This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the author's teaching technology in developing schoolchildren's research skills, the challenges an elementary school faces, and how the entire process of developing research skills works. Quantitative and qualitative research techniques were used. Participants were from No.15, No.1, No.46, and No.16 schools in Ust-Kamenogorsk (East Kazakhstan). A random selection was made of an EG comprising 176 students and a CG comprising 173 students. To test the hypothesis that the author's teaching technology in studying natural science fosters the effectiveness of generating research skills, the research methodology employed an experimental pretest-posttest learning CG and EG study. As a result of the introduction of the developed technology in the EG, the levels of formation of these skills among students from the CG and the EG differ significantly. Finally, the developed technology can be used in the practical activities of teachers in elementary schools and serve as the basis for creating methodological materials that perform the developing function of teaching "Natural Science.

Although the use of mobile technologies in education is rapidly becoming widespread, there are limited findings about the attitudes, competencies and acceptance behaviors of prospective teachers who use and will use these technologies. However, prospective teachers will be the implementers of new technologies such as mobile learning in education when they start their teaching profession in the future. In this study, it was aimed to examine prospective teachers' attitudes towards mobile learning and their mobile learning acceptance behaviors in terms of some variables. The study was conducted by cross-sectional survey method with the participation of prospective teachers studying at two universities in Kazakhstan. The study was composed of 260 prospective teachers at different grade levels. According to the findings of the study, the acceptance behaviors of prospective teachers towards mobile technologies were found to be moderate, while their attitudes towards these technologies were found to be positive and high. In the study, it was found that prospective teachers' attitudes towards mobile learning and mobile learning acceptance behaviors showed significant differences according to gender and grade level. Finally, it was found that attitudes towards mobile learning predicted mobile learning acceptance behaviors significantly and positively in Kazakhstani prospective teachers

The aim of this study is to investigate how comprehensive neurobiology training influences the neuroeducational literacy of prospective Kazakhstani teachers. This study used mixed methods. The study had 216 participants. The findings indicated that the study participants found it difficult to identify the factors influencing the development of their neuroeducational literacy which indicated a lack of understanding by prospective teachers of the meaning of neuroeducation as well as the essence and features of neuroeducation. The neuroeducational literacy of the participants developed linearly and was integrated into the educational practice of the pedagogical university during the experiment. The use of the author's comprehensive instructions on neurobiology significantly increased neuroeducational literacy and also contributed to the professional development and successful educational practices of prospective teachers. These results make a practical contribution to research on the development of neuroeducational literacy among prospective teachers and can be implemented in pedagogical universities representing a new direction in preparing future specialists for neuroeducational activities.

World experience shows that musical art significantly affects the psycho-emotional, moral, aesthetic and cultural-moral state of a person, as evidenced by a large number of interesting facts and scientific papers. The relevance of the research problem in this article lies in the need to generalize and systematize theoretical and practical knowledge related to the problem of predicting the influence of music on the psycho-emotional and physical state of a person. The article discusses the question of what effect music has on the psycho-emotional state of the student and his creative abilities. For this purpose, a short-term study was conducted with students. In the course of the study, the method «Music Graphics» was used. Music graphics are a unique way of visualizing by creating the impression of music through any visual media. The study studied the impact of various musical styles, including classical music, modern and rock music, on the psycho-emotional state of a person. As a result of the study, it was found that all styles of music affect the psycho-emotional state and creative abilities of students in different ways, and it was concluded that classical works and modern music had a positive effect, in particular, there was an improvement in mood, and listening to rock music had a negative effect on the psycho-emotional state of a person. Key words: music, psychology, psycho-emotional state, classical music, rock music, modern music.

This study aimed to describe the profile of professional collaboration among students in teacher-education programmes and to examine whether readiness for further collaboration is associated with prior experience. The work was conducted within a university grant of Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University and implemented as a descriptive–comparative study based on a posttest cross-sectional snapshot with no baseline measurement. Data were collected via Google Forms from 91 students of the Department of Primary Education (Years 1–4). The questionnaire covered collaboration experience (yes/no), frequency of participation in joint projects, perceived value of collaboration (1–5), perceived impact on the learning experience, readiness to participate in joint research/projects in the future (1–5), and open-ended questions on motivations, barriers, and expected university support. Prior collaboration experience was reported by 40.7% of respondents; participation was predominantly irregular (48.4% “never”, 44.0% “rarely”). Perceived value was high (M = 4.05, SD = 1.15; Me = 4), and most respondents reported a positive contribution to their learning experience (75.8%). Readiness for future participation was moderately high (levels 4–5: 52.7%). A Mann–Whitney test indicated higher readiness among students with prior collaboration experience (U = 1288, p = 0.016, r = 0.29). Thematic grouping of open-ended responses showed that knowledge sharing and mutual support were the dominant motivations, while organisational/time and communication barriers were most frequently mentioned; the most commonly requested support measures included regular joint events and support for student communities. Findings are interpreted as a descriptive snapshot rather than causal evidence. The results may inform the design of facilitated collaboration formats and subsequent monitoring of student readiness.

Comparative studies of national values are becoming increasingly important in contemporary globalization processes. An essential condition for shaping national values in learners is the enrichment of pedagogical technology with components of digital technology. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used in this study. This research aims to examine the efficacy of mobile learning in shaping the national values of prospective teachers. 180 participants participated in this study. Diagnostics of the levels of national values formation in the initial stage confirmed the assumption about the low formation of national values among teacher candidates and, consequently, the need for targeted work on their formation. This study demonstrates that significant advances in students' national values have occurred following the introduction and testing of mobile learning with EG participants to shape national values. This study serves as the basis for creating strategies for shaping the national values of learners in universities and as a methodological basis for adapting mobile learning for the shaping of national values.
