On November 13, 2026, within the framework of “Quality Week – 2026”, a practical master class entitled “In Search of Truth: A Simulated Crime Scene Investigation Session” was held at the Institute of Education and Management of the West Kazakhstan Innovation and Technology University for students enrolled in the 6B12301 – Law Enforcement programme. The event was initiated and organized by senior lecturers of the Department of History and Law: L.A. Klimova, G.S. Zhansultanova, and M.D. Khasanova.
The main objective of the master class was to familiarize students with the specific features of forensic science, provide practical experience in learning the procedures and methods of crime scene examination, and develop skills in handling physical evidence. During the session, a simulated crime scene was recreated, where students took on the roles of investigators and forensic specialists, actively participating in the crime scene examination process. The participants completed practical tasks involving the examination of the scene, detection and recording of traces and evidence, as well as the application of forensic methods and techniques.
The master class enabled students to integrate their theoretical knowledge with practical experience and improve the professional skills essential for their future careers. Particular attention was paid to developing professional interest, observational skills, logical thinking, and a sense of responsibility.
“In Search of Truth” is a practical session aimed at developing students’ professional competencies and fostering an understanding of the importance of every trace in establishing the circumstances of an incident. Such practice-oriented activities not only increase students’ interest in their chosen profession but also contribute to consolidating theoretical knowledge, developing professional skills, and preparing future specialists for their professional careers.
