P. PİLTEN, N. Shahinkaya — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Mathematics anxiety is defined as feeling anxious and nervous about solving mathematical problems and using numbers in daily life and academics. While mathematics is very so important in every aspect of life, unfortunately, many people avoid it and talk about how difficult it is. Some studies show that mathematics anxiety is transmitted by teachers. For this reason, it is considered very important to reduce the anxiety levels of prospective teachers regarding teaching mathematics before they ensure their profession and to send them to service in a way that they are successful in their fields and boosts their self-confidence. In this context, this study aimed to examine the anxiety levels of prospective primary school teachers towards teaching mathematics. In line with this purpose, answers to the following questions were sought: (1) do prospective primary school teachers' mathematics teaching anxiety levels vary according to their grade level, (2) do they vary according to their mathematics grade point averages?
In line with this purpose, the research was conducted with 60 students studying in the Primary School Teaching Department at Khoja Akhmet Yassawi international Kazakh-Turkish University. The study employed a descriptive survey model. The Anxiety Scale for Teaching Mathematics was used to determine the anxiety levels of prospective primary school teachers regarding teaching mathematics. The results of the study revealed that prospective teachers' anxiety about teaching mathematics was low, did not differ according to their success in mathematics and mathematics teaching courses, and varied according to their grade level.

COMPETENCE-BASED APPROACH AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE EXISTING EDUCATIONAL PARADIGM

A.M. UTILOVA, T.Zh. SHAKENOVA, В.В. GABDULKHAYEVA — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Modern socio-economic transformations affect the development of a new education paradigm, where the leader is considered as a person with multi-functional competencies and a special humanistic orientation in life. Such characteristics ensure the possibility of self-sufficient resolution of diverse tasks in the professional and social spheres. In this regard, education needs reform and the introduction of new methodological approaches. One of these approaches is a competent approach, which is an alternative to abstract theoretical knowledge and is actively integrated into pedagogical practice.
The competence approach represents the introduction of personal-oriented education, accentuating practical and culturological content. At the same time, it does not represent a traditional “knowing” approach, which adds its personal, cost and motivational components. The main competence is directed to the development of self-reliance, self-actualization, socialization and individualism of the educational institution. For the implementation of these goals, new meta-educational concepts are introduced: competence, and metacompatibility. Such an image, a competent approach enhances the practical and practical characteristics of the educational process. His introduction will depend on changes in the organization of the educational process, in the management of educational institutions, in the activities of teachers, as well as in the methods of Education.

S. ADAL, T.N. AKYLBEKOVA, A.Zh. UTEMISSOVA — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This article explores strategies to enhance the research competence of postgraduate students in Kazakhstan universities, aiming to strengthen national intellectual capacity and facilitate its integration into the global academic community. Focusing on Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University (KazNPU) from 2020 to 2024, the study investigates postgraduate student participation in research activities and identifies key barriers hindering their engagement. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative and qualitative data gathered through surveys, interviews, and institutional records. The study specifically examined master's and doctoral student participation in research projects, conference attendance, and academic journal publication rates.
Key findings revealed that only 41.5% of postgraduate students actively participated in research projects. Participation in international conferences was notably low at 3.6%, while attendance at university-organized conferences reached 37.41% and national conferences 15.23%. Publication rates were also limited, with only 23.57% of students publishing at the national level. Of those publications, 63.96% appeared in domestic journals, and a mere 12.47% were published in international journals indexed in databases such as SCI, IE, and CSCD. These results highlight a significant gap between domestic and international research output. The article proposes actionable recommendations to address these challenges, including establishing internal grant schemes to support student research projects and international conference attendance, providing targeted academic English language training to improve scientific communication skills, and publication in reputable international journals. Implementing these initiatives is expected to align postgraduate research activities more closely with national and international scientific priorities, thereby improving the quality of postgraduate education in Kazakhstan, enhancing its global academic competitiveness, fostering a more dynamic research environment, and strengthening Kazakhstan's position within the global scientific community.

Theoretical Bases of A. Baitursynov's Works in the Field of Literary Studies

Sh. Ibrayev — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

A. Baitursynov's work in the field of literary studies, who became the leader of Kazakh science in the early 20th century, is intertwined with the anthropological, psychoanalytical, and artistic-aesthetic platforms of scholars in Europe and Russia at that time. If we judge by the foundations of the theoretical justifications of the book Literary Studies, which was published before Soviet ideology came to dominate, it was generally assumed that freedom of speech and the desire to think should not be bound to a method, movement, or a specific system of views, but rather to the objective portrayal of existence. One can trace the scholar's aspiration for creative freedom in research, which was becoming a priority in European and Russian literary science.
Analyzing the at times unconvincing experiences of such searches, he warns Kazakh literature against them. He criticizes the attempts of the Formalism school, which emerged in the early 20th century and was preoccupied with one-sided form and artificial word formation. At the same time, Abai's poetry is promoted as a model of genuine creativity while avoiding artificiality. From a postmodernist perspective, Abai skillfully uses language to serve both truth and art without being constrained by excessive formalism. To avoid unnecessary dissection of words, Baitursynov argues that emphasizing the integrity of the text is the key to truly understanding the nature of a literary work, thereby approaching the writer's vision, psychology, and artistic expression.
It is obvious that A. Baitursynov's studies, which aligned with European and Russian anthropological inquiries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries – a period noted in Turkological science as the “the Radlov period” – led Kazakh literary studies toward the advanced scientific practices of that era. Rather than simply emphasizing the importance of striving for European experience in both artistic exploration and the development of literary studies, his approach demonstrates that the literature of an independent nation should be understood in unity with its historical and cultural identity.

SATIRIC POEMS AND TRANSLATIONS OF MAMMAD SAID ORDUBADI

S. IBRAHİMLİ — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Among the great figures of world literature, three Russian thinkers stand out: Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, and Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin. These literary geniuses are significant to Russian culture and hold universal values due to their profound humanism, democratic ideals, rejection of racism, and love for humanity. Their works have been widely translated across different cultures, including in Azerbaijan, where numerous poets and writers have contributed to their dissemination.
One such prominent Azerbaijani translator is Mammad Said Ordubadi, who dedicated his literary career to translating and promoting the works of these Russian authors. His collected works comprise at least six thousand pieces, including both short and extended literary compositions. Although Pushkin lived a relatively short life of 39 years, his travels across various regions, including the Caucasus, greatly influenced his poetry. Despite not visiting Azerbaijan directly, Pushkin expressed admiration for the region and its cultural heritage, which is reflected in his poetry devoted to the Caucasus. His intellectual interactions with Azerbaijani scholars such as Abasgulu Agha Bakikhanov and Mirza Fatali Akhundov further strengthened the cultural exchange between Russian and Azerbaijani literary traditions.
Pushkin’s works, translated by Azerbaijani intellectuals, became widely popular among the literate population of Azerbaijan. Mammad Said Ordubadi, who deeply admired Pushkin’s humanistic ideals, translated several of his works, including “The Fountain of Bakhchisaray”, “Boris Godunov”, “Nightingale”, into Azerbaijani. Ordubadi’s literary contributions extended beyond Russian literature, as he also translated works from European and global authors. His extensive literary career, spanning over six decades, reflects both his natural poetic talent and his dedication to fostering intercultural literary appreciation. This study highlights the significance of Ordubadi’s translations in bridging Russian and Azerbaijani literary traditions, demonstrating the enduring impact of literary humanism across cultures.

The Study of the Epics of the Nogai Period

T.A. Kongyratbay — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

One layer of epic songs of the Kazakh people is the Nogai epic. They are based on the Kazakh-Nogai epic traditions, once in the same ethnic union. The article discusses some issues of studying these legends. Of course, epic traditions, starting from the Nogai era, have different paths of development. As a result, epic genres have been preserved in the folklore of one of these peoples, while they have not been reflected in the folklore of others. For example, in Kazakh folklore, epic tales have been preserved as part of the genealogical cycle about Nogai heroes, but most of them are unknown to the Nogai people.
The collection of the epic legacy of the Nogai era began in the 40s of the last century. At the same time, three genealogical cycles consisting of about thirty epic tales were recorded from the epic storyteller Muryn Sengirbekov. Unfortunately, during Soviet times there was no opportunity to study these heroic tales. Their publication, dissemination, and scientific study were prohibited. Nevertheless, individual researchers have written and published studies in periodicals on the epic legacy of the Nogai era. The Nogai epic began to be published only after the country gained sovereignty. It has been included in various folklore and ethnographic collections dedicated to the Kazakh epic. Despite recent research by individual researchers, the Nogai epic has not been studied from the perspective of ethnic history.

Kazakh Shamanism and Ritual-Magical Folklore in the Aspect of Historical Retrospection (Based on the Material of Kobyz and Saryns of Baksy)

G.N. Omarova — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The article is devoted to the study of Kazakh shamanism baksylyk, which has very distinctive national features. Baksylyk as a syncretic phenomenon is of great interest not only in domestic ethnography, religious studies and folklore studies, but also in cultural studies, history, philology, art studies. The attention of musicologists to this problem is due to the role of the musical and poetic genre of baksy’s singing (saryn) and the ancient 2-stringed bowed musical instrument kobyz (kylkobyz) in the shamanic’s ritual (baksy ojyny).
Based on the available scientific data in the field of Kazakh folklore, ethnography and ethnomusicology, the issues of further study of Kazakh shamanism, ritual and magical folklore, saryns of baksy and Kobyz in historical and cultural perspective are actualized. Conclusions are drawn that: 1) the shaman in his syncretic activity and ritual demonstrates the functional unity of healing (medicine), magic (religion), poetry and music; 2) despite the parallel line of evolution (transformation) of the shaman-baksy type in the Kazakh culture, baksylyk as a public institution existed until the beginning of the twentieth century; 3) the latter, along with other factors of traditional culture, testifies to the “spatial-chronological continuity” (S. Akataev) and the cyclical type of development of nomadism as a system that reproduces the foundations of its material and spiritual culture throughout history; 4) baksy's musical and poetic work is on the borderline of folklore and oral professionalism. This is important for musicology and for philology, history and cultural anthropology, because it allows us to identify some significant differences between Kazakh shamanism in comparison with elements of shamanism in other related Turkic-Mongolian cultures.

KAZAK TÜRKÇESİ GÜNEY BÖLGESİ AĞZINDA SES OLAYLARI

K. SEMİZ, Zh. Ibragimov — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The most effective way to understand the historical development of languages, changes in vocabulary, and linguistic structures is through dialect studies. Dialects provide a rich source for tracking regional differences in the phonetic structure of a language and transformations throughout its historical processes. In this context, dialect research holds great importance, particularly in the analysis of phonetic phenomena. These phenomena help trace changes in a language's phonetic structure, helping us understand how it evolved from the past to the present.
Turkish, with its extensive geographical spread and historical diversity, provides a wealth of data for dialect research. Kazakh dialects spoken in the southern region of Kazakhstan are an important area of study in this context. The main goal of this study is to thoroughly examine the phonetic phenomena observed in these dialects. For this purpose, a study was conducted in 26 villages including Teke, Karnak, Karaşık, Savran, Kandöz, Şornak, Sultanbek Kojanov, Şiyeli, Kojakent, Özgent, Tügisken, Talap, Tömenarık, Beşarık, Kelintöbe, Köktöbe, Janaarık, Manap, Akjol, Ekpindi, Sunakata, Karatöbe, Maylıtogay, Tasböget, Otrar, Baltaköl. An attempt was made to reveal the differences between these dialects and Standard Kazakh Turkish, especially based on features such as the use of vowels, length, roundness, and width. For example, although there is no rounding phenomenon in Standard Kazakh Turkish, the sounds that follow are also rounded in the regional dialect due to the effect of the rounded vowel in the first syllable: jürüwgö ˂ jurwge “to walk”, ülkön ˂ ülken “big”, üydö ˂ üyde “at home”.
This examination aims not only to identify regional differences but also to assess the historical ties and geographic influences on the language. It is expected that the findings could offer a broader perspective on the phonetic structure of the Kazakh language and contribute to future comparative Turkishology studies. It is anticipated that the analysis of phonetic phenomena could lay a foundation for creating dialect atlases and understanding relationships between dialects.

This study explores English, German, and Kazakh similes, focusing on their linguistic structures, cultural significance, and communicative functions. Similes are a fascinating aspect of language that adds depth and color to communication. They are unique expressions that combine familiar elements in unexpected ways, often drawing on cultural references and linguistic creativity. In this article, we will consider similes' lexical and semantic features in three diverse languages: English, German, and Kazakh. By examining how these languages utilize similes for various purposes, we can gain insight into the nuances of their respective cultures and linguistic structures. The comparison of similes across these languages will not only highlight similarities and differences but also shed light on the rich tapestry of expressions that exist within each language. Through this exploration, we aim to deepen our understanding of how language shapes perception and thought, showcasing the beauty and complexity of similes in English, German, and Kazakh. Analyzing and comparing the structural and semantic systems of similes in different English, German, and Kazakh languages in terms of their genetic and typological structure in this matter, determines the unique features of each language.

The Semantics of Deprivation in the Pejorative Thesaurus

A.S. Bokhanova, А.О. Azizova — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This article is devoted to identifying the degree of effectiveness of verbal-semantic means used to organize a pejorative thesaurus for distance learning. The factual material is based on the linguistic means of deprivation semantics involved in this kind of formation. The sources of the material were scientific articles that set out the perspectives of scientists regarding online learning. When analyzing the material, the thesaurus method, the method of semantic analysis, classification, and constructive research methods were used. The scientific significance of the work lies in two main aspects. The first aspect is based on the theoretical component since the study introduces the term “pejorative thesaurus” for the first time. The second aspect involves the use of this term in the context of identifying the degree of effectiveness of online learning: the article contains epistemological material that allows researchers to expand and deepen their understanding of the scientific discourse on distance learning. The novelty of the study lies in its attempt to prove the role of verbal-semantic means in conveying the meaning of deprivation in shaping the future trajectory of education from the perspective of the inefficiency of the online learning format. The practical significance of the work lies in the importance of using the obtained results in the social environment when developing the educational policy of states. Certain provisions can be applied to the practice of improving academic writing. The results of the study support the assertion that verbal-semantic structures conveying the meaning of deprivation in scientific articles in the context of distance education perform an effective function in the organization of a pejorative thesaurus.

Linguotextological Analysis of the Text of the Written Monument of the Seif Sarai “Gulistan bit-Turki”

А. Seitbekova, A. Seidamat — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today, in order to establish the affiliation of written monuments to the Kipchak dialects, it is important to study the medieval written heritage not only phonetically, grammatically, but also linguotextologically. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to conduct a linguotextological analysis of the text of the written monument of the Seif Sarai “Gulistan bit-Turki”, written in the era of the Golden Horde. The article provides a comparative analysis of the work of the Seif Sarai “Gulistan bit-Turki”, written in the XIV century, with its version written in Persian, to study the author's usage of the Sarai Safe. In particular, the similarities and differences between the Persian and Turkic versions are analyzed; the principles and style in the author's translation are determined, the author's usage of the Sarai Safe is analyzed; lexical units related to the Kipchak language are considered separately; and the author's decision in the use of some lexical units is analyzed.
Descriptive, linguotextological, historical-comparative and linguostatistical methods were used in the study of the text of the monument “Gulistan bit-Turki” of the Seif Sarai.
The practical significance of the research work consists in clarifying and defining issues related to Turkology and textual studies.

Differences in Voice and Tone in Speech

S. Magzhan — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The article describes the semantic, communicative and pragmatic activities of prosody in the text. The theoretical foundations of the study of voice and tone in language, the semantics of voice and tone, and the main features of prosody will also be considered. The mutual adjustment of the voice register of the participants in the dialogue is being studied. The tone features determine the degree of dialogue imitation (self-realization of the communicant). With the help of certain tone characteristics, information is given about the peculiarities of the manner of speech, the identity of speech, i.e. about the extent to which it corresponds to the status of communicants and the genre of speech. Language is a complementary combination of two systems: verbal and non-verbal. The study of the latter examines not only oral speech at the present time, especially when attention is paid, but also the analysis of speech discourse and situations in which speech, listening, communication. The use of non-verbal communication components helps to avoid verbal retelling, unreasonable repetition, and makes speech effective, accurate, and semantically complete. The use of non-verbal components of communication gives emotionality, brightness to speech, and focuses attention on any meaning of the spoken word. Therefore, the article analyzes the rationale for the use of gesture components, including prosodic ones, in theoretical and experimental speech communication.

A.N. Аbdukalimova, K.S. Kalybayeva — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This article examines the cultural and national features of the phraseological units in the English and Kazakh languages, as well as their comparison and analysis. The uniqueness of each culture becomes apparent upon careful consideration of phraseology, since the set of expressions in one language may differ markedly from the elements of phraseological units in other languages. This underlines the importance of studying phraseological units for a deeper understanding of the mentality, cultural traditions, and customs of different peoples, and their comparison allows researchers to identify the distinctive features of each country. A comparative study of phraseological units in languages that do not have a genetic connection not only helps to improve the understanding of the meanings of foreign expressions but also allows scholars to identify their national and cultural characteristics and identity. The article highlights the phraseological aspect of the study of phraseological units through the national cultural code within modern linguistic and cultural studies and provides a comparative description of the phraseological units of the Kazakh and English languages. During the study, phraseological units related to the names of bread were collected and analyzed, selected by a continuous sampling method from Kazakh-English phraseological dictionaries. The analysis revealed both similarities and differences at the lexical and semantic levels, allowing for a deeper understanding of the essence of both linguistic cultures.

А.Т. Kembayeva, O.S. Zhubai, S. Eker — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

To understand a nation's culture, ethnic identity, behavior, and worldview, it is crucial to define its inherent national mentality. This research aims to determine the characteristics of national mentality based on artistic and publicistic discourse. To achieve this, the study examines the artistic and publicistic discourse in the works of writer Sherkhan Murtaza, analyzing the distinctive features of national mentality, its linguistic characteristics, and the author’s unique creative approach in portraying it. Various methods were employed, including the analysis, selection, comparison, interpretation, and application of lexical-semantic and contextual analysis techniques to examine specific passages from the texts. The meanings of linguistic units that reflect national mentality were explained in each analyzed excerpt.
The study of texts that depict national mentality provided new insights into national traditions, worldviews, and cultural specificities. The necessity of identifying how national mentality evolves over time in response to historical events, as well as social, ideological, and public influences, underscores the thematic significance and relevance of this research.
Additionally, the research explores how national mentality is represented in artistic and publicistic discourse, focusing on the author's use of language. It is demonstrated that the expression of national mentality is embedded in the semantic essence of a text, phrase, or even a single word, and its distinction from national psychology is clarified. Previous theoretical and practical studies on this subject were reviewed, and a lexical analysis of the text was conducted in the analysis and results section. Defining national mentality within the scope of artistic and publicistic discourse further highlights the scientific and practical significance of the study.
By examining how national mentality manifests in different contexts, the research also analyzes the interrelation of customs and beliefs rooted in national consciousness. The communicative function of artistic and publicistic discourse was considered, particularly the lingua-cognitive and mental connection between speaker and listener. How national mentality is conveyed in texts was analyzed from the perspectives of linguistic features and the author’s stylistic choices. The study establishes that the national mentality is most explicitly expressed in Murtaza’s publicistic works, where the linguistic and conceptual representations of national cognition are explored within individual passages.
In conclusion, the research defines the distinctive ways in which national mentality is conveyed in artistic and publicistic discourse based on Sherkhan Murtaza’s works. The similarities and differences between the two discourse types were analyzed, contributing to a deeper understanding of how national identity is reflected in language.

Shaping and Developing Graded Fiction Readers: A Literature Review

А.А. Igenova, K.A. Toleubayeva — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study presents a systematic literature review dedicated to analyzing the history, development, and pedagogical applications of adapted fiction in language instruction. The review focuses on examining the origins of graded readers texts, their historical evolution, and their application in language teaching. Conducted in accordance with PRISMA criteria, the study ensures transparency and rigor in source selection and analysis. The literature review used academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, JSTOR, and Google Scholar, with a primary emphasis on publications in English. The selection criteria prioritized peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings, while excluding non-academic sources unrelated to adapted literature or language teaching. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.
The findings highlight the critical role of adapted literature in language learning, particularly in facilitating comprehension, enhancing vocabulary acquisition, and promoting cultural understanding. The review also identified significant issues, such as content simplification and the limited availability of resources for less commonly taught languages. While adapted literature proves to be a valuable resource in language instruction, the study revealed several existing gaps that require further attention.

Manifestation of Psychologism in the Genre of Modern Kazakh Poetry

A.S. Otemis, S.B. Yerzhanova — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This article describes the manifestation of psychologism in modern Kazakh poetry. The genre of poetry is a unique form of literature, rich in lyricism, reflecting the author's inner emotions and emotional state. Today, analyzing literature in comparison with other fundamental sciences seems to further reveal the beauty of the art of speech.
For this reason, in our article, we attempted to explore the connection between psychological research and modern Kazakh poetry. We focused on the poetry of well-known contemporary lyric poets, Tynyshtykbek Abdikakimuly and Akberen Elgezek. While reading their poetry, we aimed to uncover its underlying meaning, the poet’s emotional state, psychological impact, feelings, regrets, sorrows, joys, and consolations.
Our study is guided by the concept of “Sensory Perception” by Aristotle, the world’s first teacher, and the ideas of Sigmund Freud, a scholar who contributed to the foundation of psychoanalysis. Additionally, we considered L.Ya. Ginzburg’s definition of “psychologism,” along with the philosophical insights of Schelling, A. Burov, and S.P. Belokurova. The studies of domestic scholars such as B. Maytanov, T. Rakhimzhanov, and A. Tanzharykova also influenced our research objectives.
Since revealing the manifestations of psychologism in modern Kazakh poetry is considered relevant, we have taken the works of T. Abdikakimov and A. Elgezek, prominent poets of contemporary Kazakh literature, as the primary focus of our study.
