EDUCATING STUDENTS IN THE SPIRIT OF NATIONAL AND UNIVERSAL VALUES THROUGH THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WORLD AND UZBEK LITERATURE

Abstract

This article examines methods for fostering national and universal values in students through the comparative analysis of world and Uzbek literature. Pedagogical approaches, methods, and technologies are considered from a competency-based perspective. Using the epics Alpomish and The Odyssey, the study analyzes moral and ethical value development through characters, events, and symbolism. Methods such as comparative tables, character analysis, critical thinking cards, and symbolism exploration are presented. These approaches enhance students’ independent thinking, creativity, and communication skills. Additionally, scholarly articles and films can support classroom learning. Consequently, literature lessons promote not only knowledge acquisition but also students’ moral and cultural development.
