The aim of this research is to reveal the attitudes of engineering faculty students towards mobile learning. The study group of the research consisted of 80 students studying at various universities in Kazakhstan and voluntarily agreeing to participate in the research. The research was created in a qualitative design. In this study, a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers was used in order not to determine the mobile learning attitudes of the students. Students' attitudes towards mobile learning were evaluated based on the content analysis method. The result of the research reveals that the vast majority of students use mobile learning applications frequently. When students were asked about the advantages of mobile learning applications, they stated that it increases motivation, facilitates learning and is useful. The disadvantages of mobile learning were categorized by students as information pollution, need for mobile support and high cost. In order to eliminate the disadvantages of mobile learning applications; Uninterrupted internet and wireless data transportation support can be provided to meet the mobile support needs in universities.
The purpose of this research is to seek the opinions of teacher candidates in order to develop the spiritual and creative potential of future teachers in the ‘school-university’ system. This research was carried out using the qualitative research method. The participant group of the research consisted of 40 pre-service teachers who were studying at the faculty of education in the 2021–2022 academic year and agreed to participate in the study voluntarily. Research data were collected through the semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the spiritual well-being and creative potential of the teacher candidates are at a moderate level. In addition, pre-service teachers suggested that courses should be given in universities in order to develop their spiritual and creative potentials. Some of the teachers offered suggestions to make practices to develop their spiritual and creative potential in the school-university environment and to benefit from experienced teachers in this system. In addition, teacher candidates stated giving importance to personal development and participating in personal development seminars as suggestions for the development of their spiritual and creative potentials. In line with the results of the research, the necessity of carrying out applications for the development of the spiritual well-being and creative potential of teacher candidates in the school-university system has arisen. Keywords: School-university system, spiritual and creative potential, teachers of the future
Toxic pollutants of industrial origin can be dangerous for professionals who come into contact with them at work, and also for the people who live near the sources of environmental hazards. There is a known relationship between the soil pollution with heavy metals and the morbidity of the population. This paper reports a study of the soil pollution with ions of heavy metals in the Turkestan region, Kazakhstan. The study found technogenic geochemical anomalies of various size, intensity and origin in the soils of the Turkestan region. The distribution of lead, copper, barium, zinc, molybdenum, phosphorus and arsenic was mapped based on the ecological and geochemical survey of the upper soil layer. The most polluted city is Kentau, where concentrations of Pb, Mo, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Mn, Cr, Ni in the soil exceed the allowable level. The cause of pollution is erosion that occurs in the areas of technogenic waste storage. In some communities, the concentration of only one metal exceeded its MAC or the Clarke number, for example, only scandium exceeded its Clarke number by 1.1 in Lenger and only exceeded its Clarke number by 2.75 in Sholakkorgan.
