Training Session for First-Year Students

Specialists from the Inclusive Education and Psychological Support Center of Baitursynuly University, together with student interns from the Department of Psychology and with the support of the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Economics and Law, conducted a practical study.

The training session with a first-year student group helped identify key areas of concern and development among students.

In addition, since January, a student with special educational needs has been studying in the group.

At present, students are undergoing an adaptation process both to one another and to learning within the framework of a universal design for inclusive education.

The training exercises were aimed at fostering acceptance of diversity and inclusion, developing empathy, and forming a culture of support.

Particular attention was paid to developing communication skills (initiating contact and maintaining dialogue), improving self-esteem and self-image, building confidence in social and academic situations, as well as enhancing self-regulation and planning skills.

The group work will continue, and for future psychologists, this experience provided valuable practice in supporting inclusion and delivering psychological support in an educational setting.
