In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, possessing digitalization competency is paramount for educators, as it enables them to effectively navigate the digital realm and engage with students in innovative ways. The global digitization of education contributes to a transformation in the context of competencies for higher education instructors. The objective of the current study is to ascertain the impact of this model on the development of competencies in contemporary educators and the enhancement of their skills. The research sample comprised 84 educators from the Karaganda Buketov University, who were categorized into two groups: control and experimental. Measurements of critical thinking levels (Critical Thinking Test Level I, CTT-I) and digital literacy (DigCompEdu CheckIn1) were administered to both groups before and after the program. Participants in the proprietary module constituted the sample of educators in the experimental group. The correlation of results indicates significant differences between the groups’ indicators before and after the module implementation. The positive dynamics of dependent variables resulting from the model implementation attest to the effectiveness of the current program in the context of developing educators’ critical thinking (p = 4.03 for critical thinking) and (p = 1.42 for digital literacy). In other words, the implementation of the model for the development of professional competencies among educators, based on the examined educational institution in Kazakhstan, enhances the critical thinking and digital literacy of educators. The practical application of this research lies in implementing this module as part of a systematic approach to competency development for educators in universities.

We carried out research of bioactive substances obtained from ethanol extract (70%). This ethanol extract (70%) was obtained by us from the aerial parts of Tamarix plants (Т.laxa Willd., T.hispida Willd., T.ramosissima Ledeb. and Т.еlongatа Ledeb.). These plants belong to the family of Tamaricaceae which grow on the territory of Kazakhstan. For the preliminary separation of bioactive substances, the fractional extraction of ethanol extracts (70%) of Tamarix species was carried out using chloroform and ethyl acetate. Chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts contained terpenoids (positive reactions with Lieberman-Burchard reagent and cerium sulfate). Isolation of terpenoids from chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts was achieved by a series of separations on chromatography column over silica gel and these terpenoids were eluted with gradient mixture of hexaneethylacetate (0-100%). From the aerial parts of Tamarix (Т.laxa Willd., T.hispida Willd., T.ramosissima Ledeb., Т.еlongatа Ledeb) five terpenoids were isolated. Their structures of 1-5 were found using alkaline hydrolysis and UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR, COSY-45˚, HMQC, HMBC, EIMS, FABMS (-ve) spectral analyses. Pentacyclic triterpenoids: ursolic acid (1), 3β-al-D- friedoolean-14-en-28-oic acid methyl ether(2), 3-α-[3´´,4´´-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamoyloxy]-D-friedoolean-14-en-28-oic acids (isotamarixen) (3),3-α-hydroxy-D-friedoolean-14-en-28-oic acid (4) and 3-α-[4´´-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamoyloxy]-Dfriedoolean -14-en-28-oic acid (5) were isolated from the aerial parts of Tamarix. Ethanol extracts (70%), chloroform, ethylacetate extracts from Tamarix laxa, Tamarix elongata showed antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activities were determined using the DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical) scavenging method. Ethanol extracts from Tamarix hispida (50%) were found to contain the triterpenoid: 3-α-[3´´,4´´-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamoyloxy]-D-friedoolean-14-en-28-oic acids (isotamarixen), which were tested in vitro for their effect on the α-glycosidase enzyme activity. 3-α-[3´´, 4´´-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamoyloxy]-D-friedoolean-14-en-28-oic showed inhibiting effect on the α-glycosidase enzyme activity and was found to be a potent antioxidant.
