With the establishment of the University, there emerged a need to train pedagogical personnel in the field of natural sciences, and the teaching of academic disciplines in this area was gradually organized. The Department of Natural Sciences was formed as an important educational, methodological, and scientific center that ensures the professional training of future teachers.
At the initial stage of the Department’s activities, courses in biology, chemistry, and geography were taught, with priority given to training specialists who had mastered the theoretical and practical foundations of the natural sciences. Subsequently, the scope of the Department’s activities expanded, and modern teaching methodologies and innovative technologies began to be introduced into the educational process.
Over time, the Department of Natural Sciences, along with training teaching staff for general secondary and technical and vocational education institutions, has been carrying out systematic work aimed at updating educational content, developing practice-oriented learning, and intensifying research activities.
Today, the Department successfully provides training for professionally competent teachers who possess deep theoretical knowledge in the field of natural sciences and are proficient in modern pedagogical technologies.
