The government of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 1997 started operating a systematic state policy for education. Many scholarly papers show that the success of the educational reform efforts depend not only on the ability of the government to supply all schools with ICT, but also on the ability to make teachers possess positive attitudes toward ICT integration. This study contributes to the existing knowledge by providing a current picture of the process of ICT integration in a Kazakhstani secondary school through the lens of the main facilitators of this process -teachers. This mixed-method study fills the research gap by exploring the role of teachers' attitudes toward technology integration in school through examining the factors (self-confidence, knowledge, gender and age) that influence teachers' ICT attitudes and analyzing the subsequent relationship between teachers' attitudes and their students' academic motivation. Findings show that teachers possess positive attitudes toward ICT in school mostly due to the advantages that technology offers such as distant learning and visualization of the material (3D programs). Moreover, the analysis shows that all four factorsconfidence, knowledge, gender and age -have the potential to influence and change teachers' attitudes toward technology. Interestingly, age and gender do not seem to have a direct influence on attitudes, confidence or knowledge. Rather, it is the bias towards age and gender that obstructs the integration of technology in school. In addition, the statistical analysis demonstrates that teachers' attitudes toward ICT influence students' academic motivation.
Under present-day conditions of digital transformation of the economy, the problem of storing and using electronic documents is quite relevant. As a result of consistently pursued state policy of informatization of Kazakhstan, in recent years the share of electronic documents accumulated in various national information systems has significantly increased. The article is devoted to the project “Unified Archive of Electronic Documents” (UAED) implemented within the frameworks of the State Program “Digital Kazakhstan” adopted in all departmental and state archives of the republic. It represents a practical solution for organizing long-term and permanent storage, order, and usage of electronic documents. The author describes main components and functionality of the system for automating the activities of both departmental and state archives, maintaining the State Fonds Catalog, providing remote access to archive’s data through web portals "E-Archive" and "Electronic Government," generating statistical reports on various indicators for various time periods, composition and content of archival fonds, state of storage of documents, etc. The article describes procedure and form for accepting electronic documents for storage in the UAED, where the main condition is to confirm the validity of electronic digital signature. It also underscores the problem of verification of documents that did not pass this check. The regulatory legal framework for implementation and functioning of the system has been investigated. The article notes existing loop-holes in the legislation on the issues of ensuring legitimacy and authenticity of electronic documents when transferring for storage, of electronic digital signature integrity, and of electronic files formation. In particular, it underscores the necessity of legislative consolidation of the “time stamp” concept and the mechanism of its use when verifying electronic documents. The problem of choosing a format for long-term data storage is outlined. An example of using such electronic documents property as possibility of their machine processing for automation of the process of forming files and compiling series is considered. It is noted that nation-wide introduction of the UAED has made it possible to unify and systematize the process of transferring archival documents into digital format. The author concludes that, in order to solve practical problems of archival storage of electronic documents, it is necessary to conduct scientific research and acquire theoretical understanding of a number of issues (selection, examination of value, organization of storage, use of electronic documents, etc.).

The article presents a historiographic analysis of the scientific works on the history of the development of archives in Kazakhstan. The paper highlights the most studied topics and the issues raised in the works of Kazakh researchers. The author notes that the problematics of the organization and history of archives administration in Kazakhstan is one of the central topics of the national archival science. That is evidenced by the studied works of both theoretical scholars and practicing archivists. After gaining independence, the republic started forming its own scientific base for studying archival issues, particular historical periods, during which the formation of the archival branch took place. Based on the extensive source material, relying on prior experience, modern researchers have created a historical retrospective of the emergence of archival science in the country. The relevance of the historiographic analysis of the study in the history and organization of archives administration in Kazakhstan is explained by the need to determine its main directions, analyze the approaches and views that have developed over the recent 30 years. At the same time, there still exist unaffected aspects of the history of the development of Kazakhstani archives. In working out the issue the historiographic analysis methods were used, including the comparative historical, chronological, and periodization methods. Monographs, scientific articles, textbooks and reviews on the history of the development of archives administration in Kazakhstan, published in the period from 1991 to 2021, were used as a source base.
