Status of hunting resources in the area of the Nezhdaninskoye gold deposit
Authors: Onokhov A. A. , Kolodeznikov V. E. , Velichenko V. V. , Ohlopkov I. I.
Published: January 2025

The Nezhdaninskoye gold deposit is located in southern Verkhoyansk, in the valley of the Tyra River (the right tributary of the Aldan River). The field was actively developed from 1974 to 1998. Development of Nezhdaninskoye was resumed in 2019, when the field completely came under the control of Polymetal JSC. During the entire period of development of the field, no work was carried out to assess the impact of the enterprise on the environmental conditions of the habitat of commercial mammals in the region. In 2022, M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, commissioned by Polymetal JSC, conducted research on the species diversity and abundance of commercial mammals in the area affected by the Nezhdaninsky mining and processing complex. The main тarget of the research was to assess the direct and indirect impact of gold mining activities on the number and distribution of commercial mammals. A study of the diversity and abundance of hunting mammals in the vicinity of the Nezhdaninsky gold deposit did not reveal significant differences in these indicators with the hunting grounds of the Tomponsky ulus (district) not affected by anthropogenic impact. In forested areas, the animal population density was higher than in open biotopes. It was found that the impact of the activities of the mining enterprise is local in nature, which is facilitated by the rugged terrain and a special operating mode that does not require workers to be outside the enterprise. The location of a mining enterprise does not have a significant negative impact on the number of most species of game animals living in adjacent areas. For economically valuable animal species, direct persecution remains a more significant limiting factor reducing numbers.
Parameters of internal gravity waves based on observations of noctilucent clouds in Yakutsk
Authors: Nikolashkin S. V. , Koltovskoi I. I. , Titov S. V. , Tyschuk O. V.
Published: January 2025

Noctilucent clouds (polar mesospheric clouds) are clusters of ice crystals 10–100 µm in size at an altitude of 80–85 km, only a few kilometers thick, illuminated by the sun's rays. A characteristic feature of noctilucent clouds is that they are observed from Earth only in relatively narrow latitudinal belts of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are a visible indicator of wave processes in the upper atmosphere. The use of modern methods of observation and data processing allows us to track their evolution and, based on these parameters, study the main dynamic characteristics of the upper atmosphere - wind speed and direction, atmospheric-gravity waves and try to establish their sources. The article presents the results of a study of the features of the parameters of internal gravity waves based on observations of noctilucent clouds. Photographic observations were carried out using digital cameras and a phone camera. Using synchronous triangulation observations with identical cameras in Yakutsk and Oktemtsy, it was possible to measure the height of noctilucent clouds. Rare cases of propagation of different types of waves and their parameters are analysed: wavelengths, speeds and directions of their propagation. A case of observation of noctilucent clouds associated with the so-called mesospheric bore is also described - a prominent wave front propagating along a waveguide channel and visually separating the glow region already involved in the wave process from the region in which oscillations have not yet arisen. It is assumed that the sources of wave disturbances are atmospheric fronts and air mass flow around mountain ranges.
Study of kidney tumour samples using IR-spectroscopy: testing the tumour ‘explosive growth’ hypothesis
Authors: Pavlov A. N. , Maksimov A. V. , Mamaeva S. N. , Maximov G. V.
Published: January 2025

Approximately 210-250 thousand new cases of renal cell cancer (RCC) are registered annually in the world, which is 2-3% in the structure of malignant neoplasms in adults. In Russia, among tumours of the urogenital system, RCC ranks 2nd after malignant neoplasms of the prostate gland and 1-3rd in terms of the growth rate of morbidity. According to numerous studies, the growth rate of kidney tumour is on average 2.5 mm per year. However, it has been observed that when patients undergo surgical resection of a renal tumour, they are often found to have masses that are significantly larger than those predicted. The reasons and mechanisms for this dramatic increase in the size of renal masses remain unclear at this time. In this regard, the ‘explosive’ growth of renal tumours has been suggested. In this paper, haematoma fluid (HF) samples from different sites of renal tumour, obtained directly from the tumour during surgery to remove the mass, are analysed by infrared spectroscopy to study the changes occurring in blood clots from the time of haematoma formation in order to assess the ‘age’ of the tumour. It is assumed that in the case of ‘explosive growth’ of the tumour there is simultaneous formation of tumour hematomas located in different parts of the tumour. The IR spectra of HL samples from tumours of different patients, as well as HL from different tumour sites of the same patient were compared in terms of the height of intensity of transmittance peaks at selected wave numbers corresponding to fluctuations of proteins such as fibrinogen and haemoglobin, as well as lipids. The study of the peaks responsible for fluctuations in the deoxygenated state of haemoglobin, methemoglobin and other proteins, lipids and structural changes in these compounds revealed statistically significant differences in the peak area of fibrinogen fluctuations in the spectra of samples from different patients and controls. In addition, correlation analysis between tumour size and the intensity of the peak responsible for fibrinogen νPO oscillations indirectly confirmed the hypothesis of ‘explosive growth’ of renal tumour. Thus, the results obtained in this work confirm that the IR spectroscopy method can be used in tumour ‘age’ studies, and the causes and mechanisms of the abrupt increase in the size of renal masses can be explained by the hypothesis of tumour ‘explosive growth’.
Linguocultural characteristics of toponyms of the Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido
Authors: Androsov S. S. , Permyakova T. N.
Published: January 2025

The article attempts to reveal the linguocultural characteristic of toponyms of the Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido. In the theoretical part the authors review the scientific apparatus on the problem of toponyms in general linguistics, cite the existing classifications of toponyms by such researchers as A. V. Superanskaya, E. M. Chernyakhovskaya, N. V. Podolskaya and others. Of particular interest is the practical part of the study, where the authors analyse the toponyms of Hokkaido prefecture from the point of view of the relationship between language and culture. The material for the practical part was the names of toponyms from the Google maps service, as well as information from the official website of Hokkaido Prefecture. The authors, referring to the classification of N. V. Podolskaya, divided 100 toponyms into their types: insulonyms, hydronyms, oikonyms, oronyms, carried out their linguocultural analysis, revealed 16 toponyms of Japanese origin and 84 toponyms of Ainu origin, which indicates that the Japanese during the development of Hokkaido tried to preserve the original names of geographical objects. As a result of the analysis of toponymic nominations of Hokkaido prefecture, the authors come to the conclusion that different toponymic layers and types of geographical names, which emerged at different times, have physical and geographical features and a number of other factors, still have similar features in the names of heterogeneous languages. The main one is the formation of toponyms from the physical and geographical features of the place of residence, flora and fauna. In addition, another characteristic of the toponyms of Hokkaido Prefecture is the distortion of indigenous place names when fixed by Japanese pioneers, so when adapting Ainu toponyms, the original name is changed.
Dialectal phraseological units of the Yakut language: structure and semantics
Authors: Gotovtseva L. M.
Published: January 2025

The article describes dialectal phraseological units (DFU) as an integral part of the Yakut language lexicon. Dialect phraseology has remained a "blank spot" in the study of the dialectology of the Yakut language. Currently, there is a need to collect DFU and systematise them. The relevance of the work is explained by the need for a systematic study of dialectal phraseological units of the Yakut language in the aspect of studying the structure and semantic references. An integrated method is used to solve the tasks set in the work. The selection of DFU from lexicographic sources was carried out by the method of continuous sampling and semantic identification; a descriptive method with methods of systematics, observation, generalisation was used; component analysis based on the establishment of integral and differential features in comparison of one unit with another. The purpose of the study is a linguistic description of the structure and semantics of dialectal phraseological units of the Yakut language. The objectives of the work include: to review the current state of the study of DFU; to give a lexical and grammatical characteristic of DFU and systematise them into semantic and thematic groups; to establish relations between dialectal and literary phraseological units; to outline the most important aspects of its study. The analysis showed that, according to the grammatical structure, DFU, like literary FU, are created according to models of free phrases and sentences. There are substantive, adjectival, adverbial, verbal, quantitative, interjective FU. These categories of phraseological units, being nominative units, call this or that phenomenon of reality, the realities of everyday life, relevant to the dialect speaker. Semantic-thematic groups cover various aspects of the speaker's activity, describing a person, his actions, deeds, lifestyle, attitude to other people, work, etc. The connections and relationships between dialectal and literary phraseological units are manifested in variation, synonymy, as well as in the relationship between the meanings of polysemous FU. The dialectal FU reflects the way of life of the inhabitants of the region, their perception of the world, and mentality.

Authors: Okorokova M. P. , Nikiforova D. N.
Published: January 2025

In the modern world, political literacy of young people is becoming one of the most important factors determining their active participation in socio-political life. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that young people, representing a significant part of the population, often face problems of low political awareness, which affects their activity and influence on the processes taking place in the country. The purpose of this study is to analyze the main problems that affect the formation of political literacy of young people. The main findings show that a low level of political literacy negatively affects the degree of involvement of young people in political processes, which requires the development of effective educational programs and initiatives aimed at raising their awareness. Prospects for further research include the need for a thorough study of the influence of mass media on the formation of political literacy of young people, as well as the development of new approaches to educational strategies that could contribute to more active participation of young people in political life. The authors propose various forms of work with young people to improve the level of political literacy of young people (holding debates and election simulations, involving young   people in volunteer initiatives and projects aimed at solving social problems).

Пожалуй, самая глубинная из кардинальных сущностей отечественной музыки начала XX века состояла в движении к истокам бытия. Подразумевается художественное освоение корневой системы существования мира и человека, стремление проникнуть в изначальные пласты жизненной материи. Данный процесс получил самое разноплановое преломление. Возникшее устремление к субстанции извечной, даже вселенской c восхождением к категориям всеприродного и надвременндго означало устремление к макрокосмосу. Один из путей постижения макрокосмоса пролегал через воплощение образов природы, которая начинает рассматриваться не только как фактор, сопутствующий жизни людей, но и как нечто самоценное, выходящее за рамки человеческого мира, что в пределе вело к пантеизму. Иная форма соприкосновений с макрокосмосом была связана с постижением надвременны х категорий, что не раз происходило в лучших образцах духовной музыки, которая пережила в начале XX века свой ренессанс, а также в формах органного необарокко...

Perhaps the deepest of the cardinal essences of Russian music of the early XX century was the movement to the origins of life. It implies the artistic development of the root system of existence of the world and man, the desire to penetrate into the original layers of life matter. This process has received the most diverse refraction. The resulting aspiration to the eternal substance, even universal c climbing to the categories of natural and naturalnogo meant the aspiration to the macrocosm. One of the ways to comprehend the macrocosm was through the embodiment of images of nature, which begins to be considered not only as a factor accompanying people's lives, but also as something self-valuable, beyond the human world, which in the limit led to pantheism. A different form of contact with the macrocosm was associated with the comprehension of the above-time categories, which happened more than once in the best examples of spiritual music, which experienced its Renaissance at the beginning of the XX century, as well as in the forms of organ neo-Baroque...

Authors: Timofeev A. A. , Anisimov A. Yu.
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of existing opportunities and directions for evaluating the effectiveness  of organizations using the resource-cost method (static model), Pareto optimality and the dynamic standard method (dynamic model). The purpose of the study was to identify the content of alternative approaches and models used by consulting companies to determine the effectiveness of organizations that produce and sell goods and services. The methodology described in the article is based on neoclassical economic theory. In the course of the work, a conceptual analysis of significant scientific alternatives to static and dynamic models for assessing economic efficiency was carried out. Any of them (or a combination of them), as established by the authors of the study, can be equally applied in the activities of all economic entities, including consulting companies. The results obtained include the definition of a set of  methodological tools within the framework of the resource-cost method, the Paretian optimum and the dynamic standard  method; substantiation of the equivalence and mutual complementarity of scientific model alternatives to efficiency, the interaction of the process and the result of efficiency assessment based on the principle of complementarity; evaluation  of the organization’s activities in a static efficiency model as an example of the implementation of the principle of  complementarity. The results of the study can be applied both in the practice of management consulting and regular management of the organization.
Hyperlocal marketing: conceptual representation status, technological foundations and directions of development.
Authors: Griva E. V. , Sidorov A. A.
Published: January 2025

Hyperlocal marketing is a modern format of interacting with customers in the offline segment of retail and services, aimed at increasing sales by optimising strategies for promoting specific products. In conditions of market saturation, traditional marketing methods become less effective, so the use of new approaches allows companies to attract customers on a point-to-point basis and adapt their offers to specific locations and audience needs. Over the past decade, interest in hyperlocal marketing as a business development tool has grown in Russia, and at the same time it has become almost entirely expressed exclusively in practical terms. Its scientific implementation has not yet been recorded. The purpose of this study is to systematise the existing concepts and technologies in the field of hyperlocal marketing in order to identify its current state and prospects for development. Within the framework of the defined vector, both the technological prerequisites and requirements of this tool for ensuring the basic process in the field of offline retailing are considered, and an empirical basis for the inductive-deductive analysis of the subject field for the formation of patterns of consumer behaviour management and optimisation of the marketing policy of business agents is formed. In the course of the work, it was found that hyperlocal marketing in retail is highly dependent on the development of the Internet of Things (IoT). The use of such technologies can improve customer interaction, increase service levels and predict consumer behaviour patterns. Based on the considered instrumental and technological solutions discussed above, companies are able to create personalised marketing strategies and optimise business processes to maximise profits.
Agent-based model for forecasting the impact of the population life quality on migration movement in the context of the Russian Federation federal districts.
Authors: Nizamutdinov M. M. , Davletova Z. A.
Published: January 2025

The Russian Federation is characterized by an extremely uneven distribution of the population across the country, which contributes to the asymmetry of economic and socio-demographic development of the regions, a shortage of qualified specialists for the development of the resources of Siberia and the Far East, and an increase in global risks in general.  In this regard, the use of modern management technologies, in particular, multi-agent simulation modeling, to support decision-making on managing migration processes becomes relevant. Since the main incentive for active citizens to change their place of residence is investing in the development of the region and providing the necessary conditions for a comfortable life, the purpose of the study is to develop an agent-based model for forecasting the impact of the population life quality on migration flows between the federal districts of the Russian Federation. One of the tasks solved using the model is to track the direction of migrant movement relative to the Republic of Bashkortostan when changing the controlled parameters. The simulation model was designed using modern CASE tools; UML diagrams and a mnemonic diagram of the decision-making support process for managing the demographic development of the region were built in the course of the work. Scenario experiments were conducted to predict changes in the population size in the study areas. Within the framework of the research, the authors applied the object-oriented methodology of simulation model design, agent-based approach for its implementation, as well as an agent-oriented approach for its implementation and statistical analysis methods when setting up experiments. The toolkit developed as a result of the study can be used by the representatives of executive authorities and government officials to develop a balanced resettlement policy, assess the possibility and conditions for developing regions of the Russian Federation with low population density.

Authors: Salin D. S. , Vittenbeck N. V.
Published: January 2025

In the context of digital economy business is increasingly choosing the ecosystem model of development, which leads to scientific interest in the formation of new approaches to human resource management (HRM). The role of human capital within business ecosystems is growing; both internal and external participants create its value to the organization. Many stakeholders get involved in working out HRM solutions, including managers, employees, HR specialists, ecosystem partners, suppliers and HR services providers. With a view of co-creating value and enhancing business competitiveness in the market, there comes a need for the formation of HRM ecosystems integrating necessary resources. The aim of the research is to determine the characteristic features and structural model of HRM ecosystems in the context of business digitalization. Currently, HRM ecosystems are at an early stage of formation and represent technocratic models in the form of a «marketplace» of multiple HR tools, which constitutes the risk of their overloading and turning into a “patchwork” of digital technologies. The emerging transition towards human-centric HRM ecosystems shifts the focus from technologies to strategic business goals and people’s well-being in the working place. The scientific result of the research is the identification of technocratic and human-centric HRM ecosystems distinctive features as well as the suggestion of a structural model-in transit, comprising humanitarian and technological components. Within the research, there were used general scientific methods of comparison, analysis, generalization, as well as scientific interpretation of the authors’ theoretical and practical experience. The research outcomes may be of interest to scientific and business communities in terms of developing the methodology of the ecosystem approach to HRM in the context of business digitalization.
Methodology for managing employee performance in modern commercial organizations.
Authors: Samatoev A. T.
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to create a method for managing the productivity of employees of a commercial organization and assess its potential effectiveness through theoretical modeling of the result. The principle of the method is based on the iterative redistribution or reallocation of the employees among the company’s departments or structural units taking into account the current and potential changes in order to increase their labor productivity. Modelling analysis was performed using the retrospective data of the commercial organization — the period under consideration was equal to   39 months. The calculation assessed the dependence of changes on two indicators that noticeably affect the results: the number of cities where the company is present and the number of positions available in the company; it also determined the likely effect of the increase in labour productivity of employees when using the method. The influence of quantity of job positions and cities where company operates on the final result was also determined. The modeling carried out allows to draw a conclusion about the potential effectiveness of this approach, especially for organizations with one or in the same location and/or employing a large number of people performing similar functions, as it does not require significant financial outlays. The content and the results of the work presented in the article will be of interest to both HR practitioners and representatives of the scientific sphere.
Construction of an Indonesian Biographical Novel: Based on Reader Reception of Buya Hamka’s Biographical Novel
Authors: Abimubarok Achmad , Hikmat Ade , Suryoputro Gunawan
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Research on biographical novels is mostly focused on how novelists represent figures as protagonists, but they have not explored what the contents of the novel would be like if they used the same figure. In addition, there is no research that constructs the characteristics of biographical novels in Indonesia. This study aims to answer the assumption whether biographical novels present different characteristics even though they emanate from the same figure. Through the Buya Hamka’s biographical novel, this study also leads the efforts to delineate the characteristics of the biographical novel in Indonesia. In order to obtain more objective evidence and constructs, readers’ reception is used as an analytical perspective. In addition, netnography is adopted as a research method because the utilized data comes from social networks. Netnography is expected to facilitate more structured reception results. Our results show that biographical novels still present different characteristics even though they use the same figure. The logical assumption related to these differences is that the novel has a fictitious nature and the novelist has a creative way of interpreting figures as protagonists. This proof also conveys that the characteristics of biographical novels are closely related to their figures/protagonists; the figure as the protagonist, the historical content as the context of the event, the protagonist who is inspiring, the events that are attached to the protagonist, and the style of writing as the personal representation of the protagonist. Through these characteristics, it is possible to distinguish between biographical novels and other novels, including historical novels.Keywords: Biographical Novels; Buya Hamka; Reader’s Reception; Indonesian Literature
An Investigation on Reading Flow Experience Among EFL Indonesian Students
Authors: Siregar Fenty Lidya , Henni Henni
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This study investigated students’ perception of flow experience (FE) when reading extensively and conditions that enabled FE. The participants were 36 EFL students from a private university in West Java, Indonesia who were involved in an extensive reading (ER) program using the XReading application. This study is a quantitative study which data were collected through questionnaire distribution and students’ reading results in Xreading. Regarding the findings, it was found that the students experienced flow during their extensive reading. Specifically,  although when joining ER for two semesters the students experienced flow, the flow experience in the two semesters is high. Second, the study found that the most significant condition for the students to experience flow is feedback. Third, the correlation result between students’ flow and the numbers of words they read in the first and second semester were respectively not statistically significant and technically a positive correlation. However, the relationship between the variables is weak in the second semester, The result also showed that in the 2nd semester the larger the number of words read, the higher the students’ flow experience is which indicated that more often the students do ER, the bigger their chance to experience flow.  Therefore, increasing students’ opportunities for experiencing flows could improve the quality of their language learning.Keywords: Flow, Extensive Reading, Optimal Experience

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Many students still struggle with reading comprehension, particularly in the areas of identifying topics, using proper grammar, understanding meaning, and expanding vocabulary. This study focuses on determining the effectiveness of applying the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model in reading comprehension, especially in composing recount text. It focuses on finding solutions to the students' reading issues in relation to the four aspects including topic, grammar,   meaning,   and   vocabulary.   The pre-experimental research design was used to carry out this research. Pre-test observations in class were also carried out by researchers before implementing the CIRC model. After carrying out the pre-test, the CIRCL model continued to be applied in class. Random sampling was used with 30 students of VIII D Secondary School in Bandung. During the course of the investigation, classes were observed and reading assessments, including pre-tests and post-tests, were administered to students. The results of this research indicated that CIRC use both individually and in groups significantly helps students' reading comprehension abilities. It was shown that the students' active participation in the implementation of CIRC model enhanced their reading comprehension abilities. Students also demonstrated positive outcomes towards numerous activities and features of the CIRC model.  This study suggests that the CIRC model can be integrated into teaching strategies in school to improve reading skills, and also encourages collaborative learning, which is essential for students’ social development in the classroom.Keywords: CIRC Model, reading comprehension, recount text

Abstract. For mentally retarded children, a structured and careful teaching method is needed to facilitate students’ understanding of learning English vocabulary. This study aims to: (1). Describe the application of a scientific approach to English vocabulary subjects; (2). Describe the obstacles to applying a scientific approach to learning English vocabulary for mentally retarded children; (3). Describe the benefits of applying a scientific approach to learning English vocabulary for mentally retarded children. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The subject in this study was 3 teachers with 5 students for each of class VII of State Special Needs Junior High School Pembina . Data collection techniques used are observation techniques, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is done by organizing the data, breaking it down into units, synthesizing it, arranging it into a pattern, choosing what is important and what  be studied, and making conclusions that can be told to others. The results shows that many benefits for both teachers and students, especially for mentally retarded students, including improving students' thinking skills, making it easier for students to understand the learning materials taught by teachers, and being more meaningful for students and this approach has obstacles and shortcomings when applied to mentally retarded children in a different class and should be simplified and adapted to the abilities of these students. The findings of this study highlight the importance of adapting teaching methods to better meet the needs of mentally retarded children, which can lead to more inclusive and effective educational practices. Socially, the research emphasizes the value of equal educational opportunities, contributing to a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all studentsKeywords: Mentally Retarded, Scientific Approach English Vocabulary

Education in one’s own mother tongue is one of the key areas for maintaining and developing one's own language and ethnic identity of the Slovak minority in Hungary. The aim of the paper is to find out the degree of perceived discrimination of teachers in respect of their work in an ethnic school and the consequent assessment of the teachers' relationships not only from the point of view of themselves, but also from the point of view of their social environment. The paper is based on data from a questionnaire survey conducted in Slovak ethnic schools in Hungary in 2019 on a sample of 139 ethnic school teachers.
In terms of perceptions of discrimination, it can be stated that approximately one-third of the teachers at Slovak ethnic schools have experienced varying degrees of discrimination. The distribution of the results also shows that teachers face discrimination in both urban and rural areas and that discrimination against teachers increases with age. In the context of social comparison, we observed highly positive evaluations of teachers. Slightly more positive evaluations were observed for self-evaluation. The reflected form of teachers’ relations reflects both the broader historical and social context, the current situation in the Slovak ethnic education system and the individual-specific characteristics of the respondents.

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into teacher professional development (PD) is a promising way to enhance teaching practices and foster innovation in education. However, the development and adoption of AI-based educational platforms face unique challenges in the BRICS region, including technological infrastructure and cultural diversity. This study aimed to identify key aspects of teaching in developing an integrative AI-assisted adaptive learning environment (ALE) in the region. Theoretical methods were used along with qualitative analyses of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions of 36 professors, researchers, and experts from Iranian universities. The findings of this study provided perspectives on the feasibility and effectiveness of developing a joint AI-ALE platform, emphasizing the importance of contextualizing AI initiatives and educational approaches to the needs and constraints of each country and underscoring the significance of local training programs, understanding areas of growth, clarifying values and cultures to be shared with other parties, designing educational resources compatible with collaborative platforms, and overcoming technological barriers. The study provided recommendations on capacity building and joint partnerships for educational innovation, and the development of AI-based teaching practices to open up new opportunities for PD of the next generation of educators for the digital landscape in the BRICS area.

The advantages of learning to be independent are significant. As a result, creating an independent learning instrument for university students is necessary. This study constructs a new scale for measuring student independence, integrating theories of self-directed learning to better understand and support autonomous educational behaviors. Several phases were involved in the creation of this instrument: a review of the literature, an initial draft, a first trial, revisions, and a final draft. To demonstrate the validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed. 436 respondents who were Indonesian students taking online classes received the questionnaire immediately. Ages of the respondents ranged from 17 to 29. They are mostly freshmen. Through Google Form, they received an independent learning scale. 29 of the 34 elements were found to be genuine and credible, according to the results. This tool was based on three factors: planning, student responsibility, and self-evaluation. Educators can use the validated scale to tailor interventions that foster students' learning independence, adapting teaching strategies based on individual or group assessments. In order to determine whether the reliability and validity patterns, particularly the model fit, are the same across different populations, future researchers must perform as many validations as they can.
