Department of Additional and Inclusive Education«
The Department of Supplemental and Inclusive Education has opened at the Institute of Continuous Distance Education, Retraining, and Advanced Training at Bishkek State University named after Academician K.

These include choreographers, vocalists, fine arts teachers, and specialists in engineering and technical creativity, environmental studies, and tourism. The Department of Supplementary and Inclusive Education aims to create conditions for their professional growth, pedagogical adaptation, and integration into the modern educational environment.

PRACTICE
Adaptive and pedagogical practice
The purpose of the adaptive teaching practice is to provide the necessary practical and reference material, working with which will facilitate the acquisition of a set of analytical skills, including:
Professional basic practice
The continuous education system must promptly respond to the demands of industry and the social sphere, meeting the Kyrgyz Republic's needs for specialists who combine high professional competence, teaching and organizational skills, and business ethics. Students' professional-based internships—both as a continuation of the educational process and as an integral part of Russian language teacher training—should contribute to achieving these objectives. Internships serve as a link between theoretical study and the fundamentals of Russian language teaching methods.
Professional and specialized practice
During their professional internship, students continue to refine their teaching skills. While during their first internship, students typically used explanatory and illustrative methods, and only occasionally used search and problem-based methods, during their professional internship, these methods become the dominant teaching method. Students demonstrate greater independence in choosing their method. During their professional internship, students are given greater autonomy. Students combine their teaching duties with those of a homeroom teacher. The final stage of their work is an extracurricular activity on the subject, the purpose of which is to further study the Russian language.
