    DATA COLLECTION TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS AT RISK OF NOT COMPLETING A COURSE USING MACHINE LEARNING
    (СДУ хабаршысы - 2023, 2023) Bairamova D.
    Abstract. One of the most important methods in the study of various subjects is the understanding at an early stage of the learning process on the part of both the teacher and the student that the student is in a risk group that will not complete the course successfully. Identifying this group of students at an early stage of learning increases the level of motivation of students to start studying well in time and can help the teacher individually determine which student needs help. Before identifying a group of students at risk of not completing the course successfully, an important part is to collect and prepare the necessary data (predictors) for teaching machine learning algorithms. Currently, this is necessary for both online and offline education. In the presented method of determining a group of students, various types of algorithms were used, where one of the best results of determining a group of students with risk and without risk was shown by Logistic Regression with a high AUC =0.8003. The SMOTE method was used in the work, which coped well with the problem of data imbalance of the "Pass" and "Not Pass" classes, while increasing the accuracy of the forecast for the minority class "Not Pass" by 11%. Using certain predictors of student performance, it is possible to derive additional information such as the level of interest in the lesson. the determination of the final score for the lesson, a certain category (A, B, C, D) of students with different characteristics and other indicators that contribute to the involvement of students in the lesson at the earliest stage of learning.

    (SDU University, 2023) Myrzabek A.; Amangazina A.; Moldagaliyeva I.
    This research investigates the varieties and communicative purposes of codeswitching (CS) among the youth demographic in Kazakhstan. Centered around specific research questions, the researchers investigate the complex dynamics of CS within Kazakhstan's bilingual environment. Four young individuals studying abroad participated in a focus group interview, and the results showed a range of code-switching occurrences, from intra-sentential to tag-switching, and differing levels of ability to switch codes. There are various reasons why people switch codes, such as habit or choosing the best language for a conversation. Findings were discussed with a focus on the expressive and referential functions observed among young Kazakh adults. The comfort level of speakers in a given language and audience familiarity are factors that affect code- switching. The paper acknowledges its limits and proposes directions for future investigation, promoting the examination of other factors that may impact code - switching among young Kazakh adults.

    Abstract. Programming education has traditionally been provided at the undergraduate level worldwide. However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend in developed countries to introduce programming education at earlier ages with the aim of promoting software literacy, improving programming skills, and making programming education accessible to a wider audience. While some countries are updating their informatics lessons to include programming, others are incorporating programming lessons into their primary education curriculum for the first time. The level at which programming training is offered also differs between countries. The objective of this research is to explore how countries have integrated programming education into their curricula and to identify the differences between countries in terms of programming education. The study aims to answer the question of how programming education is provided at the primary education level both domestically and abroad. The research has found that programming education is increasingly recognized as important and many countries are now allowing programming lessons in their education curriculum, with some countries even introducing programming education in kindergarten. However, there are variations in the programming languages used and the skills taught to students across different countries.
