RECONCEPTUALIZING THE PEDAGOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ALISHER NAVOI’S HERITAGE IN EDUCATING THE YOUNG GENERATION
Abstract
Alisher Navoiy’s literary heritage represents one of the most valuable cultural and spiritual treasures of Uzbek and world literature. His works embody profound moral values, humanistic ideals, and philosophical reflections that remain relevant in contemporary society. This article explores the pedagogical significance of Alisher Navoiy’s creativity in educating the young generation within the framework of modern educational paradigms. Drawing upon axiological pedagogy, literary didactics, and value-oriented education, the study analyzes effective methods of integrating Navoiy’s works into the teaching–learning process. The article highlights the role of literature as a powerful educational tool for shaping students’ moral consciousness, national identity, and cultural awareness. The findings suggest that systematic and methodologically grounded teaching of Navoiy’s heritage enhances learners’ ethical development, critical thinking, and appreciation of classical literature. The study concludes that literary education grounded in national heritage plays a crucial role in fostering spiritually mature and intellectually competent individuals.
