“…Most of the described actions traditionally fall on the women, given that they also earn money. As suggested herein, traditional family behaviors are most supported and followed by most women, because, as argued by other researchers, following such behaviors is attributed to the preservation of own social status (Durrani et al, 2022;Kudaibergenova, 2018).…”

“…In contemporary society, the need for women's employment and community inclusion is dictated by the production cycle, the characteristic features of communication and inputs (Abildina & Eskazinova, 2013;Low, 2007). Women are involved in the production of tangible and intangible goods on an equal footing with men, which contributes to the gradual erosion of traditional social structures throughout the modern world and promotes the universalization of the way of life, especially in urbanized regions (Dauletyarova et al, 2016;Durrani et al, 2022). Yet, Kazakhstan significantly lags behind other developing economies in terms of urbanization rates, and the ideology followed by the country's leadership was based on the traditional lifestyles and values of nomadic Kazakhs (Aljanova et al, 2016;Edelbay, 2012).…”

Redesigning of developing economies includes the challenge of the inclusive materialization of women's human potential. This paper investigates changes in the women’s social status and the role of human capital in conveying the Kazakhs’ traditional values. The study includes a sample of 400 women. The sample’s overall demographic profile generally corresponds to the demographic profile of Kazakh society. The research findings established importance of traditional values and behaviors for Kazakh women. Educational attainment is a significant component of social status for Kazakh women, but the degree of its influence on achieving higher social status is perceived to be insignificant.

“…Kazakhstan, closest to Russia, a Central Asian post-Soviet country, has mixed religious views. Historically, men and women in Kazakhstan have had equal opportunities to receive education, thus leading researchers to name Kazakhstan a 'gender paradox' because, despite the high literacy levels of both genders, gendered norms still exist in the society (Durrani et al, 2022). These norms reflect women's careers (Almukhambetova & Kuzhabekova, 2020).…”

“…Kazakhstani females are influenced by the education and culture of the country. The analysis of several textbooks from public schools indicates that ideal Kazakh females are mothers and nurturers compliant to their cultures and husbands, who are fearsome and knowledgeable protectors and leaders, predominantly in the STEM fields (Durrani et al, 2022). Women are discouraged mainly by their family members to pursue STEM or leadership careers so as not to threaten their husband's masculinity and are advised to choose more "feminine" occupations (Almukhambetova & Kuzhabekova, 2020).…”

This is a pilot study written prior to undertaking a doctoral dissertation on the state of female leadership in Kazakhstan. The paper analyses variables from the Survey of Adult Skills of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). The data for PIAAC was collected in 2017 in Kazakhstan. The author of this study used publicly available databases. This study aims to understand who occupies leadership positions in Kazakhstan and what variables influence the people who become leaders. Statistical tests were conducted to estimate how gender, skills, level of education, and family background influence leadership. Research results indicate that instead of gender, literacy, numeracy, and ICT skills are important for leadership. The country’s statistics show that in comparison to other occupations, the number of female leaders is relatively high in the education sector. Therefore, the results of this pilot study are being expanded into more detailed and substantial doctoral research, analysing factors that influence female leadership in the higher education of Kazakhstan. This empirical research adds findings to existing data of the Central Asian context, particularly in gender studies and leadership fields.

“…One of them is in the form of a textbook. Textbooks have an important role in the implementation of learning (Charalambous, 2011;Durrani et al, 2022;Ewais & Troyer, 2019). Textbooks can be a rich source of information about how students are taught about morals or values (Margana & Widyantoro, 2017;Puspitasari et al, 2021).…”

The method used in this research is content analysis. The subject of this study are electronic school books for Senior High School class X, XI, and XII, The research procedure carried out refers to the stages of qualitative research, namely data collection, data display, data reduction, and drawing or verifying. The data that has been collected is then analyzed by calculating the number or intensity of the reasoning aspects and the tendency of the spread of various aspects of reasoning which are grouped into five categories. The result of this study found that reasoning contained in Senior High School electronic school book has been developed quite well, but has not developed the aspect of reasoning proportionally. The reasoning aspect that is most often developed in authentic assessment indicators is identifying problems and identifying assumptions. Aspects of reasoning that have not been developed are related to formulating problems in the form of questions, choosing their own problems, give reasons for the solution, give reasons for the strategy used, and evaluate the systematic strategy. The results of this study can be used to measure the quality of developing authentic assessment indicator supplements contained in high school electronic school books.
