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

The aim of this study is to investigate how comprehensive neurobiology training influences the neuroeducational literacy of prospective Kazakhstani teachers. This study used mixed methods. The study had 216 participants. The findings indicated that the study participants found it difficult to identify the factors influencing the development of their neuroeducational literacy which indicated a lack of understanding by prospective teachers of the meaning of neuroeducation as well as the essence and features of neuroeducation. The neuroeducational literacy of the participants developed linearly and was integrated into the educational practice of the pedagogical university during the experiment. The use of the author's comprehensive instructions on neurobiology significantly increased neuroeducational literacy and also contributed to the professional development and successful educational practices of prospective teachers. These results make a practical contribution to research on the development of neuroeducational literacy among prospective teachers and can be implemented in pedagogical universities representing a new direction in preparing future specialists for neuroeducational activities.
