Despite significant progress in female representation in academic settings, gender <br />imbalance in educational leadership remains a critical global challenge. Through analysis of contemporary <br />theoretical and applied research from American, European, and Asian institutions with varying levels of economic <br />development, the study identifies key barriers to women’s advancement in academic leadership. These include <br />cultural factors (entrenched gender norms and male-dominated institutional cultures), psychological barriers <br />(imposter syndrome and leadership anxiety), and organizational obstacles (glass ceiling phenomena and biased <br />hiring practices). The research highlights the particular challenges in Kazakhstan, where women constitute <br />only 26.5 percent of top university leadership despite their substantial representation among higher education <br />professionals. By examining global best practices and Kazakhstan’s specific context, the study identifies effective <br />Innovative Approaches including institutional initiatives, structured networking opportunities, formalized <br />mentoring programs, and family-supportive policies. Based on this analysis, the research proposes forwardthinking interventions for Kazakhstan’s higher education sector: implementing targeted leadership development <br />programs, enhancing transparency in human resource policies, creating innovative work-life balance solutions, <br />and establishing robust professional networks for women academics. These innovative approaches aim to <br />address persistent gender disparities while creating sustainable pathways for women’s leadership advancement <br />in higher education. The analysis emphasizes the importance of comprehensive, context-sensitive strategies that <br />adapt proven innovative practices to local educational environments.</p> <p> The study of global experience has also made it possible to propose measures that can be adapted for the Kazakhstani context. The article emphasizes the importance of these strategic measures to address gender inequalities and strengthen a comprehensive approach that includes institutional support, leadership skills development and the elimination of gender stereotypes. The results of the study emphasize the need to introduce structured approaches to support women leaders that contribute to the implementation of international commitments to achieve gender equality in the educational environment.</p> Актолкын Кулсариева, Sandugash KUDAIBERGENOVA Copyright (c) 2025 Pedagogy and Psychology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1866 Mon, 17 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0600 CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF DEVELOPING ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY IN THE CONTEXT OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1868 <p style="font-weight: 400;">In the context of the global economy and digital transformation, universities play a key role in the formation of entrepreneurial competencies among students. This work is aimed at researching the theoretical foundations that ensure the development of entrepreneurial activity in the educational environment of universities. The main attention is paid to the analysis of models and concepts such as the theory of entrepreneurial opportunities, the theory of social capital, the triple helix model, as well as the latest approaches to the development of entrepreneurial competence. The results demonstrate that the integration of these theories into educational programs contributes to the development of students' analytical thinking, innovative approach and social skills. The findings of the study emphasize the importance of creating a comprehensive ecosystem of entrepreneurial education that allows universities to prepare a new generation of entrepreneurs adapted to modern challenges.</p> Yerlan Sabdenbekov, MEHMET АKIF SÖZER Copyright (c) 2025 Pedagogy and Psychology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1868 Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0600 EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE OF DEVELOPING INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1882 <p>This study examines the educational practices for developing intercultural communication competencies <br />in higher education institutions within the context of unprecedented global interconnectedness. Contemporary <br />higher education environments, characterized by increasing international student mobility and digital <br />connectivity, present both significant opportunities and challenges for intercultural engagement. The research <br />investigates pedagogical approaches that facilitate effective intercultural communication skills acquisition <br />among university students, analyzing their impact on cultural identity formation and preservation. Through <br />a mixed-methods approach combining survey data from master’s students (n=44) and theoretical framework <br />analysis, this paper identifies key challenges in cross-cultural educational settings and proposes evidence-based <br />interventions. Findings indicate that establishing dedicated intercultural communication centers, implementing <br />culturally responsive teaching methodologies, and developing comprehensive assessment criteria significantly <br />enhance students’ intercultural competence. The study contributes to the scholarship on educational innovation <br />by demonstrating how structured pedagogical practices can foster intercultural skills while simultaneously <br />preserving cultural diversity. This research has implications for curriculum development, institutional <br />internationalization strategies, and educational policy in multicultural higher education contexts.</p> Gulzhahan Tazhitova, D.K.

The research examines the recently implemented four-stage assessment system conducted by secondary <br />schools, psychological-medical-pedagogical counselling centers, and rehabilitation centers. A distinctive feature <br />of Kazakhstan’s approach is the team-based assessment methodology that mandates participation of subject <br />teachers, special educators, speech therapists, and educational psychologists regardless of location. Notably, <br />specialists select assessment tasks independently based on children’s age and educational standards, as the <br />government has not established standardized assessment tools. To evaluate the effectiveness of these practices, <br />we conducted a comprehensive mixed-methods study involving surveys and interviews with professionals <br />actively implementing these assessment procedures. The research sample included 20 psychological, medical <br />and pedagogical councils and 63 secondary schools, with a total of 186 respondents (135 primary school teachers <br />from inclusive education institutions and 51 specialists from psychological, medical and pedagogical councils). <br />Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 teachers to obtain more detailed insights. The findings <br />reveal both strengths and limitations of the current assessment practices in Kazakhstan, providing valuable <br />insights into how secondary schools and specialized organizations select and implement assessment methods. <br />This analysis contributes to understanding the practical implementation of the socio-educational model and <br />identifies areas for potential improvement in the assessment system for children with SEN in Kazakhstan.</p> Laura Shotybayeva, V.V KHITRYUK Copyright (c) 2025 Pedagogy and Psychology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1815 Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0600 VALUES FORMATION IN SCHOOLCHILDREN THROUGH GLOBAL STRATEGIC STUDIES: QUANTITATIVE STUDY RESULTS https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1871 <p>This study examines the impact of geopolitical education in the school geography curriculum on students’ <br />cognitive development, practical skills, and value formation. A structured questionnaire was used to assess <br />students’ understanding of fundamental geopolitical concepts, their ability to analyze international processes, <br />and their perceptions of key values such as tolerance, responsibility, and civic awareness. The collected data <br />were analyzed using statistical software to objectively assess the level of learning and identify patterns in <br />students’ responses. The results indicate that students demonstrate strong retention of knowledge and high <br />levels of engagement in geopolitical topics, but there are challenges in the practical application of acquired <br />skills. The study highlights the importance of integrating geopolitics into education to prepare students for <br />informed participation in global affairs. By strengthening decision-making competencies and promoting <br />ethical perspectives, geopolitical education can contribute to the development of responsible citizens capable <br />of addressing contemporary international challenges. The results point to the need for interactive learning <br />approaches, including discussions, simulations, and case studies, to strengthen students’ ability to critically <br />evaluate geopolitical scenarios. The study also highlights the need for a well-structured curriculum that combines <br />theoretical knowledge with practical learning to enhance students’ preparedness for future challenges.</p> Nazira Myrzaly , Wendt Jan Andrzej, R.G.

This <br />study is aimed at identifying opportunities for integrating national values into the process of forming soft skills <br />in primary school students. The analysis of educational strategies of the countries (Finland, Japan, South Korea, <br />USA, China, India) is carried out and the experience of the Republic of Kazakhstan in this context is considered. <br />The key national values of Kazakhstan (language, traditions, family values, historical memory, national games, <br />religious and spiritual norms, respect for nature) and their impact on the development of soft skills such as critical <br />thinking, emotional intelligence, communicative and social abilities are identified. The research is based on the <br />methods of conceptual analysis, comparative analysis of educational systems, and methods of systematization <br />and classification. In the course of the work, effective pedagogical methods were identified, including projectbased learning with an ethnocultural component, role-playing, mentoring, folk games and the study of national <br />literature. The results of the study confirm that the inclusion of national values in the educational process not <br />only promotes the development of soft skills, but also strengthens the national identity of students, making their <br />education more meaningful and appropriate to the socio-cultural context of Kazakhstan. The results obtained <br />can be useful for teachers, methodologists and developers of educational programs when creating innovative <br />methods for the formation of soft skills in younger schoolchildren.</p> Maira ABDURAKHMANOVA, Gulbanu SADUAKAS, Özlem Baş Copyright (c) 2025 Pedagogy and Psychology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1877 Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0600 DIGITAL COMPETENCE AS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGISTS IN KAZAKHSTAN https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1873 <p>This article investigates the problems and prospects of formation of digital competence in the professional <br />training of educational psychologists in Kazakhstan. Modern conditions of digitalization require from teacherpsychologists not only traditional knowledge and skills, but also effective use of digital technologies. It is <br />established that the level of digital competence of students of the educational program “Pedagogy and Psychology” <br />differs from the level of acting school psychologists, which is due to differences in the conditions of training and <br />professional practice. Particular attention is paid to the need to develop specialized educational programs that <br />take into account the peculiarities of the use of digital technologies in the diagnosis and correction of student <br />behavior. The study revealed the main problems, including the insufficient level of digital training, limited use <br />of modern technologies, and the lack of a unified approach to assessing the digital competence of educational <br />psychologists. Based on the results of questionnaires and interviews with students, school psychologists and <br />experts, recommendations for improving educational standards and programs were proposed. The key result of <br />the work was the development of a model for the development of digital competence, which includes stages from <br />the diagnosis of skills to their practical implementation. The presented recommendations are aimed at improving <br />the quality of professional training of educational psychologists, their competitiveness and ability to adapt to the <br />requirements of the digital era. The importance of creating a sustainable support system is emphasized, including <br />mentoring programs, professional communities and access to innovative educational resources.

The structure of the model is represented by four <br />interconnected and interdependent components: the target component (determining the strategic direction <br />of the process), the content component (revealing cognitive, emotional-regulatory, and behavioral blocks of <br />stress resilience development), the technological component (represented by a system of adaptive-preventive <br />technologies), and the performance-evaluation component (including criteria and levels for assessing stress <br />resilience). Special attention is given to innovative adaptive-preventive technologies as the instrumental basis <br />for developing stress resilience, including: monitoring of psycho-emotional states, interactive trainings and <br />virtual simulators, intelligent systems for filtering information flow, and workshops on digital hygiene. The study <br />identifies and scientifically substantiates pedagogical conditions for developing students’ stress resilience in a <br />university’s digital educational environment: creating a psychologically safe digital educational environment; <br />integrating health-preserving technologies into the digital educational process; providing psychological and <br />pedagogical support for students; and developing adaptive capabilities of learners in the digital educational <br />space. The proposed model ensures systematicity, continuity, and effectiveness in the process of developing <br />stress resilience, contributing to the development of students’ competencies for effective functioning in a digital <br />educational environment while maintaining psychological well-being.</p> Nurlan TAJIMURATOV, Irina KOLEVA Copyright (c) 2025 Pedagogy and Psychology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1928 Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0600 PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK https://journal-pedpsy.kaznpu.kz/index.php/ped/article/view/1846 <p>The article examines the theoretical foundations of professional identity formation among future primary school teachers. Based on scholarly literature analysis, professional identity is defined as an integrative personal formation characterized by conscious acceptance of pedagogical values, professional norms, and behavioral models. The paper presents a comparative analysis of three key theoretical approaches to studying this phenomenon: Personal Interpretative Framework (PIF) theory, Korthagen's "Onion Model" concept of professional development, and Day &amp; Kington's theory of professional, situational, and personal identity. Through comparative analysis, common conceptual provisions and specific features of the examined theoretical constructs are identified in the context of primary education teacher preparation. The significance of this work lies in the potential application of the identified theoretical principles in developing methodologies for forming professional identity of future primary school teachers during their professional training.</p> Нургуль .
