MANY ROOTS, MANY VOICES

Educational system's differences between Kazakhstan and Sweden

In today's modern world , every university and every teacher has his own approach to the best way of studying.

 
In the first place, I want to compare two countries, Sweden and Kazakhstan, my home country, in educational system. It is popularly believed that in Sweden people focus on team working, rather than on individual work and due to such way of the studying, they try to find a common topic and to cooperate with each other. While in Kazakhstan people usually work on their own. 
Apart from that, in comparison with Kazakhstan there are not so big amount of lectures with teacher. 
In Sweden students get the list of references and they know that they should read it usually during 1-2 months because almost every course lasts month or two. In the end of the course students pass writing examination;there are no oral examinations. In the case, if course is extensive, the teachers add other forms of examinations like laboratory work, case and etc. 

If we look at Kazakhstan, we usually mix oral and writing examinations. There are 3 examinations in one semester, two of them are midterms and the last one is the final examination. All of examinations take place in one period of time. 
In Sweden courses go one by one while in Kazakhstan all courses go at the same time and have similar duration. 

To sum up all the information, I want to concentrate on the topic " team working and working individually".
