    (KAZGUU University. Nazarbayev University. The 2ndInternational Research Conferenceon Academic Integrityis a peerreviewed conference., 2017-05-19) Montgomery, D. P.; CohenMiller, A. S.; Kozhabayeva, K. R.; Orynbassarova, D. M.
    This paper seeks to better understand the general institutional characteristics and the specific participatory activities that help students in higher education develop research competence. This paper presents the first part of an ongoing mixed methods study which uses a quantitative survey of authors (N=30), peer reviewers (N=35) and editors (N=10), followed by qualitative interviews (N=9) of selected representatives from each role, in order to identify and evaluate the ways in which participation in a student-run peer-reviewed journal contributed to developing research competence. In this part, we discuss the state of scholarly research in Kazakhstan, and provide a definition of research competence, and present the methodology employed in this study. The second part of the study will identify strengths of the student-run project, opportunities for improvement, and considerations for application in similar contexts to improve research competence. In this way, it makes a concrete step toward understanding how to improve scholarly research in Kazakhstan.

    Hopes and Fears for the Future: Voices of Children from Kyrgyzstan
    (CiCe, 2007) Joldoshalieva Rahat, Shamatov, Duishon
    This study identifies children’s hopes and fears for the future and the role of education in Kyrgyzstan. Like other children, they were concerned about the environment, crime, violence, poverty and health but also about the revival of their national identity. Many worried about political and economic instability, hoping the new political regime would bring prosperity. They appeared to be active consumers of media, but their understanding of local and global issues was often superficial and their actions were teacher-directed and sometimes tokenistic.
