The integration of digital and mobile learning approaches into school geography has become an important direction of pedagogical innovation in recent years, however, how these approaches systematically develop interdisciplinary and meta-subject competencies remains insufficiently theorized and empirically developed. Although individual studies have demonstrated the pedagogical potential of geospatial technologies, mobile augmented reality, immersive virtual environments, and artificial intelligence-based platforms, no previous review has conducted a comprehensive, systematic analysis of this body of evidence, linking it to the cross-curricular and meta-subject competency frameworks that are central to the reform agenda for national and international curricula. The proposed study fills this gap through a systematic review conducted according to PRISMA 2020 requirements: Ninety-one peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025 were included, selected from the Scopus database, and the level of agreement among the experts was confirmed with a κ = 0.79. The results of the analysis showed that GIS-based research, mobile augmented reality, and AI-supported learning tools make a measurable contribution to competencies such as spatial thinking, metacognitive regulation, systemic reasoning, and critical argumentation. These competencies are central both in international geography curricula and in post-Soviet interdisciplinary concepts. However, a persistent “policy–competency gap” was identified: curricular ambitions for high-level interdisciplinary teaching are often undermined by structural constraints, an insufficient pedagogical scaffolding, and the lack of validated assessment tools. Theoretical frameworks for digital competence development, such as Falloon's Teacher Digital Competency model and Chiu and colleagues’ needs-supporting institutional model, are not sufficiently applied in the context of geography. Based on this synthesis, a conceptual model is proposed that systematizes the conditions for the targeted integration of digital and mobile learning approaches in school geography with the aim of developing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary competencies, along with priority directions for future empirical research and curriculum design.

In the era of digital transformation, the application of remote sensing (RS) data in geography education and its effective integration into the teaching and learning process has become one of the pressing educational challenges, particularly in fostering students’ spatial thinking competencies. The purpose of the study is to identify the possibilities of incorporating RS data into school geography, to develop an effective teaching methodology based on its application, and to test it in practice. The research employed a review of international publications, surveys, correlation and comparative statistical analysis, modeling, analysis of regulatory documents, and pedagogical experimentation. The survey involved 124 geography teachers from different regions of Kazakhstan, while the experimental study included 52 eleventh-grade students from one secondary school selected through random sampling (26 students in the experimental group and 26 students in the control group). The survey results revealed that 62% of teachers use satellite imagery during lessons; however, 69% of them utilize RS data primarily for visualization purposes. The results of the pedagogical experiment demonstrated that the average academic achievement of students in the experimental group increased by 18.2%, whereas the improvement in the control group was 3.6%. Furthermore, the use of RS data positively influenced students’ geospatial thinking, research skills, and analytical abilities. The study further established that the structural-content model of RS-based teaching materials developed as a result of the research can contribute to improving existing methodologies. The proposed model is designed to modernize school geography curricula, enhance teachers’ methodological capacity, improve students’ learning outcomes, and promote geospatial literacy. The findings of the study demonstrate that the systematic integration of RS data into school geography education can serve as a scientific and methodological foundation for modernizing educational content, fostering students’ contemporary scientific and technological competencies, and improving the overall quality of geographic education.

Global transformations in education, including digitalization, sustainability-oriented learning, and practice-based pedagogical innovation, have intensified interest in research-oriented teacher education. This study presents a systematic review of international and Kazakhstani literature on research methodologies in teacher education, with the aim of identifying dominant methodological approaches, comparing thematic and conceptual priorities across contexts, and clarifying the role of Action Research within this broader landscape. The review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA principles and drew on publications from the journal Education Sciences indexed in Scopus and from Kazakhstani journals recommended by the Committee for Quality Assurance in Science and Higher Education of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The analysis combined quantitative screening, thematic coding, and comparative synthesis. The findings show that international literature conceptualizes research activity primarily as reflective, inquiry-based, and practice-oriented, while Kazakhstani studies more often frame it as a strategic and institutional priority linked to the modernization of teacher education. Across both contexts, Action Research emerges as a significant, though not exclusive, methodology for connecting reflection, inquiry, and professional change. The study contributes to current scholarship by offering a comparative analytical synthesis of research-oriented approaches in teacher education and by identifying conceptual and methodological gaps relevant to the further development of teacher education in Kazakhstan.

Introduction Labour-market restructuring and the growing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have increased interest in how universities support students' social mobility and career development. Methods This cross-sectional study examined associations among perceived psychological and pedagogical conditions, DEI perception, and career agency in 300 university students aged 18–24 from four cities in Kazakhstan. Analyses included descriptive statistics, correlations, group comparisons, hierarchical regression, bootstrap mediation, and assessment of common method variance. Results Perceived psychological and pedagogical conditions were weakly associated with DEI perception (r = 0.158, p = 0.006), whereas neither construct was significantly associated with career agency. The proposed indirect association through DEI perception was not supported. Differences by gender, educational level, and field of study were small. Discussion The findings suggest that students' perceptions of institutional support and inclusion are distinct from career agency. Positive DEI perceptions may therefore not translate directly into career-related action. Given the cross-sectional and self-reported design, causal interpretations are not warranted. Longitudinal studies should incorporate validated measures and behavioural or objective career outcomes.

Background Rapid technological advancement, digitalization of analytical instrumentation, and the growing demand for interdisciplinary competence have significantly transformed the role of analytical chemistry in science and industry. These changes necessitate a systematic reconsideration of how physicochemical analysis methods are taught within continuous chemical education. Objective This scoping review aimed to map and systematize the structural components of modern analytical chemistry education, identify dominant pedagogical approaches, and conceptualize their functional interrelationships within an integrated educational framework. Design/methods The study was conducted as a scoping review in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A comprehensive search was performed in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, ACS Publications, SpringerLink, and RSCI (eLIBRARY.ru), covering publications from 1975 (the earliest eligible record retrieved) to 2024. Eligible studies addressed pedagogical, curricular, or methodological aspects of teaching analytical chemistry or physicochemical analysis methods. Extracted data were analyzed using qualitative thematic synthesis and conceptual mapping to identify recurring educational components and trends. Results The analysis revealed a consistent shift from method-centered instruction toward competence-oriented and system-based educational models. The most frequently reported components included integration of theoretical principles with laboratory practice, problem-based and research-oriented learning, incorporation of digital tools and chemometrics, emphasis on metrology and data interpretation, and increasing attention to sustainability and green analytical chemistry. The evidence indicates a transition from isolated presentation of analytical techniques to structured training focused on analytical thinking, decision-making, and interpretation of complex data. Conclusions Modern analytical chemistry education is evolving toward an integrated, interdisciplinary, and competence-driven model that prioritizes conceptual understanding, information processing, and real-world problem solving. The structural framework identified in this review may support curriculum development, modernization of laboratory courses, and alignment of educational programs with contemporary scientific and industrial demands.

This study presents a quantitative analysis of errors in the perception and interpretation of hydronyms by university students in Western Kazakhstan. The aim of the study is to identify the types of errors that occur when students interpret hydronymic units and to reveal the cognitive difficulties underlying these errors. The study involved 120 university students who had previously completed courses in linguistics, cognitive onomastics, and regional geography. The main attention is paid to the analysis of errors in the perception of hydronyms in four analytical aspects: similarity of hydronyms, contextual perception of hydronyms, perceptual errors, and incorrect associative interpretations of hydronyms. Errors are classified into three types: inattentive errors, cognitive errors, and interpretative errors. The results showed that most of the errors are related to cognitive difficulties in interpreting the meanings of hydronyms and perceiving them in context. Problems also arise due to the inattention of students, which leads to errors in the analysis of similar hydronyms and their combinations. The greatest number of errors is observed in the perception of hydronyms with different origins, historical context and cultural significance. It is important that students have a clear understanding of both procedural and conceptual knowledge in order to successfully interpret hydronyms and use them correctly in context. Recommendations for teachers include the need to focus on the accuracy of the perception and interpretation of hydronyms, as well as on the prevention of errors that may disrupt the correct understanding of the cultural and historical significance of hydronyms in the educational process. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how students cognitively process hydronymic information and provide pedagogical insights for improving onomastic education in higher education.

Feedback is increasingly conceptualised as a dialogic and socio-culturally embedded process; however, little is known about how feedback practices operate across structural levels in laboratory-based higher education contexts. This study investigates how feedback is enacted across micro-, meso-, and macro-level dimensions of feedback culture in undergraduate chemistry laboratory courses within a Kazakhstani university. A qualitative case study design was employed, combining naturalistic classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Data were collected from three laboratory instructors and 40 undergraduate students across twelve observed laboratory sessions (approximately 24 contact hours), supplemented by interviews with 3 instructors and 3 students. Observation and interview data were analysed using a hybrid deductive–inductive thematic approach guided by feedback literacy frameworks. Findings indicate that feedback was frequent but predominantly enacted at the micro level as immediate procedural correction supporting task completion and laboratory safety. Meso-level feedback processes such as reflection, feedforward, and continuity across sessions were weakly structured, while macro-level structural support for feedback was limited. These cross-level conditions produced a stable configuration conceptualised as procedural feedback lock-in, whereby corrective feedback becomes normalised despite pedagogical intentions toward developmental learning. The study contributes to feedback culture scholarship by extending feedback literacy research into laboratory-based STEM education and offering analytically transferable insights for strengthening feedback design in practice-intensive higher education environments.

Fostering critical thinking in learning outcomes of Kazakhstan initial teacher education
(Frontiers Media, 2025-06-13)
Кабышева Марина Ивановна
The integration of critical thinking into initial teacher education programs is crucial to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4, as teachers play a pivotal role in fostering this essential competency. This study employs computer algorithms to analyze how Kazakhstani educational program developers incorporate critical thinking into learning outcomes. The data sources include Russian-language versions of all active bachelor's degree teacher education programs in Kazakhstan. A first-in-kind mapping was constructed linking Russian verbs to Bloom's Taxonomy cognitive skill levels for this analysis. The methodological approach utilizing automated verb frequency analysis offers a practical tool not only for initial evaluation but also for ongoing, repeatable assessments of curricula. The findings indicate that while direct mentions of “critical thinking” are present, and some higher-order thinking skill verbs are utilized, critical thinking remains modestly integrated into learning outcomes.

This study examines how a philologist’s linguistic identity can be cultivated through the systematic enhancement of communicative abilities in the context of university language education. The research focused on integrating cultural precedent phenomena (CPP)—culturally embedded idioms, allusions, and expressions—into the teaching of Russian and evaluating their impact on students’ communicative performance and identity development. We hypothesized that embedding CPP in a structured pedagogical model would lead to superior communicative, lexical, and intercultural outcomes compared with traditional instruction. A cohort of philology students ( n = 29) was divided into a control group ( n = 14) and an experimental group ( n = 15) and engaged in a 12-week instructional cycle within an exploratory mixed-methods design. Data was collected through diagnostic questionnaires, classroom observations, and performance-based assessments, and analyzed using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods. The results indicate that students in the experimental group showed substantially higher gains in speech fluency, lexical variety, pragmatic accuracy, and intercultural awareness than those in the control group. In addition, participants reported increased confidence in their linguistic self-identification and cultural affiliation, suggesting a positive association between CPP-based instruction and communicative development. The study outlines methodological considerations for incorporating culturally embedded language material into university curricula and provides preliminary evidence of how cultural precedent phenomena may support reflective and context-sensitive language learning.

Introduction Gifted adolescents often receive extensive cognitive enrichment, while their emotional and self-regulatory development remains underrepresented in school programs. This study examined whether socio-emotional and self-regulatory skills can be effectively developed through a structured soft skills intervention for gifted high school students. Methods A seven-week soft skills program was implemented with 96 gifted students aged 15–16 in Kazakhstan. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group ( n = 48), which engaged in reflection, empathy, and time-management activities, and a control group ( n = 48), which continued regular instruction. Emotional intelligence, self-regulation, motivation, and communication skills were assessed using validated psychometric scales and expert observations (Cronbach’s α = 0.80–0.91). Data were analyzed using t-tests and ANCOVA. Results The experimental group demonstrated statistically significant improvements compared to the control group ( p < 0.001), particularly in emotional intelligence and self-regulation, with large effect sizes (η 2 = 0.59–0.68). Expert evaluations also indicated increased emotional awareness, communication competence, and leadership behaviors among participants of the intervention. Discussion/conclusion The findings indicate that socio-emotional and self-regulatory competencies in gifted adolescents can be effectively enhanced through structured experiential learning. The proposed program offers a practical and scalable framework for integrating soft skills training into secondary education curricula for gifted learners.
