Determinants of preservice teachers' attitudes toward problem-solving in mathematics education

Aishatu Malaika Arendse — 2025-04-01

The attitudes of preservice teachers toward problem-solving in mathematics education play a significant role in shaping how they approach teaching and facilitate student learning in the future. This study explores the factors that influence preservice teachers' attitudes towards problem-solving, particularly focusing on their mathematical background, pedagogical training, teaching experience, and personal beliefs about mathematics. The research involved a mixed-methods approach, utilizing surveys and semi-structured interviews to gather data from preservice teachers at a teacher education institution. The findings reveal that preservice teachers' attitudes are strongly influenced by their mathematical experiences, their exposure to problem-solving strategies during teacher preparation programs, and their personal beliefs regarding the importance of mathematics. Additionally, challenges such as anxiety about mathematics and lack of problem-solving skills were identified as barriers to developing positive attitudes. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing these factors within teacher education programs to improve preservice teachers’ readiness to incorporate problem-solving in their future classrooms.

Integrating active learning and digital tools in pathophysiology education: enhancing conceptual understanding and clinical application

Sharipova Postumia Anvarovna — 2025-04-26

Pathophysiology is a cornerstone of medical and health sciences education, bridging basic science and clinical practice. However, students often struggle with its complexity and abstract concepts. This article explores innovative teaching strategies, including case-based learning, virtual simulations, and adaptive learning platforms, to improve pathophysiology education. We assess the effectiveness of these methods in fostering deeper comprehension, retention, and clinical reasoning skills. Additionally, we discuss challenges in implementation and propose best practices for educators.

Choice of Forum for Dispute Resolution: A Comparison of State Courts and Arbitration

Assel Salikhova — 2025-04-25

This article examines the issue of choosing between state courts and arbitration institutions for resolving commercial disputes arising in business activities, with a particular focus on the Republic of Kazakhstan. Based on a comparative analysis, four key criteria are investigated: the amount in dispute, the nature and essence of the conflict, the time and quality of proceedings, and the impartiality of the decision rendered. It is concluded that state courts offer lower direct costs (such as court fees), but are characterized by a relatively lengthy process due to workload and multiple layers of jurisdiction. In contrast, arbitration provides the parties with procedural flexibility, the ability to select arbitrators, and often resolves disputes more quickly, although it requires payment of arbitration fees and may be vulnerable to the risk of "pocket" adjudications. In conclusion, it is emphasized that under both Kazakhstani and international practice, entrepreneurs should take into account the specific features of their dispute and carefully assess the reliability of arbitration in advance. A combination of analysis of national legislation, international legal norms (the New York Convention, the UNCITRAL Model Law), and examples from practical cases allows for the formulation of practical recommendations on selecting the optimal mechanism for resolving commercial conflicts.
