This study was conducted to investigate the psychosocial effects of parents' absence on children left behind in the Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan). A survey was conducted in 2018 with a sample of 457 secondary school children aged 11-18-years-old in the Kyrgyz Republic. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the psychological well-being of children was not significantly influenced when their parents were not divorced but did live separately. However, children with parents who lived abroad and were divorced did show a significant increase in their psychological distress when compared to children who lived with b . . .oth parents. Furthermore, children whose father was away and who were cared for by their mother only, were more likely to experience a lower level of psychological well-being than children who lived with both parents. Additionally, no significant effect on the well-being of children whose mothers or both parents had migrated was found More less

Today, technology is growing fast and person can’t imagine life without technology and social networking sites like Facebook. As statistics show, people almost all over the world use Facebook in every day (Newswire, 2014), (Madge et al, 2009). In this paper, we study the intention for SNSs usage and the attitude of students toward SNS based instruction in one of the universities in the Kyrgyz Republic (KR) Computerization in KR started relatively later than in the rest of the world (Aitymov, 2005; Google, Hyperakt, Vizzuality, 2011), there is still low internet penetration rate in some distant regions, consequently, the perception o . . .f SNS is slightly dissimilar in KR. The survey was conducted with a sample of 234 students from different departments. The dependence of frequency of SNS use on gender and academic major of students, as well as relation between frequency of use and willingness to use SNS for educational purpose was examined. Results show that even though Facebook is very popular among students; perception of educational use of SNS mostly depends on the social factors.

This study was conducted to examine students' performance in paper-based and online-based tests. In the context of the study, students' performances were considered in the General Physics course between 2014 and 2015 and 2018-2019 academic years. The participants of this study are 417 students of Engineering and Science faculties at a public university of Kyrgyz Republic. Students' achievement scores in paper-based and online-based tests were obtained and appropriate statistical analysis methods were employed. According to the results, students' demographic data (i.e. gender, faculty and major) have different effects on their perfor . . .mance, and students performed better in online-based tests compared to paper-based tests. Additionally, the study aimed to analyze instructor perceptions related to testing types that interviews were conducted with 26 instructors of the General Physics course. The majority of the instructors indicated that they experienced difficulties related to the traditional form of evaluation due to the following reasons: lack of time to give personal feedback to each student, lack of time for objective evaluation, and difficulty of evaluation of crowded student groups. Therefore, they indicated the necessity of online test implementation in the context of the General Physics course More less
