INFORMATION ABOUT THE HUMANITARIAN AND NATURAL-MATHEMATICAL DISCIPLINES        DEPARTMENT

The teachers of the Humanitarian and Natural-Mathematical Disciplines Department teach humanitarian, natural science and mathematical subjects. The department includes the following subjects: History, Russian Language and Literature, Kyrgyz Language and Literature, Geography of Kyrgyzstan, Botany, Medical Genetics, Human Hygiene and Ecology, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry.

The teachers of this department have developed educational and methodological complexes and syllabi for special disciplines. In addition, each teacher conducts classes using teaching materials developed personally. Teachers actively use modern and innovative teaching methods and apply slides and didactic materials during lessons.

The policy of the course is mainly aimed at improving and developing students’ professional competence. Special attention is paid to the development of students’ critical and analytical thinking.

Teachers and students actively participate in the scientific and social life of the college and the university. They have repeatedly become winners of city and regional competitions.

                                                     Classrooms

For theoretical and practical classes there are 2 large lecture halls and 11 classrooms for practical lessons. The classrooms are equipped with modern educational materials.

                                              Teaching Staff

Currently, 12 teachers work in the Humanitarian and Natural-Mathematical Disciplines Department, all of them full-time staff members.

                                            Educational and Methodological Work

At present, the department teaches the main disciplines of natural-mathematical and humanitarian-social sciences according to state educational standards in order to train qualified mid-level medical specialists.

These include:

Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Botany, Mathematics and Informatics, IOPD, Fundamentals of Ecology, Geography of Kyrgyzstan and others.

As part of the university component, several subjects are offered such as “Medicinal Plants of Kyrgyzstan” and “Biotechnology.”

To ensure deep learning of these subjects, lecture materials and laboratory work manuals are being developed at a high scientific and methodological level.

According to the curriculum, standard and working programs and syllabi are prepared and reviewed. For lectures and laboratory classes there are:

2 lecture halls

2 computer classrooms

9 specialized classrooms

1 herbarium fund

For field practice, agreements have been concluded with national nature parks and state reserves in southern Kyrgyzstan. Much attention is paid to the use of local materials when studying the disciplines.

Members of the department have fully switched to the modular system of education. In order to improve the quality of education, students take two modules each semester.

Teachers of the department have developed several textbooks and teaching manuals. They regularly participate in professional development courses and receive certificates. Mutual class observations and discussions are widely practiced in the department.

                                                      Scientific Work

A total of 12 teachers work in the department. Members actively develop educational programs, teaching aids and scientific-methodological materials.

Teachers work on improving the material and technical base, organizing students’ independent work, and supervising scientific research. As a result, 28 methodological manuals and several scientific articles have been published.

Research are as:

I. Biological research

Species composition of medicinal plants in Southern Kyrgyzstan – Seyilkan Mamytovna Termechikova, Ainura Arstanalievna Ormogoeva

II. Chemical research

Chemical analysis of water resources in Jalal-Abad region – Lailikan Kenjekulovna Bakalaeva, Mayram Tashtemirovna Pratova

III. Methodological research

Methods of teaching chemistry and ecology with professional orientation in secondary medical educational institutions – Ainura Arstanalievna Ormogoeva, Lailikan Kenjekulovna Bakalaeva

IV. Ecological research

Influence of ecological factors on the biodiversity of vegetation of the Chatkal Ridge – Kyyalbek Almanbekovich Dyykanov

                                             International Cooperation

One of the main ways to develop the education system in Kyrgyzstan is cooperation with foreign educational institutions, non-governmental organizations and donor agencies, attracting investments and exchanging experience between professors and teachers.

Currently, the department cooperates with universities in the republic and abroad, secondary medical educational institutions, NGOs and international foundations in order to improve education and conduct scientific research.

                                              Material and Technical Base

In the 2023–2024 academic year, the university provided the department with textbooks and educational materials to strengthen the material and technical base and ensure accessible education for students.

                                      Educational and Upbringing Activities

The plan of educational work and the work plans of curators are discussed and approved at department meetings. There are 6 curators working actively with their assigned groups.

They organize meetings with veterans, gynecologists, and respected mothers, and participate in community clean-up activities together with students. Students also regularly take part in social, cultural and sports events organized by the college and the university.

                                                      Field Practice

Field practice is the main form of studying the subject “Botany.” A sufficient number of hours is allocated for it.

The practice is conducted considering seasonal conditions. Students strengthen their theoretical knowledge and teachers collect research materials.

Agreements have been concluded with Kara-Alma and Arslanbob forestry enterprises to conduct field practice. It is one of the most interesting parts of the Botany course. During the practice students also organize environmental activities such as “Cleanliness Preservation” and “Nature Protection.”

                                Students’ Scientific Research Work (SSRW)

In the department there are student clubs “Young Chemist” and “Botanist.” According to the approved schedule, students work independently with teachers and carry out research activities.
