Abstract

The aim of this study is to conduct a SWOT analysis of online and work-integrated learning in higher educational institutions in Kazakhstan. The participants of the study were 117 s-year students from Toraigyrov University. Students filled out electronic SWOT matrices after completing a three-month period of online and work-integrated learning. The results of the SWOT analysis revealed that the key strengths of online learning in Kazakhstan include its flexibility, accessibility of educational materials and individualisation of the learning process. Weaknesses included the lack of live interaction with instructors and peers, insufficient feedback and technical difficulties. Opportunities for online learning involve access to global education and the enhancement of digital literacy. Threats encompass social isolation, demotivation and potential declines in education quality. The study's practical significance lies in the potential application of its results for enhancing online and work-integrated learning in Kazakhstan, as well as the development of hybrid educational programmes.

哈萨克斯坦高校工学结合学习与在线学习框架的SWOT分析

本研究的目的是对哈萨克斯坦高等教育机构的在线学习和工作结合学习进行SWOT分析。这项研究的参与者是来自托莱吉罗夫大学的117名5年级学生。学生们在完成三个月的在线和工作结合学习后，填写了电子SWOT矩阵。SWOT分析的结果显示，哈萨克斯坦在线学习的主要优势包括其灵活性，教育材料的可及性和学习过程的个性化。缺点包括缺乏与教师和同伴的实时互动，反馈不足和技术困难。在线学习的机会包括获得全球教育和提高数字素养。威胁包括社会孤立、丧失动力和教育质量可能下降。这项研究的实际意义在于，其结果有可能用于加强哈萨克斯坦的在线学习和工作结合学习，以及开发混合教育项目。
