PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL AND KAZAKHSTANI EXPERIENCE

Abstract

This paper examines the issues of ensuring personal development and psychological well-being, which are becoming more relevant every year. Psychological and pedagogical research in each country strives to find effective measures to solve these problems, taking into account its own characteristics and specifics. This article provides a comparative analysis of the international experience and practice of the Republic of Kazakhstan in this field, identifying the key approaches and methods that are the most successful at the current stage of development. The international community actively studies and exchanges experiences in the field of ensuring personal development and psychological well-being of secondary school students. In many countries of the world, issues of psychological development of schoolchildren and their personal development are part of educational policy. Countries are constantly adapting and applying the best practices of other countries to improve the quality of life of their citizens. Programs to support the psychological health of schoolchildren are actively developing, which include regular consultations with psychologists, trainings on the development of emotional intelligence, as well as programs to preserve stress and combat bullying. From the very beginning of school education, attention is paid not only to academic success. The Republic of Kazakhstan has been actively working over the past decades to improve the quality of education and create conditions for the personal development of schoolchildren. As part of this work, various programs are being implemented aimed at developing children's social and emotional competence, their personal stability, as well as the prevention of painful diseases among schoolchildren. The study of this topic allows us to identify the best practices and approaches that can be successfully implemented in the national system of social protection of the population, especially drawing attention to the issues of personal development and psychological well-being of secondary school students. Based on the above, the purpose of this study is to identify relevant and effective measures used to address the challenges of personal development and psychological well-being. The main task is to perform a comparative analysis of the international and Kazakhstani experience at the present stage.
