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.

The participants were 37 university teachers of physical education and 145 students from two universities in Kazakhstan. The proposed approaches and methods represent a process of future teacher training which includes the stages: initial, main and final. Instructional intervention was employed at the final stage: the authors developed and introduced a special course for prospective teachers titled "Development of Schoolchildren's Health and Modern Health-promoting Technologies”. Tests, surveys, and questionnaires have been used during the intervention to test the course efficiency. The majority of respondents (79%) consider it necessary to utilize health-promoting methods and techniques at different stages of the lesson in the process of teaching the discipline.
