The award ceremony for the winners of the fourth season of the All-Russian competition “Knowledge.Lecturer” from the Russian Society “Knowledge” took place at the National Center “Russia” in Moscow on February 5. They were 70 lecturers from 37 regions of the country. Each received 250 thousand rubles to promote their educational content. Among the winners of the fourth season of the competition was the deputy dean for development Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Novosibirsk State University, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Timur Nasybullov. In the final, he gave a lecture “Bayes’ Formula as a Philosophy of Life”, in which he explained how this formula can be applied in reality.
Knowledge.Lecturer (formerly the “League of Lecturers”) is an all-Russian competition that allows each region to identify talented educators and create opportunities for their professional growth in this field. Within its framework, anyone can try their hand as a lecturer, improve their public speaking skills and find their audience. This is the flagship project of the Russian Knowledge Society, which has been implemented since 2021. Since the start of the project, more than 41,000 people have become its participants.
The fourth season of the All-Russian competition Znanie.Lektor was held from April 23, 2024 to February 5, 2025. More than 19 thousand people from all regions of Russia took part in it, including more than 5 thousand schoolchildren in a special nomination. They prepared author’s lectures on 14 competition topics and passed a multi-stage selection, which included training in public speaking, organizing their own lectures in their home region, interviews with experts. The 140 strongest participants among adults and students from 52 regions of Russia reached the final of the competition. They overcame the selection of more than 100 people per place. Each finalist received the honorary title of lecturer of the Russian Society “Znanie”.
The awards to the best lecturers were presented by the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Sergey Kravtsov, Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation Elena Yampolskaya, General Director of the Russian Society “Knowledge” Maxim Dreval and others.
Presenting the awards, the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Sergey Kravtsov noted that the future of our country depends on teachers, mentors, and lecturers, because they not only teach their students, but also shape the worldview of the younger generation.
“Today, together with you, we are developing our sovereign education system so that our schoolchildren are interested in our culture, language, and have a broad outlook,” said Sergei Kravtsov.
Maxim Dreval, General Director of the Russian Society “Knowledge”, spoke about new measures to support lecturers, which the Society plans to implement this year. In his opinion, it is very important to provide lecturers with the opportunity to develop, improve their skills and share experiences. Therefore, a project will be launched in March of this year, within the framework of which they can become participants in inspiring meetings, master classes, film screenings, intellectual games. More than a thousand events are planned by the end of the year, which will take place in every region of Russia. Their culmination will be the annual forum at the Mashuk Knowledge Center, which will bring together lecturers from all over the country. Presumably, it will take place in the fall.
— When I learned about the Znanie.Lektor competition, I immediately decided that I would participate in it to test myself. Yes, I am a teacher and I give a lot of lectures — both at NSU and outside the university. I often speak to schoolchildren — I tell them about mathematics. I think that this is very important for any teacher. In mathematics, as in any other science, not only scientific and research activities are important. They also need to be talked about. If this is not done, it will not reach either educational institutions, or technologies, or ordinary people. Therefore, every scientist should be a bit of a showman and in an understandable language in an accessible form tell a wide audience about their own results.
As part of the competition, I gave 8 lectures to schoolchildren. I immediately announced that I was ready to speak at schools, and I received many applications to give lectures. I talked about various interesting and useful facts from the world of mathematics, about how mathematics is used in real technologies. And even more interesting – how this science is shown in a funny way in all sorts of toys and puzzles, like the Rubik’s cube.
It is important for me that thanks to winning the competition, the geography of my performances will expand and I will be invited to give lectures not only to schools in Novosibirsk and the Novosibirsk region, but also to other cities and regions. I see special value in this and want young people to study mathematics more, because in the future they will be able to create technologies of the future with the help of this science, – said Timur Nasybullov.
