Тип записи:Публикация, Exploring Cognitive and Creative Strategies for Linguomethodical Reflection: A Qualitative Case Study of Pre-Service English Teachers(Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2025-12-28); ; ; Gaziza SmanovaThis qualitative case study explores how pre-service English language teachers employ reflective practice through cognitive and creative strategies during their practicum. Conducted in Kazakhstan, the research involved six final-year undergraduate ELT students who participated in classroom observations, maintained reflective journals, and took part in semi-structured interviews. Data collection was guided by a researcher-developed checklist, and thematic analysis revealed how participants used cognitive strategies such as strategic planning and self-monitoring to enhance their instructional awareness. In addition, creative strategies including metaphors, storytelling, and visual reflection tools facilitated emotional insight, flexible thinking, and the development of teaching identity. The integration of these reflective approaches also strengthened linguomethodical awareness by enabling participants to connect language pedagogy with authentic classroom experiences. Overall, the study highlights the pedagogical value of combining cognitive and creative reflective methods in teacher education programs to promote adaptive, learner-centered, and context-responsive teaching practices among novice language educators. As a qualitative case study, it provides nuanced insights into the reflective dimensions of pre-service teacher development in the context of English language education in Kazakhstan. - Некоторые метрики заблокированы вашиминастройками согласия
Тип записи:Публикация, Gender Perspectives in Higher Education: Enhancing Gender Studies in Kazakhstan(Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2025-03-28); ; ; Gulzira YestekovaThis study examines the integration of gender studies into Kazakhstan’s higher education curricula, emphasizing their effectiveness, teaching methods, and challenges in fostering gender awareness and equality. Utilizing a qualitative research design, the study combines content analysis of over 5,000 active educational programs with in-depth interviews with faculty experienced in teaching gender studies in Kazakhstan. Twenty-nine universities across the country offer 98 gender-related courses, reflecting the growing commitment of Kazakhstan’s higher education system to addressing gender issues through academic programs. The research identifies various undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. course offerings, emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach that includes sociology, psychology, linguistics, and management, among other fields. The study findings also highlight several challenges, such as the lack of standardized curricula, limited resources, inconsistent institutional support, and cultural resistance to specific sensitive topics, including radical feminism. Faculty interviews underscore the need for professional development in gender/feminist pedagogy and emphasize the importance of the university administration’s support for gender studies programs. This study contributes to global discussions on gender studies education by shedding light on Kazakhstan’s unique challenges and opportunities. While limited by its focus on certain universities and several educators, the study provides a foundation for future research on the long-term impacts of gender studies education in Kazakhstan. Addressing these challenges could advance gender equality initiatives and foster broader societal transformation, emphasizing the critical role of gender studies courses in achieving an equitable future.
