More specifically, we focus on developing an understanding of how research methods courses in teacher education are developed at universities in Kazakhstan, what challenges faculty encounter in teaching research methods courses and how they cope with these challenges, as well as how undergraduate and graduate students in teacher education assess the value of research methods courses for their future academic and professional work.
