As part of a joint action plan aimed at improving the quality of educational activities at the Russian-Tajik Slavic University (RTSU) and transferring new competencies in the training of professional teaching staff, lecturers from the Polytechnic University conducted classes in three core areas: chemistry, physics, and applied computer science. These included lectures and practical classes for students, as well as professional development courses for the faculty of the RTSU Faculty of Natural Sciences.
The Chemistry module was taught by Irina Bazhenova, Associate Professor at the Institute of Biotechnology and Food Production (IBBS). Six RTSU faculty members and third- and fourth-year chemistry students attended the advanced training course "Modern Approaches to Teaching Natural Sciences."
Lectures and practical classes covered interactive and digital methods, organizing experiments, and preparing schoolchildren for Olympiads, the Basic State Exam (BSE), and the Unified State Exam (USE).
The participants demonstrated a high level of engagement, shared experiences, and gained new knowledge for their teaching work. The course strengthened international ties, promoted the Russian scientific and pedagogical school, and laid the foundation for future collaboration. All six RTSU teachers successfully passed the final assessment.
The "Applied Computer Science" section consisted of lectures and practical classes covering the "Software Engineering" course (a total of 32 hours). The classes were taught by Ivan Selin, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Software Engineering at the Institute of Computer Science and Information Technologies (IKNS). The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical and methodological foundations of software development, as well as the practical skills necessary for the effective management of software product development processes at all stages of the life cycle. This course is an essential component of training specialists in information technology and software development.
Maxim Lobachev, assistant professor at the Higher School of Mechanics and Control Processes (PhysMech SPbPU), taught 12 third-year students a course on "Continuum Mechanics." Over two weeks, lectures and practical exercises were held using interactive and game-based formats (a total of 36 hours). Three RTSU faculty members also took continuing education courses in the same subject.
Upon completion of the course, students gained in-depth knowledge in the field of continuum mechanics and learned to solve practical problems in mechanics, while instructors gained additional competencies in designing and organizing pedagogical activities in their respective fields.
During the visit, a meeting was also held with Bakhtiyor Gulboev, Head of the Department of Mathematics and Physics, where they discussed current tasks, plans for 2026, and prospects for joint participation in conferences and educational projects.
