Relevance and Novelty: The growing use of artificial intelligence in education highlights the need to prepare teachers to integrate it effectively and responsibly into their teaching. The need to improve Kazakhstani students’ scientific literacy further underscores the importance of developing practical professional development programs for physics, chemistry, and biology teachers. The project’s scientific novelty lies in developing and empirically evaluating a teacher professional development model that combines subject knowledge, pedagogical approaches, and prompt engineering skills within STEM education. This model will inform the development of a training module that addresses subject-specific needs and the ethical use of AI.

Research Objective: To theoretically substantiate a professional development model aimed at strengthening physics, chemistry, and biology teachers’ competencies in using AI effectively in teaching, develop a “Prompt Engineering in STEM Education” training module based on this model, and empirically evaluate its effectiveness.

Topic: The Evolution of Anti-Colonial Ideas in Soviet Kazakh Prose and Their New Scholarly Interpretation

Relevance and Novelty:  

• A New Theoretical Approach to Soviet Kazakh Prose. This project aims to examine Kazakh prose of the Soviet period not merely through the lens of traditional historical-literary description, but from the perspectives of new theoretical approaches, particularly postcolonial and decolonial studies. To date, Soviet-era literature in Kazakh literary studies has generally received ambivalent assessments. On the one hand, it has been viewed as a broad literary space that enabled the development of national literature in terms of genre and style. On the other hand, scholarly attention has focused on the constraints imposed on literature by ideological pressure and censorship.
  This innovative approach seeks, above all, to move beyond interpretations of the Soviet era confined to official rhetoric surrounding concepts such as “Soviet modernization” and “internationalism.” By examining covert forms of colonialism and manifestations of ideological domination in literature within the framework of postcolonial discourse, the project makes it possible to situate Kazakh literature within the broader context of global colonial experience. This approach represents an important step towards integrating Kazakhstan’s national literary heritage into international scholarly discourse.

• A Systematic Study of Anti-Colonial Ideas across Three Major Historical Periods of the Soviet Era (the 1920s–1930s, 1940s–1950s, and 1960s–1980s). The second dimension of the project’s scientific novelty lies in its systematic examination of anti-colonial ideas across three major historical periods of the Soviet era: the 1920s–1930s, the 1940s–1950s, and the 1960s–1980s. Whereas previous studies have primarily focused on the creative evolution of individual writers or particular literary trends, this project seeks to identify the broader historical dynamics of anti-colonial thought as a coherent process.

• This approach makes it possible to trace the evolution of anti-colonial thought in Soviet Kazakh literature as an integrated historical process. Furthermore, identifying the ways in which sociopolitical changes in each period influenced literary techniques constitutes an important contribution to contemporary literary studies.Examining National Identity within the Context of Global Anti-Colonial Experience. The study opens up opportunities to examine national identity within the framework of Soviet discourse not only as a cultural phenomenon but also as an integral component of the global experience of resistance to colonialism. The expansion of research in this area is an important prerequisite for integrating Kazakh literature into the international field of postcolonial studies.

Research Objective: The objective of the project is to identify the historical stages in the evolution of anti-colonial ideas reflected in Kazakh prose of the Soviet period of the twentieth century, analyse their new interpretations in contemporary literary studies, and investigate, from both theoretical and historical perspectives, the ways in which national consciousness and historical memory are represented artistically.

Topic: Research and Implementation of Embedded Machine Learning Models for Local Processing of Sensor Data at the Edge Device Level in IoT Systems

Relevance and Novelty: The project addresses the need for fast, energy-efficient, and autonomous processing of sensor data in air quality monitoring systems. Its scientific novelty lies in developing embedded machine learning models optimized for microcontrollers to predict PM2.5, PM10, and CO₂ concentrations and partially compensate for sensor drift and measurement errors. This approach enables local data processing directly on Edge devices while reducing latency and energy consumption.

Research Objective: To investigate, develop, and implement a hardware-software complex for predicting air quality parameters using embedded machine learning models on Edge devices, thereby reducing latency, energy consumption, and data transmission volume in environmental monitoring systems.

Topic: Sharp Remainder Term Analysis for General Weighted Cylindrical and Sub-Elliptic Functional Inequalities

IRN: AP32523309

Project Manager: Yerkin Shaimerdenov

Scopus ID: 58958992800

ORCID: 0000-0003-1357-5295

Web of Science Researcher ID: AGW-6784-2022

Relevance and Novelty: Functional inequalities are essential tools for studying complex mathematical models and partial differential equations. The scientific novelty of the project lies in establishing new identities with sharp remainder terms for general weighted cylindrical and sub-elliptic inequalities. These remainder terms precisely measure the deviation from equality, making it possible to study the stability of extremal functions and determine conditions for the existence or non-existence of solutions to parabolic equations. The results will also be extended to stratified and homogeneous Lie groups.

Research Objective: The project aims to identify and analyse sharp remainder terms in general weighted cylindrical and sub-elliptic functional inequalities, use them to quantify the stability of extremal functions, and apply the resulting inequalities to existence and non-existence problems for parabolic partial differential equations in cylindrical settings and on Lie groups.

Topic: Polynomial Identities and Mutations of Algebras

ORCID: 0000-0001-6049-6800

Web of Science Researcher ID: KOD-6634-2024

Relevance and Novelty: In modern algebra and its applications, the theory of mutations is a new direction for studying non-associative structures. Identifying the polynomial identities that hold under mutations and describing their algebraic properties plays a critical role in refining mathematical models. The novelty of this project lies in the systematic study of mutation elements in perm, bicommutative, Novikov, and Zinbiel algebras to reveal their structural features and interconnections.

Research Objective: To conduct a systematic study of polynomial identities that hold under mutation, determine the structural properties of perm, bicommutative, Novikov, and Zinbiel algebras, and establish their relationships with other non-associative algebras.
