In a dynamic collaboration between local educational institutions, third-grade students from the Mathematics Education Department and Physics Education Department, Faculty of Education at Tishk International University (TIU) recently paid a visit to Ishik Gulan International Kindergarten and Primary School on November 30th, 2023. The visit was arranged by Asst. Prof. Dr. Aziza Kavlu and assisted by Research Assistant Maria Kawa for the Educational Psychology Course.

The school, thrilled to host these budding educators, welcomed the fresh perspectives brought by the university students. In return, the pre-service teachers had the chance to observe diverse teaching methodologies and the intricacies of managing a classroom. Prior to the visit, all pre-service teachers were informed and provided with observation reports designed in alignment with the Educational Psychology course. This preparation allowed for a more focused and meaningful engagement. The interaction not only benefited the university students but also injected a wave of excitement into the school’s atmosphere. Adding to the enriching experience, the Vice Principal of the school delivered a comprehensive presentation about the school’s teaching methodologies and academic system.
The students were inspired by the experience and generated a greater passion for the teaching profession. The collaborative effort between the university and the school ignited a spark of enthusiasm for teaching, showcasing the potential impact of such collaborative educational endeavours.
