The State of Using the Heritage of the Ancients in Primary School Textbooks
Abstract
This study examines the use of values inherited from ancient times in primary school textbooks. Specifically, it focuses on how the works of the New Methodist school's supporters were integrated into Uzbekistan's educational system across different historical periods and their impact on the moral education of primary school students. Spanning from the early 1900s to the present day, the role and utilization of these works in education have been subjected to criticism and bans under Soviet pressure. In the post-independence period, the inclusion of this pedagogical heritage in textbooks has increased, yet the study reveals that this integration is still insufficient and does not fully meet the educational needs. The research highlights the importance of a more comprehensive use of these historical educators' works, proposing recommendations to enrich the moral and educational development of students.
