“…Это базовая специальная грамотность, которая обеспечивает принятие обоснованных решений в вопросах здоровья и представляет собой один из «навыков XXI в.» [Фадель, Бялик, Триллинг, 2018]. Подобные сложные многокомпонентные конструкты сложно представить в виде классической одномерной (однокомпонентной) характеристики респондентов, поэтому для их оценки используются композитные инструменты [Federiakin et al, 2021]. В период эпидемического кризиса ГЗ оказалась особенно значимой как на популяционном, так и на индивидуальном уровне.…”

Health literacy (HL) is often discussed in the context of school curricula, however there is a lack of published and varified instruments for evaluating HL in schoolaged children in Russia. This article presents the step-by-step development of a multidimensional assessment method of health literacy (MMHL) for middle-school children. The conceptual model is based on a review of international experience of HL measurement and includes three functional sections — autonomy, motivation, and practice; and four themes — hygiene, daily routine, nutrition and physical activity. The final version of the instrument consists of 54 questions in 9 scales: access to information, beliefs, trust, amotivation, extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, critical thinking, communication, and action. Work was carried out in five stages: 1) expert evaluation and verification of content validity; 2) small pilot study (N = 92) to test face validity; 3) large pilot study (N = 313) for the primary assessment of psychometric characteristics; 4) final study on a larger sample (N = 1095) to confirm the psychometric characteristics and to explore the factor structure of the instrument; 5) analysis of the distribution of test scores and the establishment of threshold values for interpreting the results. The developed instrument has good indicators of validity and reliability. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis shows that the data corresponds with the theoretical model. Threshold values allow using this instrument not only in theoretical studies but also for solving practical pedagogical tasks. Therefore this instrument can be recommended for use in educational institutions as a diagnostic tool for assessing the motivation and HL of students.

“…In addition, Federiakin et al (2021) notes that the concept of mathematical literacy allows for the formation of a quality foundation for the modernization of students' competence, as well as deepening their understanding and familiarization with established mathematical concepts. Based on this, the researcher emphasizes the advantage of students who are able to carry out qualitative cognition and expand abstract views on mathematics.…”

To identify the level of education of schoolchildren in different countries of the world, the OECD conducts international studies in the field of education. Comparative results of these studies make it possible to determine the effectiveness of national educational systems contributing to adapting programs for modernization and reform of educational systems. This study aims to develop mathematical literacy among 15-year-old students of the Republic of Kazakhstan by developing the basic skills of the 21st century in solving practice-oriented problems. An experimental study was conducted to determine teachers' attitudes toward the formation of mathematical literacy among schoolchildren. The study involved 32 teachers. The Analysis of the results of the survey revealed that the majority of teachers had a negative attitude towards the formation of mathematical literacy among schoolchildren, substantiating their points of view by the fact that the formation and development of mathematical knowledge and skills by itself contributed to the development of skills in the 21st century. Only 11% of teachers could accurately indicate those tasks, out of the seven tasks presented for consideration, in the solution of which schoolchildren had shown critical, systemic thinking. An analysis of geometry textbooks used in schools of the Republic of Kazakhstan showed that out of the total number of educational tasks studied in geometry lessons, the share of practice-oriented tasks comprised less than 3%. Based on the results of the experimental study, it is concluded that it is necessary to develop appropriate methodological approaches that contribute to the formation of mathematical literacy among schoolchildren using the learning tasks of the school geometry course.

“…This term in its modern understanding implies mastering the basics of the mathematical language, development of logical thinking in addition to assimilation of materials by students in terms of calculation and solving of arithmetic problems. Thus, permanent monitoring of the quality of mathematical literacy adaptation forms an important component of the educational system in the Kyrgyz Republic (Federyakin et al, 2021;Kellaghan & Greaney, 2019;Zhamakeeva et al, 2016). The results of collecting reliable information on learning outcomes could provide a valuable framework for development of appropriate educational policies at various levels, including primary school.…”

The article considers the current status of mathematics literacy of primary school students in the context of the international research conducted by IRSA, as well as the factors supporting mathematical competence of students and role of curricula and textbooks in formation of student achievements in mathematics provided in schools characterized by the Kyrgyz language of instruction. The methodology for analysis of the content of the 4th grade textbook for schools with the Kyrgyz language of instruction is provided and the constructive specifics of mathematics tests, adaptation and localization of a tool included in the SAMtool package in a foreign language environment are also considered. SAM tool adaptation includes: translation of tests into the Kyrgyz language, verification at the national level, verification at the international level, approbation, test content analysis. Tool localization includes: preparation of final versions of tests, their translation into Kyrgyz, translation of questionnaires for students and teachers, conducting a workshop in district education departments with school coordinators, conducting a full-scale localization in individual districts and cities of Kyrgyzstan on the basis of sampling, processing and analysis of data. After interpreting results of the conducted international research of primary school students in the Kyrgyz Republic some conclusions and recommendations have been made in order to improve the overall quality of mathematics education in primary schools of the republic.
