The results shed light on the specific motivations of female entrepreneurs in the manual labor sector in Kazakhstan and provide insights into the factors that influence their decision-making processes, contributing to a better understanding of women's entrepreneurship in this context.Item Open Access Analyzing the method game-based learning(2020 International Young Scholars, 2020) Kairat N.Abstract. This article discusses the benefits of using game-based learning. The purpose of the article: to provide a method that would make it easier for students to understand and accept the new topics at school and to remember the learned materials for a long time. Increasing the interest and activity of schoolchildren is an important part of the learning process. Motivating students is one of the biggest challenges for teachers. It is quite possible that the use of traditional teaching methods alone will cause indifference in students. Therefore, it is better to use active learning methods so that the lesson is not boring. In this regard, the use of game-based learning technology can increase the motivation of students to learn. Based on the research materials, it can be concluded that the game-based learning method facilitates students' learning and motivates students, allows them to work with classmates, i.e. increases the ability to work in groups, helps to overcome indifference to mathematics, creates a fun learning environment.Item Open Access The Benefits of Using Interactive Whiteboard in ELT to Young Learners(Suleyman Demirel University, 2013) Khamidullina D.B.This paper will discuss one of the latest technical equipments, the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB). Consequently, the aim of this paper is not only to inform but primarily create some additional interactive whiteboard materials for educators teaching English as a foreign language at Primary schools. It will also look at some possible advantages and disadvantages of using IWB, how easy or difficult it is to use, how it influences students' learning, what effect it has on their motivation, and what actually is so fascinating about it.Item Open Access DEVELOPMENT OF AN ATTITUDE SCALE FOR PHYSICS COURSES AND A REVIEW OF STUDENT ATTITUDES(SDU University, 2025) Zhumabek B.This study examines the attitudes of Kazakhstani students in grades 9 to 11 toward physics, using a sample of 195 participants from public, private, and specialized schools, including Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools (NIS) and Bilim-Innovation Lyceums (BIL). The sample included 106 girls and 89 boys, reflecting a diverse educational context. Data were collected through a 21-item attitude scale adapted from Aydın Gürler and Baykara (2020), covering six factors: Motivation, Interest, Self-efficacy, Academic Engagement, Physics Anxiety, and Math-related Anxiety. Internal consistency was excellent, with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.96 to 1.00. Items were rated on a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics (means, SDs, variances) and independent samples t-tests were used to analyze differences by gender and school type. Students showed generally positive attitudes toward physics: Motivation and Interest (M = 3.48), Self-efficacy (M = 3.46), and Engagement (M = 3.41) were relatively high. Physics Anxiety (M = 2.63) and Math Anxiety (M = 3.10) revealed the emotional complexity of physics learning. While gender differences were minimal, female students reported slightly higher anxiety levels. School type was more influential: students from NIS and BIL scored higher in motivation, engagement, and confidence than those in general schools, highlighting the role of institutional context and teaching approach. The findings emphasize the need for physics educators to address both cognitive and emotional aspects of learning. Especially in general schools, student-centered and inquiry-based strategies could improve engagement and reduce anxiety. Curriculum developers should also consider pacing and content design in early physics instruction. This study offers reliable data on student attitudes in Kazakhstan and validates a six-factor scale as a tool for measuring affective dimensions of physics learning. Future research could include qualitative methods, longitudinal tracking, or intervention studies.Item Open Access Reasons behind demotivation of middle school mathematics students(SDU University, 2025) Myktybekov O.This study aims to explore the reasons behind the demotivation of middle school students in mathematics and to analyze how various emotional and pedagogical factors contribute to this phenomenon. Understanding the roots of demotivation is crucial for educators seeking to enhance student engagement and academic performance. The research was conducted using a modified questionnaire based on the work of Gur, Balta, Dauletkulova, Assanbayeva, and Fernández-Cézar (2023). The survey was carefully designed to measure multiple factors influencing motivation, including enjoyment, pride, anger, hopelessness, and boredom, as they relate specifically to mathematics lessons. The sample consisted of middle school students from grades 7, 9, and 10, with approximately 30 participants overall. The study not only examined correlations between motivation levels and academic performance but also included comparative analyses between different classes. For example, motivation levels were compared between 7K and 7L classes, as well as between 9th and 10th grades. Additionally, an experimental intervention was conducted in which Desmos, a dynamic mathematics technology tool, was introduced to the 7K class, while the 7L class continued with traditional instruction. This allowed for analysis of the potential impact of technology on student motivation. Quantitative data were analyzed using correlation analysis, factor analysis, and internal consistency measures, providing a detailed view of how different motivational factors interact and influence students’ attitudes toward studying mathematics. The findings offer insights for developing targeted strategies to foster motivation and reduce demotivation in mathematics classrooms.
