Internationalization of Higher Education Research in Kazakhstan: the case of the development of research ethics in the social sciences The article is devoted to the formation of research ethics in Kazakhstan. Since gaining independence,
Kazakhstan has made significant progress in reforming education and strives to become internationally
competitive in the production of knowledge in the context of internationalization and globalization.
Therefore, there is a need to adapt policies on research in education considering international experi-
ence, national and cultural context. This article outlines the directions of internationalization of research
over the past 10 years. The complex analysis of numerous sources allowed us to identify the problems
of the formation of research ethics in Kazakhstan, associated with the slow development of social sci-
ences and qualitative methods of educational research, as well as point out the options for promoting
research ethics standards that have the potential to form the competitiveness of Kazakhstani research. To
conclude, there is a need for a national discussion on research ethics, training for ethical review, and the
creation of Research Ethics Committees. Moreover, it is important to finalize the strategy of the national
research ethics code, taking into account the local context compatible with Western standards.
This study was financed by Nazarbayev University Collaborative Research Grant “No.

ing local and global influences” for which the authors are grateful.
Key words: internationalization, research ethics, educational research, higher education.
