Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to conduct a SWOT analysis of online and work‐integrated learning in higher educational institutions in Kazakhstan. The participants of the study were 117 s‐year students from Toraigyrov University. Students filled out electronic SWOT matrices after completing a three‐month period of online and work‐integrated learning. The results of the SWOT analysis revealed that the key strengths of online learning in Kazakhstan include its flexibility, accessibility of educational materials and individualisation of the learning process. Weaknesses included the lack of live interaction with instructors and peers, insufficient feedback and technical difficulties. Opportunities for online learning involve access to global education and the enhancement of digital literacy. Threats encompass social isolation, demotivation and potential declines in education quality. The study's practical significance lies in the potential application of its results for enhancing online and work‐integrated learning in Kazakhstan, as well as the development of hybrid educational programmes.
