levels of education are institutionally provided with a network of relevant organizations, the content and structure of higher education are brought in line with the parameters of the Bologna process. There is a three-level system of higher and postgraduate education: Bachelor's degree - the level of higher education; magistracy, doctoral studies - postgraduate level of education. The implementation of the parameters of the Bologna Process includes an integrated approach to the modernization of various components, the main one of which is a qualitative revision of educational programs focused on learning outcomes. The educational program should be based on a competency-based approach that ensures personal and professional socialization in the learning process.

  Modular training, the general provisions of which were formulated in the late 60s. XX century in the USA, emerged as an alternative to traditional teaching, integrating many progressive ideas accumulated in pedagogical theory and practice.

  Traditional forms of training in the system of technical and vocational education are focused on the data of students upon admission to an educational institution, while it is necessary to focus on learning outcomes upon graduation, i.e., on learning outcomes that increase the competitiveness and employment of graduates in the labor market.

  Today, modular training is one of the most holistic and systematic approaches to the learning process, providing a highly effective implementation of the didactic process.

  Modular learning is the organization of the educational process, in which educational information is divided into modules (complete and independent units, pieces of information). Module - a block of information that includes a logically completed unit of educational material, a targeted action program and methodological guidance that ensures the achievement of the set goals, the content and volume of which may vary depending on didactic goals, profile and level differentiation of students, students' desires for choosing an individual trajectory movement along the training course. The concept of a module contains "such a volume of educational material, thanks to which the primary acquisition of some theoretical and practical skills for performing any specific work is provided."

  Modular training is the most coherent, understandable and effective training technology that guarantees the quality of training competent specialists. Specialists trained in programs created using modular technology possess not only knowledge, but also the skills of the chosen profession and specialty: decision-making, performance of services and production work.

  The combination of modules should provide the necessary degree of flexibility and freedom in the selection and assembly of the required specific educational material for training (and independent study) of a certain category of students and the implementation of special didactic and professional goals.

  In accordance with the State Program for the Development of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2011-2020, the tasks of improving the relationship with the labor market are set; increasing the competencies of graduates; updating content, methodologies and related learning environments. Competency-based modular programs support these challenges.

  Competence-based approach: Competence is the aggregate level of knowledge, skills and professional training (competencies) acquired by the student in the learning process and for successful activities in a particular area. assignment of qualifications.

  Credit-modular system: The credit-modular system is a model of the organization of the educational process, based on the unity of modular learning technologies and ESTS credits, as units of measuring the student's workload, necessary for mastering the content modules. The credit-modular system of organizing the educational process provides for: modular structure of the educational program; the use of credit units (credits) to assess the labor intensity; the use of point-rating systems for assessing knowledge; student participation in the formation of an individual curriculum; increasing the share of self-study in the educational process; increasing the flexibility of educational programs.

  The purpose of introducing a credit-modular system is to create flexible educational structures, both in content and in the organization of training, "guaranteeing the satisfaction of the needs that are present at the moment and determining the vector of new interest."

  The main task in the credit-modular education system is the selection of new forms and methods of teaching, which allow not only to give the necessary knowledge, but to include the student in the system of continuous professional education and self-education.

  Each module of the educational program is focused on achieving a certain learning outcome, that is, competence.

  All disciplines included in the module are built according to the principle of meaningful unity.

There are various schemes for building modules:

• horizontal layout;
• vertical layout;
• combined scheme.

  In the “horizontal” module, all components of the discipline make an approximately equal and relatively independent contribution to the educational result. Disciplines are studied in parallel.

  The "vertical" module includes consistently studied disciplines aimed at achieving a certain educational result, from fundamental and general professional to specialized narrowly applied. The development and implementation of modular educational programs presupposes the presence of constant feedback with the requirements of employers to the skills and knowledge of workers, which ensures the quality of training of future specialists. The modular competency-based educational program is in line with the concept of lifelong learning, since it aims to create highly qualified specialists who are able to adapt to the changing situation in the world of work, on the one hand, and continue professional growth and education, on the other. This approach to learning allows you to create a feeling of success in each student, which creates the very organization of the educational process, within which the student can and must manage his own learning, this teaches him to take responsibility for his own learning, and in the future - for his own professional growth and career ... Thus, the consumer will be satisfied with education, he can improve it throughout his life, responding to changes in the labor market.
