Pedagogical Сhallenges Of Implementing the Ideas of Jadid Schools in Higher Education
Abstract
The systematic study of mechanisms for applying the Jadid pedagogical concept to the contemporary educational process is of particular interest given the relevance of the problem. Aim. The purpose of this research is to provide scientific-theoretical justification and practical improvement of mechanisms for utilizing the pedagogical concept of Jadid schools in the transition to modernized education. Methodology and research methods. A methodology for applying historical-pedagogical heritage to the contemporary educational process is developed, and new methodological approaches to comparative analysis and adaptation of pedagogical concepts are created. The research demonstrates how Jadid pedagogy emerged as a response to the limitations of the traditional school system, implementing innovative methodologies that included phonetic literacy instruction (usuli savtiya), integration of secular sciences, and mother tongue education. Particular attention is given to the contribution of Bukharan Jadids—specifically the activities of Mahmudkhoja Behbudi, Abdurauf Fitrat, and Sadriddin Ayni, as well as their confrontation with the conservative religious environment. Results. The article analyzes the dialectical relationship between reform and tradition, revealing how Jadid schools in Bukhara synthesized Islamic scholarly heritage with European Enlightenment principles. Research findings indicate that despite severe political opposition and a limited period of activity, Jadid educational institutions fundamentally transformed Central Asian pedagogy and created the foundation for modern national educational systems. Scientific novelty. This research contributes to contemporary educational reform discourse by demonstrating historical precedents for balancing cultural identity and global educational standards. Practical significance. The practical significance of the research lies in identifying ways to utilize lessons from the Jadid experience in strategies for phased implementation of educational reforms.
