ISSUES OF TEACHING PROBABILITY THEORY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

2025-09-25T14:43:03-07:00

Probability theory and mathematical statistics represent a distinct branch of mathematical science. The axiomatization of probability theory in the early 20th century marked its emergence as an independent and fundamental field of mathematics. At the same time, probability theory serves as the foundation for mathematical statistics. The development of these disciplines has contributed to the emergence of new areas of knowledge such as risk theory, actuarial mathematics, stochastic analysis, biostatistics, and others, and has led to the formation of several specialized fields. Given the growing importance of probabilistic and statistical methods in various areas of science and practice, their inclusion in school mathematics curricula is both timely and justified. Therefore, the theoretical and practical teaching of probability theory and mathematical statistics is highly relevant.

One of the key issues is the methodology for teaching fundamental concepts, which are often overlooked during instruction and reduced to mere formula substitution and calculations. Furthermore, since elements of probability theory and mathematical statistics have been introduced into the school curriculum in recent years, determining the age-related capabilities of pupils—namely, in which grades and to what extent each topic should be taught—is a crucial component of the teaching methodology for this subject. The purpose of this article is to discuss and propose mathematically accurate definitions of certain fundamental concepts in probability theory and mathematical statistics, as well as teaching methods for these concepts, taking into account the age-related characteristics of students.

In this regard, the article examines key aspects of the methodology for teaching elements of probability theory and mathematical statistics in school mathematics that require particular attention. Specifically, it addresses the importance of distinguishing between the concepts of an experiment, an experiment's realization, and its outcome, as well as an event and its realization, statistical population, and proposes an instructional approach for teaching these concepts. Based on empirical experience that helps determine the appropriate grade levels at which to introduce these and other topics in probability theory and mathematical statistics, the article draws conclusions about the age-related characteristics of students in relation to a number of fundamental concepts. The results of this study can serve as a foundation for the development of school curricula and corresponding textbooks.

PECULIARITIES OF FRUSTRATION MANIFESTATION IN ATHLETES’ TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

2025-10-07T16:05:01-07:00

The article explores various forms of frustration manifestations in the training process of athletes.
Frustration is most commonly studied in the context of overcoming obstacles during competitive activity. Future research is
expected to expand in this area, focusing on activity related to frustration. However, such instances do not fully define the scope
of the frustration phenomenon. There is some ambiguity in understanding the term “frustration”: whether it refers to the
external cause (situation) or to the reaction it provokes (mental state or personal response). From an etymological perspective,
the word frustration implies a disruption of plans or failure to achieve a goal, thus representing a traumatic situation associated
with perceived failure. In this sense, the understanding of frustration within the educational and training process of athletes
aligns with a commonly recognized, though not universally accepted, interpretation. The forms of frustration among athletes
can be viewed as part of a broader issue of resilience to life’s difficulties and the psychological responses to them. In the
empirical part of the study, the following methods were used: 1. Rosenzweig’s Frustration Reaction Test and A.N. Leontiev’s
Life Meaning Orientations Test; 2. Lazarus’ Stress Level Assessment and the Differential Emotions Scale (DES); 3. Thomas
Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument; 4. L.I. Wasserman’s “Social Frustration Level” method (modified by V.V. Boyko).
The study results allow for an assessment – based on survey data – of athletes’ susceptibility to frustration,
their orientation toward life goals, and their level of internal stability.

REFORMING LABOR LEGISLATION IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION: PROSPECTS FOR SOCIAL PARTNERSHIP AND LEGAL REGULATION

2025-09-18T12:49:28-07:00

At the present stage, labor relations in the field of education are becoming an urgent form of legal
reform. The peculiarity of the existing labor relations in this area is that they are not limited only to economic aspects,
but have a complex character aimed at the development of social, cultural and human capital. The need to determine
the legal status of teachers in the Republic of Kazakhstan, protect their labor rights, improve working conditions, and
introduce social partnership mechanisms in educational institutions is considered one of the most important
prerequisites for modernizing the education system.
The purpose of this research work is to scientifically substantiate the directions of legal reform of labor
relations in the field of education, the role of the Institute of Social Partnership and effective mechanisms of legal
regulation. The study, based on a comparative and analytical review of international experience and the national
legal framework, identifies shortcomings and legal gaps in ensuring the labor rights of education workers. In addition,
ways to increase the social protection of teachers and strengthen legal guarantees in resolving labor disputes will be
proposed. The article highlights the need for comprehensive regulation of complex legal relations arising at the
intersection of labor law and the right to education, and scientifically analyzes the prospects for the development of
social partnership mechanisms (collective agreements, agreements, the role of professional associations and trade
unions) in this area.

The research is based on the idea that the modernization of public consciousness is not only a socio-political phenomenon but also an important methodological and substantive resource that can be effectively integrated into the system of education and upbringing.

The study focuses on determining the role of discursive strategies in shaping youth’s value orientations and on developing scientific foundations for the effective use of spiritual and cultural content in the educational process. The scientific novelty lies in offering a comprehensive pedagogical analysis of state ideological discourse, while the practical value is reflected in the applicability of results in educational practices, value-oriented programs, and methodological materials.

The methodological framework is based on content analysis: quantitative analysis was used to identify the frequency of lexical units and thematic markers, while qualitative analysis was aimed at interpreting them within political and cultural contexts. The results revealed that dominant concepts such as «national values», «education», «renewal», «unity», and «Kazakh language» play a significant role in shaping the value-based worldview of youth.

The potential for developing youth’s national identity is primarily determined by their orientation toward values rooted in historical memory and cultural traditions. Moreover, the concepts of «education», «language», and «unity» contribute to the recognition of their own «national self» and enhance competitiveness in the global context. The value paradigm of the program strengthens civic responsibility, fosters social cohesion, and reinforces national integrity, thus serving as an effective pedagogical tool.
