Results suggest that these tasks foster critical thinking and self-directed learning. The study's implications highlight the need for educators to adopt practice-oriented methodologies to improve functional literacy in natural sciences
Challenges and Prospects of Globalisation in Third World Countries
Full text linkGlobalization involves the free movement of goods, services, ideas, and people across borders, significantly impacting third world countries, particularly in Africa. While it fosters economic growth and access to new technologies, it also exacerbates issues like marginalization, income inequality, job losses, and cultural homogenization.

Using secondary data from academic sources and reports, and grounded in the hyper-globalization theory, the research identifies major challenges such as brain drain, poverty, environmental degradation, and unemployment. The study suggests strategies like self-reliant economic policies, fair trade, protection of local industries, and equitable wealth distribution to mitigate these challenges. The findings highlight the need for sustainable development and structural reforms to maximize the benefits of globalization while minimizing its negative impacts
The Term “Sart” in Central Asian Historiography
Full text linkThe term "Sart" holds contested significance in Central Asian historiography, encompassing ethnic, social, and linguistic dimensions. Historically associated with ancient Uzbek ethnonyms, its usage evolved, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries, sparking debates among Russian and local scholars. Despite its widespread application, the term was often an externally imposed identifier, resisted by intellectuals like Sherali Lapin and Makhmudhoja Bekhbudi. Addressing the knowledge gap on its historical transformations, this study employs a historical-ethnographic method, analyzing primary sources, field studies, and academic discourse. Findings reveal that "Sart" lost relevance amid early 20th-century ethnic consolidation, reflecting broader processes of national identity formation in Central Asia. These results underscore how socio-political dynamics shape ethnic terminology, offering valuable insights for understanding identity construction in regional historiography
