A Teacher from Kostanay Uses Comics as an Innovative Approach to Revitalize Kazakh Literature
In a game-changing approach to Kazakh education, vibrant comic pages, powered by AI, are bringing stories from Kazakh literature to life for students at School No. 17 in Kostanai. A pioneering teacher, Aqbota Ermagambetova, has breathed new life into works like "Bakytsysz Jamal" by M. Dulatov, "Shuganyñ belgisi" by B. Maiylin, and "Anasyn saqyngan bala" by T. Nurmagambetov. These comics, now copyrighted on the Egov.kz portal, have proven to be a hit with students.
According to Ermagambetova, these adaptations cater to the students' age, simplifying complex sentences to make the material more digestible. "Not only are comics an engaging format, but they also manage to captivate students, keeping their attention and helping them recall the plot more effectively," she shares.
Her innovative teaching methods have paid off, as her students eagerly participate in regional and national competitions, relishing the learning process.
Ermagambetova's project has not gone unnoticed. She has been a consistent winner at various pedagogical competitions within the country, amassing over 30 published scientific articles and 5 methodological guides in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Japan.
Moreover, she is an active participant in the "100 new names - 100 new faces" project, a movement revitalizing Kazakh education.
While details about the intricacies of her AI-powered comics remain scarce, the broader picture of innovation in Kazakh education is promising. AI-powered educational content holds the potential to create a more enjoyable, interactive learning experience, making complex concepts more accessible. By weaving local literature and cultural themes into these comics, students are likely to feel a deeper connection with the material, thereby enhancing their learning experience.
As AI continues to reshape the educational landscape in Kazakhstan, the impact of Aqbota Ermagambetova's comics is something to eagerly anticipate.
Aqbota Ermagambetova's innovative use of AI technology in her comic adaptations of Kazakh literature for School No. 17 students not only caters to their lifestyle by creating an engaging format but also promotes education-and-self-development, as students are more likely to recall the stories and participants in regional and national competitions. With the potential of AI-powered educational content to create a more interactive learning experience and bridge the gap between complex concepts and students, technology has the power to significantly reinforce Kazakh education.
