Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Razumovskaya Veronika , Idrisova Elmira , Azkenova Zhanargul
Published: November 2024

The songs of zhyrau form a rhetorical ideal, defining cultural, national, and rhetorical identity. Kazakh rhetoric, with its unique nature, demands examination through contemporary methodology, presenting a complex subject for ethnopoetics. This article describes cultural and national identity in zhyrau’s poetry and its impact on rhetorical identity. Research and translation approaches are based on interpreting the worldview through reflection and pan-determinism, classifying rhetorical statuses and modalities, analyzing symbolism and allegory, and generating new meanings. The study identifies varieties of symbols in Asan Kaigy’s poetry and the system of culturonyms in Kaztugan and Dospam-bet’s poetry.The scientific significance lies in describing the worldview in zhyrau’s poetry from hermeneutic and phenomenological perspectives, substantiating “rhetorical identity,” and identifying their roles in creating accurate translations. Practically, the results can be used to create new translations of zhyrau’s poetry. The implementation of the discourse approach made it possible to develop a methodology of rhetorical identity and make recommendations for translators of zhyrau poetry.Describing the worldview in Asan, Kaztugan, and Dospambet’s poetry has outlined the role of symbols and allegory. The connection between rhetorical statuses and worldviews is established, sub-stantiating the role of allegory in rhetorical argumentation and translation. The role of culturonyms as a rhetorical tool influencing the addressee, providing explanatory effects, and forming translation strate-gies is demonstrated.The research value lies in the introduction of the concept of ‘rhetorical identity’ in domestic science. Practical significance of the paper’s outcomes is to make recommendations for translators by interpreting the identity and conveying the ways in which zhyrau affects the listener as communication effectiveness.

Published: November 2024

Any scientific direction develops to a certain extent when it is theoretically grounded, its goals and objectives are defined, and its own methods are formed. The field of testology in the Kazakh language education is still developing compared to the world experience and there are still issues that need to be scrutinized. This displays the insufficiency of special scientific works in the field of testology in Kazakh science.In the modern educational process and the field of knowledge assessment, tests are widely used as the main tool for measuring learning outcomes. Language testing is also recognized as a method of independent assessment and, like other types of tests, is actively used in many countries around the world. This article discusses the history of the origin of tests, stages of testing development, types and specificity of tests. Particular attention is paid to the speaking subtest. The work provides a brief overview of the forms and process of organizing the speaking subtest as a means of measuring oral speech skills. In addition, the rules for compiling and conducting the speaking subtest and the applied capabilities of language testing are determined. Along with the language tests of the USA and Russia, the KAZTEST testing system is described, which is characterized as an objective control tool that determines the degree of communicative competence and qualifications in the Kazakh language. Moreover, the scientific, theoretical and applied aspects of language testing are studied, using description methods, an analysis of a number of world testing systems is carried out.

Published: November 2024

Vocabulary teaching is an essential part of the professionally-oriented foreign language teaching and learning process. The teaching community always strives to enhance the teaching tools and introduce new ones to make the learning process more active and learner-centered. The potential pedagogical value and effectiveness of crossword and wordsearch puzzles were explored in many studies. This work considers crossword and wordsearch puzzles as pedagogically useful resources for teaching vocabulary to students majoring in “General Medicine”. This study was carried out at the Medical Faculty of the al-Farabi Kazakh National University in groups GM 22-05 and GM 22-06. Fifteen international students enrolled in a foreign language course participated in this study. During the whole academic semester, students were given crossword puzzles as an additional teaching tool for learning and testing the knowl-edge of the new vocabulary and wordsearch puzzles for practicing vocabulary as fillers or integrated learning activity. The survey results showed that students had a positive experience and were eager to learn and practice vocabulary via solving crossword and wordsearch puzzles. The findings revealed that crosswords can be beneficial and helpful for (a) teaching and learning new vocabulary; (b) testing students’ knowledge of the studied vocabulary; (c) teaching spelling; (d) enhancing students’ analytical and cognitive skills as well as (e) relieving stress and giving students a feeling of accomplishment. While wordsearch puzzles are useful for teaching and learning new vocabulary, particularly their spelling, in a playful manner. Both tools can be used by English language teachers as a creative learning material for teaching vocabulary in an interesting, engaging and fun way. In the practical part of the research, peda-gogical suggestions for the creation and use of crossword and wordsearch puzzles are provided.

Published: November 2024

The article compares the linguistic heritage of Akhmet Baitursynuly and the statesman of Kyrgyz-stan, the founder of Kyrgyz linguistics Kasym Tynystanov, including their scientific works devoted to the problem of the alphabet and spelling. Considering Tynystanov as a representative of the Baitursy-nuly linguistic school, the idea and scientific theory of Baitursynuly about the Kyrgyz alphabet and spelling, formed by Tynystanov at the beginning of the twentieth century, is determined. The study took as a source K. Tynystanov’s textbook “Book for Reading” (Oku kitabi), published in 1924, and the work “Be Able to read and Write” (Oku-zhazu bil), published in 1927, which analyzes two periods of the Arabic Kyrgyz alphabet of 1912-1924 and 1925-1928 and compares them with the alpha-bets of Baitursynuly of 1912-1922, 1923-1924, 1925-1929 and his spelling rules. Also presented is K.Tynystanov’s view of the Latin alphabet based on the materials of the First All-Union Turkological Kurultai, held in Baku in 1926. As a result of the research, based on primary sources, the similarity of the alphabet and Kyrgyz spelling of K. Tynystanov with the alphabet and spelling of Akhmet Bait-ursynuly is proved, as well as the fact that K.Tynystanov is a representative of the linguistic school of A.Baitursynuly. Research sources and original works by K. Tynystanov were compiled in 2023 as a result of a scientific trip to Moscow, Russia.

Authors: An J. , Mikhaylov A. Yu. , Yousif N. B.A.
Published: November 2024

The subject of the study is the models of social security of the population.

   The relevance of the research is derived from the fact that states are increasingly faced with global problems requiring more government funding and restricting how much social risk is covered by state social security mechanisms and models.

   The purpose of the study is to form a financial and investment model of social security that promotes sustainable economic growth.

   The task is to systematize the aspects of the formation of an optimal financial and investment model of social security. The authors use the methodology of the analysis of the functioning environment (DEA) and the methods of neo-institutionalism, which is the most promising and complete concept for studying structural changes and investment strategies. The main results of the study show that inflation can have a negative impact on the social protection system. An optimal model of social security is proposed to stimulate economic growth. It is concluded that regardless of the division of the social security system into the state and non-state sectors, the proposed model of social security will achieve a synergistic effect and can have a positive impact on the quality and life expectancy of the population, which will favorably affect the indicators of economic activity and economic growth.
Statistical Analysis of Stable Distribution Application in Non Life İnsurance
Authors: Laouar A. , Boukhetala K. , Sabre R.
Published: November 2024

In recent years, the theory of stable variables has seen many exciting developments, due to the fact that it is a very rich class of probability laws able to represent different asymmetries, and heavy tails, so modelling complex phenomena; unlike normal law, which very often underestimates extreme events. α-stable distributions are a class of heavy-tailed distributions. For that, we will start in this paper by presenting a review of graphical tests, which will help us to verify if we are in the presence of data with infinite variance or not, and more precisely of stable distribution. Then we will apply these tests to real data representing car claim amounts, allowing us to assume that our sample follows a stable distribution. In order to confirm this hypothesis, we will therefore estimate the four parameters of the distribution using the McCuloch method, as well as the Koutrouvelis method in order to be able to make the diagnosis with Kernel Densities, and finally we will demonstrate that α-stable distribution is better fitted to the car claim amount data by using the Kolmogorov test.

Transformation of the Theory of Financial Recovery of the Organization as a Factor in Improving the Rehabilitation Effectiveness of Bankruptcy Procedures
Authors: Kochetkov E. Р.
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the study is to change the current methodology for identifying the fundamental aspects of an organization’s financial recovery by analyzing the elements that are needed for the theory of financial recovery to change under current conditions.

   The subject of the study is the financial and economic mechanisms for the settlement of overdue debts of insolvent organizations in out-of-court and judicial (under bankruptcy procedures) regimes within the framework of financial relations with creditors.

   The relevance of the work is due to theoretical and practical problems.

   The strengthening of the factors of the business crisis against the background of a high debt burden and low economic growth significantly increases the risks of mass bankruptcies of organizations, which requires the improvement of financial recovery tools. However, the existing paradigm of the theory of financial recovery is focused on preventing threats to the property interests of the owners of the debtor organization — this reduces the rehabilitation potential of such a theory. Analysis of the implementation of bankruptcy procedures in Russia shows the inefficiency of rehabilitation and liquidation procedures, which in most cases end in the liquidation of the organization and the separate sale of its assets in parts. Using logical research methods (analysis, synthesis, induction), economic analysis of judicial statistics on bankruptcy in Russia and the USA, methods of economic comparison and the provisions of the systematic approach, the theory of corporate reorganization of L. Bebchuk, the contract theory of the firm O. Hart and the theory of crisis management of socio-economic systems, the original results of the study were obtained. The article proposes to change the object composition of the processes of financial recovery: to shift the emphasis from protecting the property interests of the debtor organization to preserving its business from destruction. The change in the object composition provides, among other things, a solution to the key strategic problem of the institution of bankruptcy — finding a balance between rehabilitation and liquidation procedures, preventing the preservation of inefficient and liquidation of effective debtors.

   The orientation of financial recovery tools to preserve businesses from destruction allows us to develop provisions on the risk of bankruptcy of organizations and increase the rehabilitation potential of bankruptcy liquidation procedures, which determines the novelty of the study.
Do Permanent and Temporary Cash Flows Affect Corporate Buybacks?
Authors: Bhama V.
Published: November 2024

Equity buyback decisions are critical commitments, depending on the cash position of a firm.

   The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cash flow volatility on the buyback decisions of Indian corporate firms.

   The sample comprised 132 Indian companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange from 2012–2019. The selected firms had non-significant abnormal returns (after buyback announcements) that aroused the inquisitiveness to explore the real motivation behind repurchases across firms with permanent and volatile cash flows. The results of ordinary least squares regression suggested that large cash holdings were unrelated to the buybacks with coefficient values –0.02 and 0.01 for firms with permanent and volatile operating cash flows, respectively. Firms with considerable cash flows exhibited a low tendency to buy back their shares. The repurchases served mostly as signaling tools meant to enhance the value of stocks that were potentially undervalued. Thus, the undervaluation of stocks (with a beta of –0.38) seemed to have significantly affected the repurchase decision in association with the constant or volatile cash flows of the firms. Further, small firms appeared to engage more frequently in buybacks given their lower market-to-book ratios.
Board Gender Diversity and Financial Performance in Developing Countries: Evidence from the Ethiopian Banking Sector
Authors: Woldeamanuel A. G.
Published: November 2024

The topic of board gender diversity has drawn the attention of academics, organizations, and regulators alike. Such heightened awareness of the subject has produced a favorable atmosphere for gradual growth in women’s participation in boardrooms worldwide. Countries have even taken the initiative to legalize boardroom quotas to increase the proportion of females in the boardroom of organizations. The current study investigated the effect of women’s boardroom representation on the financial well-being of banks. The study considered fourteen commercial banks in Ethiopia as a sample. The study period ran from 2013 to 2020. The study employed OLS and fixed effect regression for analysis and found out that the representation of women in the boardroom of banks pays off. The result is robust for alternative measures of financial performance. The outcome of the study has far-reaching implications for policymakers and managers of financial institutions. Ethiopia’s financial regulators should push for legislated boardroom quotas to enhance the representation of women in the boards of banks. Additionally, banks should make the appointment of additional female board members a priority. The study also contributes new insights to the body of knowledge already available on the subject.

Published: November 2024

In adopting digital financial inclusion using digital apps in the Iraqi banking sector, users’ behavioral intentions and acceptance of digital apps are critical considerations to mitigate financial inclusion barriers. This study examines and discusses the role of smartphone banking technology as a new trend for extending financial inclusion by testing the impact of clients’ behavioral intentions (as a modified variable) on the part of smartphone banking apps in mitigating the digital financial inclusion barriers in the Republic of Iraq. The study used two models: the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model to determine essential constructs of technology use and a second model, a multidimensional index of financial inclusion (focusing on the dimension of the barriers).

   The main objective is to enhance understanding of how smartphone apps mitigate barriers to digital financial inclusion.

   The researchers collected survey data from 338 participants of Iraqi bank clients in the Baghdad governorate. After excluding 10 invalid responses, 328 (92%) were tested and analyzed using sPss software. Results of the two hypotheses emphasize that the respondents believe four critical constructs of the UTAUT model (PE, EE, SI, and FC) are key to digital financial inclusion and mitigate its barriers. Besides that, the positive of bank clients’ Baghdad governorate behavioral intentions to use digital apps play a vital role in improving the effectiveness of smartphone banking apps to mitigate digital financial inclusion barriers. Therefore, the study recommends that Iraqi banks with smartphone banking apps must develop and improve those apps to extend and diversify their operations on mobile platforms to enable more comprehensive categories of Iraqi society and motivate them to use the bank apps to purchase products and implement transactions.
Prospects for the Financial Instruments System Development for Small and Medium Enterprises
Authors: Polyakova M. B.
Published: November 2024

Financial availability for small and medium-sized enterprises is the most important factor for the companies’ growth. The current structure of the financial market determines bank lending as the main source of attracting external financing. At the same time, SMEs are in need of alternative financing instruments, including equity financing.

   The purpose of the paper is to assess current changes in the attracted financing structure in the SME segment and determine the development prospects of a system of capital raising instruments.

   Due the purpose, two tasks were defined: to analyze the dynamics of financial availability and the need of target segment in modern convenient financial tools. The following scientific methods were used in the study: observation, comparison, retrospective and system-structural analysis, analysis by segments, generalization. The key advantages of individual financial instruments and factors influencing their development are identified. The risks of creating non-competitive conditions for the development of instruments due to different approaches to regulation, as well as the use of preferential lending programs, have been identified. To prove the proposed approach, an analysis of the depth of lending penetration in the micro, small and medium-sized business segments, as well as the dynamics of the involvement of new borrowers, was carried out. The promising role of equity financing is outlined, while the institutional consequences of involving citizens in the development process of Russian companies are highlighted. The risks of the lack of a long-term vision of the financing instruments structure in strategic documents are identified, which does not allow the formation of numerical guidelines for supporting various groups of instruments. The proposed study made it possible to identify a number of significant areas for the development of non-bank financing of SMEs. The work updates: the possibilities of forming a system of debt and equity financing that meets the future needs of the target audience. The author’s definition of the prospects for the development of a system of financing instruments for the SME segment is given, which is based on an analysis of the dynamics of individual financial instruments and a study of the long-term need for external financing at various stages of company development.
Assessment of Blocked Financial Assets in Order to Develop Measures to Support Investors
Authors: Rastorguev M. A. , Alеshina A. Yu.
Published: November 2024

The rights of Russian investors owning foreign financial assets were violated as a result of the introduction of foreign sanctions, which blocked these securities for an indefinite period. This problem is widely discussed both in the professional environment and at the state level, and a search is underway for ways to solve the current situation.

   The purpose of this paper is to propose specific tools for working with blocked financial assets — assessing their value, profitability of formed portfolios, taking into account risk.

   The authors have developed a model for assessing blocked foreign securities, taking into account sanctions risk, while this risk is considered a type of credit risk. As a result of implementing the model, the fair value of blocked assets is determined, which can be used to determine the value of portfolios containing blocked securities; when creating special insurance and credit products aimed at protecting the rights and income of investors, as well as when the regulator develops recommendations for assessing blocked assets for further work with them.
Incorporating CAPM into Capital Structure Theories: Accounting for Business and Financial Risks
Authors: Brusov P. N. , Filatova T. V. , Kulik V. L.
Published: November 2024

In order to create a methodology for assessing the company’s main financial indicators, taking into account both business and financial risks, the CAPM and Fama-French models were included in the two main theories of capital structure - the Brusov-Filatova-Orekhova (BFO) theory and the Modigliani-Miller (MM) theory. CAPM takes into account systematic (business) risk, while capital structure theories take into account the financial risk of a specific company, associated with debt financing. As a result, generalized approaches (CAPM-BFO and CAPM–MM) were developed that take into account both types of risk: systematic (business) and financial. The Fama-French model with three and five factors is also considered and included. The latest versions of the two main theories of capital structure (BFO and MM), adapted to the established financial practice of the functioning of companies, are used, taking into account the real conditions of their work, such as variable income, frequent income tax payments, advance income tax payments, etc. Practical calculations have been made. They focus on (1) applying two versions of CAPM (market or industry) to real companies; (2) application to real companies of a new methodology developed by us for assessing the financial performance of a company, taking into account both business (market or industry) and financial risks. The calculations made for three real companies (Apple, Severstal, Polymetal) show that the financial performance of companies is highly dependent on the type of risks taken into account. Sometimes the difference between market and industry cases is small, sometimes it is significant. But the difference in financial indicators, while taking into account simultaneously financial and business risks, is always great. This means that taking into account simultaneously both financial and business risks is important for a correct assessment of the financial performance of companies. The developed approach makes it possible to use the powerful tools of these highly developed theories (BFO and MM) for the correct assessment of the main financial indicators of the company and their forecasting, taking into account both types of risks.

Authors: Witt Rodríguez Patricia de las Mercedes , Vélez Sánchez María Victoria , Astudillo Campos Patricia Del Pilar , Armijos Fernández Franklin Gonzalo
Published: November 2024

El objetivo general de este artículo fue analizar y comparar la microbiota oral presente en pacientes con periodontitis y tonsilolitos, a través de una revisión sistemática de estudios existentes. Se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en bases de datos científicas siguiendo los lineamientos PRISMA. Las bases de datos consultadas fueron Pubmed, Scopus, Wos y Google Scholar. Los estudios seleccionados cumplieron criterios específicos de inclusión y exclusión, centrados en la microbiota de ambos grupos de pacientes. Se revisaron estudios clínicos que utilizaron técnicas de secuenciación genética para identificar las bacterias predominantes. Los estudios revisados muestran una microbiota oral similar en ambos grupos, con la presencia de bacterias periodontopatógenas como Porphyromonas gingivalis y Tannerella forsythia. Sin embargo, los pacientes con tonsilolitos presentaron una mayor prevalencia de bacterias asociadas a infecciones de las vías respiratorias. Aunque hay coincidencias en las bacterias predominantes, los pacientes con tonsilolitos presentan un perfil microbiológico más complejo, lo que sugiere la necesidad de enfoques de tratamiento diferenciados para ambas condiciones.

Authors: Rodríguez Tello Mathew Stephano , Cisneros Muñoz Andy Josué , Ramirez Pineda Mauricio David , Gutiérrez Alvarado Ana Belén
Published: November 2024

El hiperaldosteronismo primario es un trastorno endocrino caracterizado por la producción excesiva de aldosterona, una hormona producida por las glándulas suprarrenales. Esta hormona juega un papel crucial en la regulación de la presión arterial y el equilibrio de electrolitos (como el sodio y el potasio) en el cuerpo. Para llevar a cabo esta revisión bibliográfica, se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en las bases de datos PubMed, Scopus y Cochrane Library utilizando términos MeSH y palabras clave relacionados con el hiperaldosteronismo primario, diagnóstico, tratamiento, función renal y calidad de vida. Se incluyeron artículos originales publicados en los últimos años en español. Posteriormente, se extrajeron los datos relevantes de cada artículo, incluyendo características de los pacientes, métodos diagnósticos, tratamientos utilizados y resultados obtenidos. Finalmente, se realizó un análisis narrativo de la información recopilada, identificando las principales tendencias, innovaciones y lagunas en el conocimiento actual sobre el tema. Los avances en el diagnóstico y tratamiento del hiperaldosteronismo primario han transformado la gestión de esta enfermedad endocrina. La identificación temprana de los pacientes, junto con el uso de fármacos altamente específicos como los antagonistas de los receptores mineralocorticoides, han permitido controlar la presión arterial, preservar la función renal y mejorar significativamente la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Sin embargo, aún existen desafíos por abordar, como la identificación de biomarcadores más precisos para predecir la progresión de la enfermedad y el desarrollo de nuevas terapias dirigidas a los mecanismos moleculares subyacentes.

Published: November 2024

La evaluación objetiva de la eficiencia masticatoria es crucial para evaluar la función oral, particularmente en poblaciones de ancianos y discapacitados. Aunque las pruebas de chicle bicolor ofrecen un método simple, la falta de bases de datos de imágenes estandarizadas limita la comparabilidad entre estudios. Este artículo presenta el desarrollo de una base de datos integral de imágenes de muestras de chicle bicolor masticado para facilitar evaluaciones objetivas y comparables de la eficiencia masticatoria. Objetivo: Desarrollar una base de datos integral de imágenes de muestras de chicle bicolor masticado para facilitar evaluaciones objetivas y comparables de la eficiencia masticatoria. Metodología: Se reclutaron 145 participantes (95 mujeres, 50 hombres; edad media 34 ± 6,3 años) de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil. Los participantes masticaron muestras de chicle bicolor (Five® rojo y verde) durante 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 y 35 ciclos. Las muestras masticadas se aplanaron y escanearon a 600 ppp. Resultados: Se recolectaron y procesaron 1160 muestras, resultando en 2320 imágenes (ambos lados). La base de datos incluye 4000 imágenes de alimentos de prueba sometidos a distintos niveles de masticación, metadatos asociados y puntuaciones de grado de mezcla evaluadas por expertos para un subconjunto de muestras. El análisis preliminar muestra una clara progresión en la mezcla de colores a medida que aumenta el número de ciclos de masticación. Conclusiones: La base de datos de imágenes desarrollada proporciona un recurso estandarizado para la evaluación de la eficiencia masticatoria. Esta herramienta tiene el potencial de mejorar la comparabilidad entre estudios, facilitar el desarrollo de técnicas de análisis más robustas y mejorar la evaluación clínica de la función masticatoria. Futuras investigaciones deberían expandir la base de datos para incluir un rango más amplio de edades y condiciones clínicas.
Relationship between Investor's Regret Aversion and Stock Returns
Authors: Kim Somyung , Ohk Kiyool
Published: October 2024

This study analyzes the impact of investor regret and regret aversion on stock returns from a behavioral finance perspective. Regret occurs when investors compare the outcomes of their choices with alternative outcomes. Assets with returns lower than the highest potential return achievable within the same period are defined as assets causing significant regret for investors. Such assets, causing either high or low regret, influence investor demand. Investors tend to avoid adding assets with high regret to their portfolios, and demand additional compensation to hold them. Conversely, investors prefer assets with lower regret, and are willing to accept relatively lower returns. This study utilizes the regret variables proposed by Arisoy et al. (2024) to examine the existence of regret aversion and regret premiums in Korean stock markets, along with their impact on asset pricing.

Optimal Asset Allocation of Pension Funds with a Portfolio Constraint Change
Authors: Park Jongho , Jang Bong-Gyu
Published: October 2024

We investigated the asset allocation problem of a pension fund in which the constraints on the risky investment proportion change owing to local regulations or the fund’s policy changes. We assumed that the fund manager has a utility function with respect to the funding ratio of the pension fund. A dynamic programming approach was employed and we obtained a closed-form solution to the problem. To numerically measure the effect of such changes on asset allocation, we define the concept of policy change equivalent return (PCER) as the additional expected return for the value function of the case without such changes at the same level as the value function of the case with them. In the numerical analysis, we analyzed both the effect of regime switching on market parameters and policy change on the PCER and showed the effectiveness of introducing policy changes to asset allocation.
El trabajo de las taponeras de corcho en Calonge, Cataluña (1881)
Authors: López-Antón Margarita
Published: November 2024

La hipótesis que defendemos es que las mujeres constituyeron una importante fuerza de trabajo en la industria rural taponera catalana, incluso antes de su mecanización. Nos basaremos en un estudio de caso, Calonge, para evidenciar el subregistro de las fuentes oficiales –principalmente en mujeres casadas– y reconstruir las tasas de actividad femeninas, indicador económico de vital importancia para determinar en qué etapa de crecimiento o atraso se encuentra una economía. El padrón de habitantes (1881) ha sido la principal fuente utilizada, junto con otras fuentes (matrícula de contribución industrial, libros matrimoniales, protocolos notariales, etc.). La tasa de actividad femenina deducida (24,4%) está por encima de los porcentajes calculados por los censos oficiales y de otras poblaciones del Baix Empordà.

TRAUMA-INFORMED SYLLABUS DESIGN FOR PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS
Authors: Holovatenko Tetiana
Published: November 2024

There is a growing body of literature that recognises the influence of trauma on the learning process. The article analyses foreign approaches to the development of curricula based on a trauma-informed approach. The relevance of the study is driven by the need to institutionalise the training of future teachers based on a trauma-informed approach in response to the challenges faced by education in the process of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and in connection with the full-scale war in Ukraine. The article aims to outline foreign practices of implementing a trauma-informed approach at the level of curricula and present practical ways to implement such practices in curricula and syllabi design in Ukraine. The study is based on the qualitative methodology of comparative pedagogical research with the use of grounded theory. The empirical data of the study were obtained from the analysis of scientific databases and websites of higher education institutions where programmes are developed on the basis of a trauma-informed approach. The results of the study outline ways to implement the principles of the trauma-informed approach in the programme and present the first experience of implementing certain elements of the approach in the training programme for future teachers. Some of the ways of implementing trauma-informed principles to syllabi design are to employ a friendly tone in the welcome message to students; articulate detailed expectations regarding assignments and grading policy; survey students to learn about their preferred accommodations and triggering topics; outline expectations regarding course support, attendance, participation, camera policy, and accommodations in cases of force majeure; provide links to university policies concerning students; provide students with flexible deadlines, task completion options, and formative assessment. The prospect of the research is to analyse the experience of students who studied under the proposed programme, as well as within the trauma-informed educational environment created by it.
GENDER EDUCATION OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Authors: Machynska Nataliіa
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes regulatory documents and theoretical and methodological research by Ukrainian scientists on the problem of gender education and gender upbringing of preschool children. The author revealed the topic of gender and the gender approach, which is a leading focus in the national system of preschool education. The article demonstrates that gender issues are interdisciplinary, forming the subject of scientific investigations in sociology, cultural studies, history, philology, psychology, and pedagogy. It is noted that gender is a complex concept used in several meanings (gender as social-role and cultural interpretation of personal traits and behavior patterns of men and women; acquisition of sociality by individuals; policy of equal rights and opportunities for men and women, etc.). Based on the analysis of scientific research, it is emphasized that the gender approach in preschool education is an individual approach to the manifestation of a preschool child’s identity. It is proven that this approach creates personal conditions for freedom of choice, provides opportunities for self-realization, helps to be sufficiently flexible, and gives the ability to use various behavioral opportunities in the socio-cultural environment. The article proposes and characterizes the rules for organizing and structuring the content of ethical discussions with preschool children regarding the understanding of gender education (information should be age-appropriate and meet children’s needs; the teacher should reflect their own attitude towards the topic of discussion; questions arising during the discussion should be answered, etc.). The article provides advice and recommendations for educators of preschool institutions and parents to effectively organize gender education in preschool institutions and families (establishing close cooperation in the context of pedagogical interaction between educator and psychologist, educator and family; thorough study of individual characteristics of preschool children, etc.).
