The contemporary landscape of education is witnessing a paradigm shift toward innovative instructional methods, with the flipped learning approach gaining considerable attention. The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of the flipped learning approach on students’ perception and acceptance throughout an entire semester in the ‘Introduction to Programming with Java’ course. The research utilized a research design with a quantitative approach, ultimately aiming to inform educational practice and advance our knowledge of innovative teaching methods in higher education. This study was conducted at a university with 174 students involved, divided into two groups: 87 students in the experimental group and 87 students in the control group. The data collected through the scales were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis techniques in statistical software. At the end of the measurements, the technology acceptance level and self-directed learning perceptions of engineering students who received education with flipped learning were high. The results suggest that educators should consider students’ readiness for self-directed learning when implementing the flipped learning approach and focus on creating an environment that supports their autonomy and engagement. This research offers valuable guidance for instructors, curriculum designers, and educational policymakers seeking to enhance the effectiveness of flipped learning in higher education courses.

This study aims to examine the effect of online education on the professional creativity of primary school teachers. The research was carried out in a mixed method. The study group of the research consisted of 319 primary school teachers who work in various primary schools in Zhetysu Region, Kazakhstan, and have online education experience. The data collection tools of the research were the teacher creativity scale, whose Kazakh language validity was provided by the researchers, and the semi-structured interview form. The analysis of the quantitative data of the research was carried out with SPSS 25 statistical program. Content analysis was performed for the analysis of the qualitative data of the studies. As a result of the research, it was determined that the creativity levels of primary school teachers were high. According to the seniority variable among primary school teachers, it was determined that the creativity levels of those with medium seniority were higher than the others. The vast majority of teachers stated that online education has a positive effect on professional creativity. The study recommends increasing the creativity level of primary school teachers, by establishing in-service training programs for all teachers, especially those who are in the first and last years of their professions.

Introduction . Online communication and digital etiquette have become essential components of higher education, requiring a thorough understanding of their evolution and current status. Aim. This research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of scientific thought in network communication and digital etiquette within higher education, offering insights into the current state and future prospects of this field. Methodology and research methods . The study employs a bibliometric analysis of metadata from 9,039 articles indexed in the Web of Science from 1975 to 2024. Quantitative bibliometric methods are utilised to describe and visualise the evolution of the field over 49 years, examining publication growth dynamics, author productivity, and the social, intellectual, and conceptual structures. Results . The research findings indicate a consistent increase in publication activity, particularly notable since 2019, with contributions across various disciplines, including education, computer science, communication studies, sociology, psychology, and management. The research community exhibits a global character, with the USA, China, and the UK at the forefront of authorship. The study identifies twelve key research themes that dominate scientific discourse, ranging from contemporary educational approaches in the digital age to the co-creation of value in the digital environment. Scientific novelty . This comprehensive analysis provides a unique perspective on the evolution and current state of research in network communication culture and digital etiquette within higher education. By identifying key themes and trends, the study deepens our understanding of the development of this field and its interdisciplinary nature. Practical significance . The research provides valuable insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers in higher education regarding strategies for enhancing online communication practices and digital etiquette.

The study is aimed at identifying and predicting factors that positively or negatively affect the attitudes of future teachers-philologists about the use of artificial intelligence technology for learning and teaching. Based on the components of the technology adoption model, the authors developed a questionnaire for Kazakh students of the pedagogical specialty studying at Abai University. The results of the survey confirm the high intention of future teachers to the use of AI applications for learning and teaching. Self-efficacy, anxiety, expected benefit, and ease of use were considered as factors.

This study aims to examine the effects of the “Unlocking Research & Innovative Capability” program for university teachers. A total of 80 teachers from the [BLINDED] University were enrolled. All participants were divided into groups based on their age and teaching experience. Data were collected via surveys. The proposed program was found to have different effects across groups. Young university teachers (28 to 35 years; teaching experience, 3 to 5 years) exhibited improvement in all research and innovative capability variables, ranging from 0.84 in Interdisciplinary Cooperation to 2.63 in Innovative Teaching. The same is true for early middle-aged university teachers (36 to 45 years; teaching experience, 5 to 10 years) who showed improvement ranging from 1.52 in Interdisciplinary Cooperation to 3.00 in Integration of Technology. Older middle-aged university teachers (46 to 55 years; teaching experience, 10 to 20 years) exhibited improvement in their Innovative Teaching, Research Practice, and Integration of Technology; yet, it did not exceed 1.85 points. Older university teachers (older than 56 years; teaching experience, 20 years) demonstrated minimal improvement in all dimensions. This study was conducted as part of governmental research on "Managing the Development of Research & Innovative Capability in the Research University Staff under the Participatory Management Model" launched by the RK Ministry of Education and Science (Project number: AR14872123). The study emphasizes the importance of empowering university teachers as key drivers of research, knowledge generation, and innovative teaching. The present findings can be used to cultivate a culture of innovation and research in academic institutions.
