Issues related to the study of educational and cognitive motives among primary school students at secondary schools during the classes of the Kazakh national sports Togyzkumalak game are considered. The result of the work is an increase in cognitive activity and academic performance of students.

Identifying the Impact of Classes of the Kazakh National Sports Togyzkumalak Game on Increasing Educational and Cognitive Activity of Primary Class Students

The effectiveness of the impact of the Kazakh national sports Togyzkumalak game on increasing the educational and cognitive activity of primary school students in the educational and cognitive process is considered. Based on the analysis, it can be noted the need for further development and systematization of the use of knowledge from various fields in classes on the Togyzkumalak game, as well as in other academic subjects, such as mathematics, language, physical education and others. This involves creating themed challenges, stories, and other forms of playful interaction. This approach sees the path to the effective formation of the personality of a student with multifaceted needs and the development of their educational and cognitive abilities through individualization and activation of educational and cognitive activities. Classes on the Togyzkumalak game based on an interdisciplinary approach can contribute to the diversified development of students’ personality, which is confirmed by the results of the study. Regardless of the individual characteristics of the students, this approach creates a positive basis for their neuropsychic development.

Investigating the conception of collaborative learning (CL) and student engagement in the acquisition of practical skills (SEPSA) among prospective physical education and sports students.

The study aims to explore the association between collaborative learning and practical skills acquisition (SEPSA) among 310 students from second-year, third-year, and fourth-year (First stage of higher education) from the Institute of Arts, Culture, and Sports- Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University. The data was collected using the time-lag approach at three intervals; 3rd week, 7th week, and 14th week. The mediation analysis suggests that collaborative learning (CL) has a positive mediating association with self-efficacy, and student engagement in practical skills acquisition (SEPSA). Additionally, collaborative learning (CL) has a positive mediating association with value-benefits, and practical skills acquisition (SEPSA). Furthermore, Collaborative learning (CL) has a positive significant association with practical skills acquisition (SEPSA). Our findings highlight the important potential of CL for increasing SEPSA.

An overview study on the educational psychological assessment by measuring students’ stress levels

This article reviews the literature on the field of bibliographic analysis of the literature on educational assessment, psychological stress during the examination period, human memory, stress in the classroom, psychometric tools, and measurement scales for students’ stress. It examined the link between students’ social and psychological health, stress levels, and preferred social support systems. The research subjects were Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University first-year students (n=299) who completed the Perceived Stress Scale and a Likert rating-type scale via a Google form. The validity and reliability of the scale were respectively confirmed through ‘high’ Aiken’s V and Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis showed a satisfactory fit for the model. The average relationship (r=0.39) was found between stress levels and preferred social support, while a positive correlation (r=0.29) existed between preferred social support and socio-psychological health. However, the Stress Level variable only correlated with Socio-psychological Health through Preferred Social Support. The subjects preferred the University Staff and Academic advisors as social support providers over their parents. Overall, the findings indicate that higher levels of support were associated with reduced stress and improved socio-psychological health among Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University students. Conversely, lower support levels correlated with increased stress and negative impacts on well-being.

МОДЕЛЬ ПОДГОТОВКИ БУДУЩЕГО СОЦИАЛЬНОГО ПЕДАГОГА-ЭРГОНОМИСТА К ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ

This article describes the results of a study that was conducted among students majoring in the social Pedagogy at the A.Margulan Pavlodar Pedagogical University, L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, K.Zhubanov Aktobe Regional University, al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Sh.Ualikhanov Kokshetau University. Based on the study findings, the authors concluded that the role of the teacher in Kazakhstan's educational institutions has fundamentally changed. Teachers are no longer just sources of information. Their primary function today is to activate students' cognitive processes. Teachers now act as consultants and colleagues in the acquisition of knowledge, facilitators of learning, friends, helpers, role models, and mentors, whose role is to engage and motivate students toward continuous knowledge growth. Given this shift, the profession of a social pedagogue-ergonomist has become increasingly relevant. The social pedagogue-ergonomist creates a comfortable and safe environment for each student, ensuring the protection of life and health while also supporting the realization of students' rights and freedoms. This role includes creating conditions for the comprehensive development of the individual, both during and outside of school hours. The authors developed a model for the graduate profile of a social pedagogue-ergonomist, along with an electronic textbook titled "Ergonomic Educational Space" for students majoring in social pedagogy.

The study of value orientations of modern Kazakhstani youth as the main determinant of a changing person in a changing world

Despite the strengthening of the world globalization processes accompanied by the development of individualistic values and devaluation of basic values, today we witness that contrary to this there is a strengthening of universal values, primarily related to the increase of spirituality in general. In our opinion, this paradox is caused, first of all, by the events that are taking place in the world today - coronovirus, military actions unleashed by Russia, various natural cataclysms and others. This leads not only to the actualization of the study of value orientations, but also to a change in the paradigm of their research. The study of the peculiarities of value orientations of modern youth is of particular importance, since it is demanded by the actual requirements of the social situation of development of the changing personality of the new generation, formed at the turn of the century - XX and XXI, having no experience of Soviet education and upbringing. Object of the research: students studying at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Empirical base of the study: Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi. The study involved 131 students (1-4 courses) studying at the Faculty of Philosophy and Political Science (FPS). The conducted research showed that modern Kazakhstani students (by the example of students of KazNU named after Al-Farabi) have developed more values of Self-Transcendence (Self-Transcendence), including universalism and kindness. The formed values fully manifest themselves in the sphere of moral consciousness, moral actions and personal moral (spiritual) properties, which is confirmed by statistically revealed interrelations. The scientific and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that its results reflect, on the one hand, the formation and ongoing transformation of values in modern youth, on the other hand - the conflict between the way things should be and the way they want to be, what guidelines are set by external social reality. Consequently, the value orientations of modern Kazakhstani students are conditioned by the social situation of development of a changing personality in a changing world.

THE ISSUE OF NATION-BUILDING IN INDEPENDENT KAZAKHSTAN IN THE WORKS OF DOMESTIC SCIENTISTS: A POLITICAL ANALYSIS

in this paper Kazakh researches literature review conducted on the topic of nation building in Kazakhstan. Based on articles, books and monographs published in «Bulletin of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University», «Journal of Philosophy, Culture and Political Science» of the al-Farabi Kazakh National University, «Kazakhstan-Spectr» of the Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and e-library of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University. The purpose of the article is to identify issues of nation-building that have not been considered by Kazakh scientists. The results of the article will serve as the basis for further and in-depth study of aspects of nation building in Kazakhstan. This article provides an overview of studies of kazakh scientists dedicated to issues of nation-building in the period after the country gained independence. The work highlights the diversity of aspects associated with the formation of national identity, including both the state-forming ethnic group (Kazakhs) and other ethnic groups living in Kazakhstan. The focus of research in the early 90s was the formation of nations around national identity. In the following years scientists paid attention to the strategies of nation building - civil or ethnic, as well as the influence of the Internet, globalization and ideology through the education system. Noted that different researchers have identified different aspects, such as strengthening the Kazakh language and economic development as key elements of nation-building. However, in the reviewed works not all aspects supported by empirical data, and the vastness of the topic makes it difficult to formulate specific conclusions. Some studies rely on regulations and government programs that, which creates difficulties in assessing the nation-building process. In conclusion, it is emphasized that in the 90s a new stage of research into nation-building began in post-Soviet countries, including Kazakhstan. Despite the extensive study of certain aspects, questions remain unresolved about the formation of a nation, the role of the state language, the interest of other ethnic groups in the language, the impact of the education system and the development of the film industry on national identity.

SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CREATING QUANTIZED EDUCATIONAL TEXTS AND THEIR INTEGRATION INTO CHEMISTRY DISCIPLINES TEACHING

The article discusses the issues of creating pedagogical content based on the reconstruction of educational texts by the method of their quantization. The leading research method was a statistical survey of students on the subject of satisfaction with the method used in the process of mastering chemical disciplines. A model of scientific and methodological foundations for the creation of quantized texts is presented, which includes basic rules, principles and algorithms. The verification of the scientific and pedagogical correctness of the developed quantized content for chemical disciplines was carried out at the universities of Kazakhstan (Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical university, Sh.Ualikhanov university), this made it possible to scale the process of implementing educational technology more effectively. The authors describe the steps and recommendations for creating materials, taking into account the target audience, the level of detail, the structuring of the material and the choice of appropriate technological tools. An expert assessment of the possibility of using the quantization method in teaching other disciplines of natural science and humanities is given. The scientific and methodological component of this topic is also of particular importance, including the development of optimal strategies for integrating quantized texts into the educational process, adapting the content to modern educational standards and evaluating the effectiveness of such teaching methods. This approach makes it possible to provide high quality and modern education in the field of chemistry that meets the requirements of modern society.

AI in teaching English as a foreign language: Effectiveness and prospects in Kazakh higher education

The article analyses the implementation and efficacy of artificial intelligence in teaching English to first-year students at the Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University. The present study examined the effects of AI chatbots on students' speaking abilities and overall experiences in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. The participants were 11 EFL teachers and 51 Abai University students, who were randomly assigned into two groups: an experimental cohort and a control cohort. The experimental group, consisting of over 26 students, received instruction through AI-based educational programs, while the control group, comprising over 25 students, received instruction through traditional teaching methods. Employing a pre-and post-test research design, the present study undertook a comparative analysis of students' progress in English speaking skills, both within and between experimental and control groups. The findings of the conducted tests have indicated that both groups exhibited a significant improvement in their oral communicative abilities, as evidenced by their performance in the two speaking tasks, namely reading a text aloud and answering questions. As for the student's proficiency and fluency, it was observed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of pronunciation. However, a discernible variation was detected in their intonation and stress patterns during the reading task. The results of this questionnaire offer an analysis of students' attitudes and opinions regarding integrating AI chatbots into language learning. This sheds light on the potential benefits and limitations of utilising such technology in the EFL context. Furthermore, the recent study explores the potential of AI chatbots as an effective tool to facilitate language learning and their future applications in the EFL setting. The implications of the research findings are thoroughly discussed, considering how AI chatbots can potentially enhance language learning and their potential usefulness in EFL education in the future.

Oil dispersion characterization of microorganisms producing biosurfactants

The article is dedicated to studying the ability of crude oil emulsification and displacement by bacteria producing low-molecular-weight biosurfactants. Six hydrocarbon-oxidizing cultures of microorganisms were used in this study: 3 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (T1, T4, D2) and 3 Bacillus cultures: Bacillus licheniformis A3, Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis A12, Bacillus subtilis A9 from the collection of the Biotechnology Department of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. The research findings indicate that cells of P. aeruginosa T1 exhibited maximum emulsifying and displacing properties, with an E24 value of 76.4% and an oil displacement ability of 5.1 cm. Among the three genes responsible for the production of low-molecular-weight biosurfactants, the presence of one gene, rhlA, responsible for the synthesis of rhamnolipid biosurfactants, has been confirmed. It was demonstrated that strains P. aeruginosa T1, P. aeruginosa T4, B. subtilis A9, and B. subtilis subsp. subtilis A12 showed high emulsifying activity, making them potentially effective for application in biotechnological processes aimed at enhancing oil recovery from mature reservoirs and in bioremediation processes.
