The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has clearly demonstrated that the construction of national and ethnic identity in the post-Soviet space is still in an active phase. At the same time, the rapid development of mobile technologies and the huge popularity of social networks raise the question of the relationship between the use of social networks and a sense of nationality. Based on 22 semi-structured interviews with young Russians in Kazakhstan, my research describes the role of social media in the process of ethnonational and citizenship of Russians who: 1) were born and raised in independent Kazakhstan and 2) are currently active users of social networks. Research has shown that the use of social networks can help in maintaining multiple identities and in rethinking prescribed identity. Moreover, young ethnic Russians support the multicultural civic paradigm of Kazakhstan and form an appropriate information environment in personal social networks. Looking at news feeds in VKontakte, Facebook and Instagram the younger generation of Russians in Kazakhstan forms a certain idea of the country of their birth and residence, which allows them to reconcile their multiple national identities and avoid social uncertainty.

Similarly to other countries, working people in Kyrgyzstan experience a dramatic increase in the interrelationship between two domains of home and work, due to changes in the family structure, enhanced demands in the workplace and child-raising practices, an increasing number of women in the workforce in the last several decades, etc. The goal of the study was to explore the most common types of work/home interactions among working people in Kyrgyzstan, gender differences in the interactions between two domains, the demographic characteristics of the group that experiences the highest level of work-family conflict, and types of social support in organization and family life that is most helpful in reducing negative work-home interactions. The research compared interactions between home and work among males and females, governmental, nongovernmental and commercial organizations, married and single employees. The findings revealed that both social support at home and organizational support at workplace relate to work-home interactions. The study showed that both male and female employees in Kyrgyzstan evaluate positive workhome and home-work interactions significantly higher than negative interactions and no gender differences were revealed in the level of assessment of positive and negative interactions between work and home.

The article raises the problem of replacing the majority of students' idea of chemistry as a difficult subject with the idea of chemistry as an easy and interesting subject. Today, most schoolchildren do not have the opportunity to establish a deep connection between chemistry and mathematics, demonstrate the inability to apply the knowledge gained in one subject, the underdevelopment of the application of concepts in accordance with the subject in practice, which implies serious issues of international tests PISA, TIMSS, etc. As a solution to this problem, the authors propose ways to improve the quality of knowledge in chemistry through the development of interdisciplinary connections of chemistry and mathematics. The chemistry teacher is called upon to reveal the hidden enthusiasm (energy) of the child, to give motivation to remember and automatically apply the knowledge gained in mathematics lessons about the types of numbers, ways of handling numbers, formulas, the ability to transform them, the designation of physical quantities, units of measurement, etc. After each lesson, the student can include in the report on the passed topic, independently look for ways, life hacks for an easy and quick solution of the problem. It is necessary to combine theoretical knowledge, problem solving and parallel possession of experience. It is important for students to combine viewing the experience from a virtual laboratory, discussion, analysis, and preparation of a report, albeit a simple one. As a result, the authors note, thanks to the optimization of teaching subjects in interdisciplinary communication, many students in the classroom have developed the skills of easy and quick solution of problems of chemical content, increased interest in subjects.

Motivation makes a great contribution to the development of the educational process, contributing to students’ academic performance. Mastering the means of measuring motivation contributes to the analysis of the effectiveness of various learning strategies and technologies and the choice of pedagogical learning technologies. Some researchers suggest that animation can prevent students from getting a quality education and can lead to a wrong concept in the learning process. In the course of searching for a solution to this problem, we conducted a study of the Open Toonz animation program and the impact on students’ motivation to study using the motivation measurement tool IMMS. After completing the chapter "Atomic structure", we analyzed the impact of the animation created for this lesson on the quality of students' knowledge and the level of mastering the topic. In our study, classes were conducted in accordance with the college curriculum in atomic physics with coverage of 121 students. The classes were focused on determining the effectiveness of animation on the topic "Atomic Structure" using an IMMS survey. The level of assimilation of topics was analyzed by the questionnaire method. Using numerical methodology, students have shown that they can describe the structure of atoms after animated lessons. We also found out that using audio animation capabilities during the lesson improves students' thinking, helps to understand science more deeply, and use their knowledge during the lesson. Animations on the topic "Atomic structure" showed an increase in visual literacy of students. With the help of animation, most students began to distinguish the most important components of atoms: protons, neutrons, electrons and determine their structure. During the lesson, with the help of various animations, students comprehend the Rutherford atom model and form ideas about the structure of the atom.

The problem of harmonious achievement of the need for continuous formation of technological competencies of students through asynchronous learning determines the relevance of research work. At the same time, in general education schools, it is proposed to fully use the potential of computer science as a subject that allows to comprehensively improve professional literacy. The purpose of this article is to study the course of formation of an individual educational trajectory as a form of organization of educational activities of students in the development and construction of methods of organization of additional education, taking into account the specifics of the subject of computer science. In the course of the research, we used such theoretical methods as the analysis of pedagogical literature, textbooks on computer science, system analysis, comparative analysis, systematization of experimental data, modeling. The scientific article analyzes the concept of asynchronous learning in relation to the context of independent work. A model for practical application is proposed, which allows to increase the activity of independent work and the satisfaction of students with self-performed work.

The article is about the creativity and performance of women in the West Kazakhstan kuishi tradition. Ethnomusicology focuses on a topic that has not been studied in a special way, shows its relevance and role. Methods of analysis of states and the use of historical-comparative, comparative-typological, descriptive, ethnophonic systems were used in the article. The scope of the "restriction" imposed on the women's community, which originates from the Islamic religion, was used in a negative way, and at the same time, it was believed in society that the use of the concept of feminism in the wrong direction was alien to the mentality of the nation. In the pages of legends and scientific works, the names of the girls became unknown and were forgotten over time. Ways to solve the problems that arise in this context are discussed in the article. In the course of opening the topic, during the author's expedition, for the first time in the history of Kui of the XIX-XXI centuries, information about Kurish Kaliyeva was obtained, analyzed and clarified. In general, the analysis of the two directions of kuis of the Western region, the Musical and stylistic characteristics and performing skills were summed up. It is through the art of girls that an innovation (Dina style) is introduced into the kuishi tradition. Some of the touches and musical styles in the Kui school were found in the performance of these women. The music concealed the feeling of a fragile being who could not express her opinion in a two-way statement of her place in society, the unfair laws of the past, based on Kazakh customs, history and traditions. It was important that all this not only remained a legend, but was studied and turned into useful information for the growth of conscious generations in the future society.
