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

This study delves into the world of primary school students in Western Kazakhstan, exploring their happiness and well-being within the framework of the IRN AP19678139 project. Through the eyes of these young learners, the research investigates the factors that contribute to their overall sense of well-being, including friendships, access to education, family support, safety, and technology. Utilizing a mix of playful activities, interviews, and surveys tailored to their age group, insights are gathered from 285 enthusiastic participants. The findings illuminate the diverse experiences and emotions of primary school students, revealing nuances in their well-being levels and highlighting areas for improvement. By listening to the voices of these young individuals, this study aims to inform policies and initiatives that promote happiness and create a nurturing environment for their growth and development in Western Kazakhstan's educational landscape.
