Abstract:
This study examined the effect of the new teaching
method applied in the Kazakh literature course on students' cultural
identity and sensitivity, patriotic consciousness, and achievement.
In this context, the experimental group experienced innovative
teaching methods based on the works of Abish Kekilbayev. This
quasi-experimental study examined the effects of educational
activities on achievement,social consciousness, citizenship, cultural
identity, and sensitivity based on the works of Abish Kekilbayev, a
leading Kazakhstania writer, among second-year university
students. The experimental group underwent the new teaching
method, while the control group followed the activities outlined in
the current Kazakh literature textbooks. The effectiveness of the
method was assessed through post-test applications. The results
indicated significant differences in students’ academic achievement,
citizenship, social consciousness, cultural identity, and sensitivity
between the experimental and control groups, highlighting the
substantial impact of the new method. Similar approaches can be
applied to students at various educational levels. Additionally, a
comprehensive citizenship and identity education program could be
developed by closely examining the works of Abish Kekilbayev and
other similar authors in detail.
