New Concepts of Teaching Subject Knowledge and the Need for Their Consideration in the Content of Textbooks

Abstract

The research featured the new social requirements for subject teachers, as well as the legal basis for the changes that have occurred in the education system of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The study focused on the current situation in Kyrgyz schools and universities, the development of new teaching technologies, and the new educational literature. The education system of Kyrgyzstan includes two large concepts. One of them is updating the content of subject knowledge corresponding to the required competencies. The second concept is the individualization of subject knowledge. These concepts are important in the framework of the Law of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan "On the Manas Epic" adopted in 2011. Previously, the content of education was based on the level of requirements for the young generation and was determined by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic that developed curricula for all educational institutions. However, subject teachers have to change their materials, taking into account the social and intellectual interests of the individual. The article introduces priority tasks that create the necessary conditions for the development of learners' personality. This goal was financed by the state budget in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The author believes that the new credit technology is to be adopted with caution, and that the Kyrgyz educational system can use some educational technologies tested in Russia, e.g. critical thinking development; developmental education; health saving technologies; problem learning; gaming; workshop technology; case method; integrated learning in class, etc. Subject teachers are responsible for updating the educational literature in connection with the new requirements.
