The research was focused on the book Your Body, where vocabulary connected to body was being taught. New vocabulary was presented in the context, afterwards, new vocabulary and phrases were being thought through the mind maps. The case study approach was used to get an in-depth analysis of the research problem. The main aim of the research was to connect language and content, where the main emphasis was put on the content.

The national project Trinity of Languages announced in Kazakhstan has brought forward multilingual education throughout the country. The project requires the implementation of rigorous learning tools to master the Kazakh, Russian and English languages within trilingualism. An e-dictionary to be used in content and language integrated learning is among modern e-tools promoted in a trilingual school environment. A user-friendly biological e-dictionary will help high school learners grasp fundamental concepts in natural sciences. The article aims to describe how to analyze and systemize the lexicographic material selected for developing a trilingual e-dictionary of biological terms for Kazakhstani school learners. Determining sources of vocabulary chosen was based upon a linguocultural approach, which highlights the cultural aspect embodied in the language, and mind-mapping, which allows deconstructing complex topics graphically. Twenty-eight items were selected to cover the biology school course, which was later analyzed and systemized to consistently present generic and species features via mind-mapping. Then organic unification of the items and compositional parameters of the e-dictionary were determined. The obtained findings show that a linguocultural component is embedded in a trilingual e-dictionary of biological terms that are taken from relevant Kazakh and Russian school textbooks (grades 6–11). The selected items are classified and subject to linguocultural analysis in conceptual groups which may show phytonyms and zoonima. The items are supplied with an adequate linguocultural commentary taken from English-language reference books and websites. The conceptual groups and linguistic analysis are displayed via the mind map Coggle used for the e-dictionary frame formation. The proposed linguocultural component embedded in the edictionary is rare in other existing trilingual e-dictionaries since they focus primarily on lexicographic material and their visual representation. Overall, the trilingual e-dictionary created in mind-mapping software is an effective etool for high school learners to study biological terms with their linguocultural commentaries.

The prevention of cognitive dismoderate intercourse depends on the distinction of the basic behavioral stereotypes, blocking, moderation (this is a moderate, correct measure) regarding the adequate processing of information between the reflective representations of personality and the importance of the process of personality of communication. The study identifies the main aspects of the relationships of children in the family environment, influencing the process of cognitive dismoderate intercourse, through a projective methodology. Inductive for inferior interactions between family members is the arrangement of the drawings on the left side of the leaf, predominantly in pale colors. The importance of perception, as a sensory perception in children's drawings, is projected, as a reflection of things in the mind, through the sensory organs, indicative of cognitive dismoderate intercourse, is the blunting of the basic logical conclusions of the communicative process in the preponderance of emotional conclusions. The pale colors in the children's drawings, as well as the too bright ones, are indicative of cognitive deficits in communication. The reflective attitude of children to the events and events of their relationships with their parents influences the process of immediate active reflection on the cognitive spheres in the human mind, through internally personal and external objects, situations, positions, phenomena that determine the dysmoderate breaking of feedback in interactions. A large percentage of the students surveyed do not portray their family members holding hands, which is indicative of the lack of trust between family members, in their joint communication processes, they doubt their sincerity towards each other. Distant figures of family members are observed in the images in children's drawings; in practice, this is an indicator of alienation between family members. Basically, children's drawings lack eyelashes, when depicting family members, this is indicative of the lack of interest of family members towards each other. The lack of understanding of the problematic relationships between parents and children enhances the process of cognitive dismoderate intercourse between them, this type of relationship, the children transfer to the school environment. When children draw long arms in the image of their family, this indicator shows the presence in the mind of the child of an overbearing, arrogant and mentally burdensome person. The preventive importance of social interactions and attitudes has emerged, through the indicators of children's drawings indicating the behavioral tendencies and energy charge of adolescents, mainly in their behavior, a rich emotional world of manifested emotions is observed, but most of them are of a negative nature due to blocking and behavioral stressors.

This article presents a practical and collegial model of problem solving that is based upon the literature in supervision and cognitive learning theory. The model and the procedures it generates are applied directly to supervisory interactions in the public school environment. Specific principles of supervision and related recommendations for collaborative problem solving are discussed. Implications for public school supervision are addressed in terms of continued professional growth of both supervisees and supervisors, interdisciplinary team functioning, and renewal and retention of public school personnel.
