The methodology included the generalisation of educational programmes, a survey of 500 respondents in Kyrgyzstan, a comparative analysis of higher education models in various countries (Poland, Germany, Ukraine), and the examination of strategic documents concerning education development. The study showed that the use of adaptive management strategies, digital tools, and personalised learning methods has a positive impact on students’ academic performance and motivation levels. The conclusions confirm that quality education management requires a comprehensive approach that combines technological, pedagogical, and organisational aspects. The practical significance of the study lies in the potential use of its results for the development of educational strategies, improvement of teacher training systems, introduction of new approaches to student assessment, the creation of management models that ensure the flexibility and adaptability of educational institutions to current challenges.
Monitoring economic risks associated with forest landscape degradation Dzhyldyz Albanbaeva, Zhibek Amerkulova, Aigul Chaldanbaeva, Raushanbek Zainiev, Rustambek Asanov Ukrainian Journal of Forest and Wood Science, 2025 The study aimed to assess the economic risks caused by the degradation of forest landscapes and their impact on the forestry sector’s economy and regional development. The analysis examined the impact of deforestation, soil erosion, biodiversity loss and climate change on forestry sustainability, the labour market, investment attractiveness and financial flows in the regions. A comprehensive approach was used, including statistical analysis of data, comparative assessment of changes in the forest industry, and forecasting of possible economic consequences under different scenarios. The study found that between 2015 and 2024, global forest cover loss reached 10 million hectares annually, leading to a reduction in timber stocks and a 15-25% increase in prices in the most affected regions. The decline in forest area has had a direct impact on employment in the forestry industry, causing a 20-30% reduction in jobs in the sector in Southeast Asia and Latin America, where logging is an important source of income. The results show that the reduction in tax revenues from the forestry industry and the shrinking of local budgets have led to limited funding for social programmes and infrastructure projects in rural areas. The analysis also showed that illegal deforestation remains a serious problem, as up to 30% of the global timber market may be of illegal origin, undermining the economic stability of the industry and complicating international regulation. The loss of biodiversity and soil erosion has led to an increase in the cost of ecological restoration of forest areas, which in some countries has exceeded USD 5 billion. Comprehensive measures to reduce economic risks are proposed, including the introduction of strict regulatory mechanisms, the development of FSC certification, stimulating investment in forest restoration, and the introduction of digital monitoring technologies, including satellite surveillance and the use of drones. The results of the study can contribute to the development of strategies for forest management, environmental control, reduction of economic risks, implementation of monitoring technologies and assessment of the impact of forest degradation on regional development
EFFECTS OF PLAY ON NATURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS Çifci, Barçınay, A K, Chaldanbaeva Scientific Culture, 2025 ABSTRACT Currently, youngsters are immersed in the appealing prospects presented by the digital realm; yet, their chances to engage with nature are progressively declining. This circumstance negatively impacts the cultivation of children's environmental consciousness and sensitivity to nature. Childhood is a pivotal phase in which individuals' environmental attitudes are formed. In this setting, enhancing children's engagement with nature and reinforcing their environmental awareness is crucial. This study seeks to investigate how play can improve school-aged children's perceptions of nature and the environment. The influence of nature-themed games, developed through the Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology, on children's environmental consciousness was evaluated. The study involved 25 third-grade pupils from a primary school in Kocaeli, a city situated along the Marmara Sea in Turkey's Marmara Region. A quasi-experimental approach was utilised, and data were gathered through pre-test and post-test phases. The central hypothesis of the study posits that nature-themed activities will enhance environmental sensitivity among the participants in Kocaeli. Furthermore, it is posited that the PBL technique, by fostering active learning and problem-solving abilities, cultivates children's sensitivity and solution-oriented mindset towards environmental concerns. The data collection instruments comprised the Game Emotion Scale (GES), created by Ayrancı and Aydın (2022). To evaluate emotional reactions to play experiences, qualitative interview instruments gauging parents' frequency of engagement with nature, and observational forms recording children's game preferences. The data were analysed with IBM SPSS software, and descriptive statistical results were illustrated through graphical comparisons. The quantitative results demonstrated that the correlation coefficient for the relationship with nature in Graph 1 (r = 0.89) exceeded that in Graph 2 (r = 0.76). This indicates that nature-based games exhibit a more robust correlation with environmental variables. The Pearson correlation analysis and comparative interpretations provide statistical evidence for the positive influence of play on environmental attitudes. The findings indicate that nature-themed games conducted through interdisciplinary collaborative activities—encompassing Life Sciences, Science, and Play/Free Activity classes—result in notable enhancements in children's environmental perceptions and attitudes, especially within emotional, cognitive, and social spheres. The experimental group had a more significant enhancement in environmental sensitivity than the control group. These findings empirically validate that including nature-based games within a multidisciplinary educational framework significantly enhances children's environmental awareness. Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered approach that aims to encourage students to utilize diverse resources based on real-life situations, engage in sustained inquiry, and solve multiple problems by developing a comprehensive project within a specific timeframe. This model fosters students' research, discovery, and critical thinking skills, particularly by supporting higher-order thinking and problem-solving processes, which are 21st-century skills (Zhang & Ma, 2023). The study indicates that including nature-based activities into school curricula can aid youngsters in developing healthy lifestyle habits, enhance their appreciation for nature, and promote their evolution as environmentally aware individuals. The study presents a new educational paradigm designed to restore the connection between humans and nature, laying a significant basis for sustainability for future generations.
Improving the methodology for training future biology teachers in a distance learning environment Aida Madieva, Aigul Chaldanbaeva, Aidyn Dzhaanbaeva, Nazima Ckukun kyzy Social Sciences and Humanities Open, 2025 This study evaluated the effectiveness of an enhanced methodology for training future biology teachers in a distance learning environment, with an emphasis on developing digital, cognitive, and metacognitive competences. The research was conducted from September 2022 to June 2023 at two universities in Kyrgyzstan and involved 124 undergraduate biology students assigned to control and experimental groups. The experimental intervention integrated digital platforms, gamification, mentoring, reflective diaries, and structured feedback to support individualised learning. A quasi-experimental design was applied, and competence levels were assessed using the TPACK framework, the Digital Competence Scale, and the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory. The results demonstrated statistically significant gains in the experimental group across all three indicators: TPACK (+0.71), Digital Competence (+0.68), and MAI (+0.63), while the control group showed modest improvements (p < 0.01). Analysis of digital activity logs confirmed higher engagement in the experimental group, including increased LMS logins (+27 %), longer session duration (+40 %), higher module completion (91.3 %), and more frequent participation in forums and assignment feedback. Expert evaluation of pedagogical design also favoured the enhanced methodology, highlighting higher interactivity, adaptability, and course logic (Kendall's W = 0.82). The findings indicate that the improved methodology substantially strengthens digital readiness, metacognitive regulation, and professional-pedagogical competence in distance learning. The study provides a validated model that can be integrated into teacher education programmes and adapted for use in related disciplinary fields. • Enhanced method improved TPACK, digital and metacognitive competences. • Experimental group showed higher LMS activity and module completion. • Gamification and mentoring increased engagement in distance learning. • Digital traces confirmed stronger self-regulation and interaction skills. • Experts rated the new methodology superior in interactivity and adaptability.
Financial and economic approaches to pedagogical monitoring in higher education: Quality assurance through green economy principles Dzhyldyz Albanbaeva, Zhibek Amerkulova, Asylkan Sharsheeva, Aigul Chaldanbaeva, Rustambek Asanov Scientific Bulletin of Mukachevo State University Series Economics, 2024 The purpose of this study was to cover the financial and economic approaches to monitoring for the green economy integration in the educational process. The study analysed the financial and economic aspects of pedagogical monitoring and their role in the implementation of green economy in higher education. The relationship between sustainable development and green economy was covered and the impact of green economy on the educational process was examined. The study defined the financial and economic methods of monitoring: cost and profitability analysis, resource optimisation, benchmarking, budgeting, calculation of key performance indicators, modelling. The study explored the degree of implementation of green economy principles in the educational process of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. To assess the real practices in higher education institutions, the opinion of teachers and students at the Kyrgyz State University named after Ishenaly Arabaev, Almaty Humanitarian-Economic University, Tashkent State Economic University was analysed. The findings showed that the universities under study actively implement environmental projects and initiatives related to sustainable development and green economy. Furthermore, the principles of green economy are integrated into educational programmes. However, the effectiveness of monitoring the educational process was low. Financial and economic barriers in monitoring and implementation of green economy in the educational process were also found, namely: lack of material and technical support (45%), limited opportunities to use innovative technologies (35%), low motivation of students to implement the principles of green economy (32%). There are also barriers in the practical training of future specialists to implement the green economy principles. For more effective practical training of students and to improve the effectiveness of green economy, it was proposed to introduce into the educational process the cooperation with educational institutions and public organisations, projectbased learning, to organise trainings and courses, as well as to leverage information and communication technologies. A monitoring model was proposed based on financial and economic approaches, which includes the stages of planning, diagnostics, and the stage of strategy development, which can influence the objectivity of evaluation of the educational process through the lens of green economy
