The article highlights the significance, methods, and practical opportunities of this process and justifies the role of artistic and aesthetic education in the educational system.
Keywords: artistic and aesthetic education, text analysis, primary school, creativity, speech culture.
Introduction
In the Republic of Uzbekistan, extensive reforms are being carried out to modernize the education system and bring it in line with contemporary standards. The decrees and resolutions of the President, decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers, and the principle of “New Uzbekistan begins at the doorstep of education” clearly demonstrate these reforms.
Particular attention is given to the primary education stage, as it plays a crucial role in shaping students’ spiritual maturity, aesthetic taste, and speech culture.
In recent years, a number of innovations have been introduced into primary education, including:
development and gradual implementation of new curricula;
organization of lessons through digital education platforms;
establishment of professional development courses for primary school teachers;
publication of new textbooks and manuals on literature and artistic-aesthetic education;
promotion of reading culture through state programs and various literary activities.
All these reforms aim to help students acquire modern knowledge, moral education, and respect for national and universal values.
Educational activities based on literary texts strengthen such moral qualities as kindness, patriotism, and friendship. Primary education is an important stage in the formation of students’ moral integrity, aesthetic taste, ethical qualities, and personal worldview.
Through text analysis, students’ artistic perception expands—they learn to understand life phenomena more deeply and develop creative thinking as well as an aesthetic sense.
Working with literary texts promotes moral ideas such as friendship, compassion, patriotism, and diligence. This not only fosters independent thinking but also helps students develop the ability to make morally sound life decisions.
Therefore, teaching literary works and organizing text analysis in primary classes plays an invaluable role in students’ aesthetic development, psychological growth, and personal education.
Text analysis also serves as an important tool for improving students’ speech culture. By analyzing the behavior of characters, students form their own attitudes toward social events and gain a deeper understanding of honesty, justice, empathy, and indifference.
The main goal of modern education is not only to provide knowledge but also to nurture well-rounded individuals. In this regard, the use of text analysis in primary education is of great importance. Through artistic and aesthetic education, children develop not only creative thinking but also aesthetic appreciation, national pride, and moral sensitivity.
In teaching reading literacy, the communicative approach plays a key role. Since language primarily functions as a means of communication, interactive, activity-based, exploratory, and critical approaches are prioritized.
Methodological Foundations of Text Analysis
Developing correct, fluent, expressive, and conscious reading skills through the analysis of literary content.
Analyzing a work’s theme, idea, imagery, and stylistic devices plays an essential role in the student’s personal development.
Understanding a text’s meaning based on students’ life experience is a key condition of effective text analysis.
Review of Related Literature
The issue of artistic and aesthetic education of primary school students has been widely studied in Uzbek and world pedagogy. Various scholars and methodologists have proposed effective ways to achieve educational and aesthetic goals through text analysis.
Abdulla Avloni, in his work “Turkiy Guliston yoki Axloq” (The Turkic Garden or Ethics), emphasized the inseparable connection between education and upbringing, especially the role of literary texts in instilling goodness and beauty in the young generation — a concept that remains relevant today.
Similarly, in I. A. Karimov’s book “High Spirituality is an Invincible Power,” the exceptional role of literature and art in nurturing spiritually mature youth is highlighted. Literary works, in particular, develop students’ sense of national pride and love for their homeland.
Modern Uzbek methodologists such as D. Makhmudova and O. Kochkarova have developed methods for working with texts in primary grades. Their research shows that the use of interactive methods significantly enhances students’ artistic and aesthetic taste.
Foreign educators, including Jean Piaget, in his theory of cognitive development, also confirmed that literary text analysis plays an essential role in shaping knowledge and values in children.
Main Part
In recent years, significant reforms have been carried out in Uzbekistan’s education system, especially in primary education. The policy based on the principle “New Uzbekistan – New Education” has been directed toward improving the quality of teaching and learning.
One of the most important innovations in primary education is the introduction of new state curricula, designed according to students’ age and psychological characteristics, aimed at developing independent thinking, creativity, and communication skills.
Furthermore, within the framework of the digital education concept, students are being taught computer literacy and the use of information technologies. Electronic resources, multimedia materials, and interactive platforms are actively integrated into lessons.
Improving teachers’ qualifications plays a key role in enhancing education quality. Professional training courses for primary school teachers now focus on modern pedagogical methods, STEAM technologies, and interactive approaches.
In addition, the inclusive education system is being widely implemented, ensuring equal learning opportunities for children with special needs and promoting social justice.
The new edition of the “Reading Literacy” textbook differs significantly from the previous versions. It contains engaging and age-appropriate materials aimed at developing reading, listening, speaking, writing, and grammar skills.
Analysis and Results
The primary school period is a decisive stage in a child’s personal development. During the research, text analysis sessions were conducted with students based on the tales “The Golden Melon” and “Zumrad and Qimmat.”
Through “The Golden Melon,” students learned to appreciate honesty, generosity, and loyalty, while understanding that greed and envy lead to negative consequences. The tale “Zumrad and Qimmat” strengthened positive traits such as modesty, kindness, and diligence.
Interactive activities such as drawing, dramatization, and expressive reading were included in the lessons. As a result, students’ speech culture, imagination, creative thinking, and aesthetic taste developed noticeably.
Artistic and aesthetic education thus fosters harmony in personal growth, laying the foundation for children to become spiritually mature, sensitive to beauty, and socially responsible individuals in the future.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the use of literary text analysis in primary education develops not only students’ reading skills but also their moral qualities, aesthetic sense, and creative thinking. Through the analysis of the tales “The Golden Melon” and “Zumrad and Qimmat,” students learn to distinguish between good and evil and to understand the importance of such human values as honesty, diligence, and compassion in real life.
Text analysis enables students to express their emotions, visualize artistic images, expand their vocabulary, and appreciate beauty. This process contributes to their spiritual maturity and positively influences their personal development.
Thus, literary text analysis is one of the most effective means of harmoniously developing moral and aesthetic education among primary school students.

This article analyzes the negative impact of cataract disease on vision, its medical and social consequences, and the available treatment methods. It provides a scientific assessment of how cataracts affect patients’ quality of life and social activity. Cataract is the most common cause of blindness worldwide and mainly occurs among elderly people. The article discusses the causes, clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods, and the most effective surgical treatments for the disease. In addition, it highlights the impact of cataract on patients’ quality of life and social activity, as well as the resulting demand on healthcare systems. The article emphasizes the importance of preventive measures and raises awareness of the need for public education in combating the disease. Cataract is a disease in which the lens of the eye loses its transparency, leading to impaired vision. It can affect one or both eyes. Treatment for cataract usually involves surgical removal of the damaged lens and replacement with an artificial one.

Introduction
Vision is an integral part of human life, determining how we perceive, understand, work, and experience the world around us. Among the most widespread diseases in today’s technological age that lead to vision impairment, cataract holds a special place. A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s lens, causing blurred, hazy, and unclear vision of the surrounding environment. This disease is not only a medical issue but also has significant social and psychological effects on human life.
Cataract (from the Greek katarrhaktes — waterfall) is the opacity of the eye’s lens. This condition partially blocks the passage of light rays entering the eye, sometimes resulting in complete vision loss. Cataract, caused by the clouding of the eye’s lens, is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 50% of global blindness is related to cataract. The condition is especially common among older adults, significantly affecting their daily activities, independence, and social engagement.
Etiology and Types of Cataract: Medical and Clinical Approach
Cataract is a disease characterized by the clouding of the eye’s lens due to various causes, leading to reduced visual ability. It may occur in congenital or acquired forms. Although it mostly develops in elderly individuals, it can appear at any age. Depending on the part of the lens affected, cataracts are classified into: anterior and posterior polar cataract, capsular cataract (affecting the capsule surrounding the lens), nuclear cataract (in the center of the lens), spindle-shaped, zonular or lamellar, complete membrane-like, polymorphic, and cortical cataract (affecting the peripheral layers of the lens). When clouding begins in the lens, it is called a primary cataract, while opacity that appears after lens surgery or removal of cataract mass is known as a secondary cataract.
The main causes of cataract include:
Hereditary factors
Aging
Inflammation of endocrine glands
Eye injuries or diseases
Long-term exposure to ultraviolet or radiation
Toxic exposure (toxic or intoxication-related cataract)
Deficiency of antioxidants
In children, cataract is usually congenital and appears during the first months of life. As the disease progresses, opaque spots form in the lens, gradually impairing vision. The symptoms often appear slowly, and many patients seek medical help only after significant vision loss.
Common symptoms of cataract include:
Blurred or cloudy vision
Fading of colors (white may appear yellowish, cream may look grayish)
Increased sensitivity to light (bright lights cause discomfort or pain)
Difficulty driving at night or seeing road signs
Eye strain or headaches caused by light glare
Double vision in one eye
Temporary improvement of nearsightedness (a sign of progression)
Types of Cataract
1. Congenital Cataract Congenital cataract develops due to various factors affecting the mother or fetus during pregnancy. The causes may include:
Exposure of the mother to toxic substances (chemicals, drugs, alcohol, smoking)
Vitamin deficiency (especially A and C)
Infectious diseases during pregnancy (measles, toxoplasmosis, rabies, flu, etc.)
Rh incompatibility (difference between maternal and fetal blood types)
Genetic disorders (e.g., Down syndrome, Marfan syndrome, galactosemia)
Congenital cataract is often detected at birth or develops slowly over time, reducing vision gradually. In some cases, it remains stable throughout life and only requires regular observation. However, if central vision is affected, surgery is necessary.
2. Acquired Cataract Acquired cataract develops later in life due to various external or internal factors. Its main types include:
a) Senile (Age-related) Cataract This is the most common form, typically seen in individuals over 55–60 years old. It results from natural aging and increased oxidative stress in the lens. Senile cataract progresses through four stages: initial, immature, mature, and overripe. Vision gradually becomes cloudy, glare appears, and bright lights scatter, creating multiple reflections.
b) Traumatic Cataract Caused by physical injury, blunt force, or burns to the eye. Damage to the lens structure leads to clouding, often appearing some time after the trauma.
c) Complicated Cataract Develops as a result of other eye diseases (e.g., glaucoma, iridocyclitis, uveitis) or systemic conditions (e.g., diabetes mellitus). Diabetic patients, in particular, are at high risk.
d) Radiation and Toxic Cataract Results from exposure to ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light, prolonged high temperature, or industrial toxins (such as mercury, lead, or naphthalene). Long-term use of corticosteroid medications may also increase the risk ofcataract formation.
Diagnosis
The following examinations are performed to diagnose cataract: • Visometry – assessment of visual acuity; • Biomicroscopy – examination of the condition of the lens; • Ophthalmoscopy – inspection of the fundus of the eye; • Ultrasonography – evaluation of ocular structures, especially useful in advanced cataract cases.
Prevention
To prevent the development of cataract, it is important to follow these measures: • Eat healthy foods rich in vitamins; • Protect the eyes from ultraviolet (UV) rays by wearing quality sunglasses; • Use special anti-glare glasses when working at a computer and give your eyes short breaks every 45 minutes; • Take vitamin supplements regularly to support eye health.
Conclusion
In conclusion, failure to treat cataract in a timely manner may lead to serious complications such as retinal detachment, secondary glaucoma, or even complete blindness. Cataract is also common among people suffering from diabetes, which is considered a high-risk condition. It is essential not to ignore the early signs of the disease and to consult an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
A healthy lifestyle, a vitamin-rich diet, protection from UV rays, and regular eye rest can help prevent cataract development. Furthermore, undergoing an eye examination at least once a year plays a vital role in maintaining good eye health.

She sat on a greenish boulder beside a lake beneath a maple tree. Her soft little hands were trembling with the weight of the letter she was holding, a letter of goodbye from someone who once used to sit next to her on this same boulder. They used to compete on who could throw rocks farthest into the lake. In her mind, she was lost in a typhoon on a wrecked ship with no signs of shore.” Tears kept running down her eyes from her cheeks to her chin, later turning into white shiny pearls dropping on the letter, blurring the words:
“My love, you are the sole beacon of fire, Fervor of my life, Elixir of my soul’s Obscurity. I forget how to breathe in your absence, I’m just a body whose soul is entrapped within yours. Each night I spend in this dugout staring at the stars, the brightest of them reminds me of you. The cold dazzling wind in my ear whispers your name. I close my eyes and see you in my arms, as if Vega itself has landed on Earth. Sometimes fire shells land near my dugout. Every day feels as if it’s going to be my last. It does not unnerve me, for love of my soil steels my heart.”
“It ignites a fire of passion in me, laying down my life for my country, so that I can honor the oath to which this uniform bound me. And the thoughts of me returning to you bloom a garden of daisies in the barren lands of my heart. If death finds me, when we are apart, I promise you to accompany you as a sheltering maple tree beside the lake where we sit, play and laugh. As a full moon brightening your darkness, as night jasmine blossoming a fragrance around you, as the rainbow that comes after rain. As the spring that comes after the autumn, and as a melody of love that adds rhythm to your a capella. If Death takes me away from you, I shall return to you as my letters of love to you, and if my corpse is placed in front of you, just know I’m standing right beside you, grasping your shoulder, holding you close to me, and like a brave lady, accept my keepsakes of valor with a smile.”
Amidst the typhoon on the wrecked ship, she was moving towards shore, but suddenly someone called her name. The shore disappeared, she began to drown. She screamed, struggled to reach the surface, but it was no help. She fell deeper and deeper, but it wasn’t merely a physical ocean, it was the oceans of her sorrow, which engulfed her and her world, bit by bit.
“Amber, Amber! The ambulance is here!” said her childhood friend Anne. Anne paused, looking at the ambulance. “He kept his word. He came back.”

In the Play “My First Ex-Husband” Ex-Wives Discover Their Superpower
Joy Behar exposes marital complexities with caustic & hilarious wit currently touring at a city near you…
By Jacques Fleury
Joy Behar, legendary comedienne and co-host of The View, gives us an intrepid and authentic adaptation of true stories with serrated comicality–minus any sort of politically correct filters. The play is an introspective of the often-muddled hysterical realities of love, sex, and relationships. Whether you’re joyfully united, guardedly devoted, or considering altering the locks, relationships are intricate—and collectively associable. These stories could be all our stories, except wittier. The basic premise of the show is every weekend, an ensemble of four stars from theatre, television, and film join the show, bringing their inimitable dispositions to voice these tales that may be uncannily familiar to you or someone you know. Shocking yet profoundly germane to the times, this show will reverberate with anyone who has piloted the tempestuous and often prickling seas of love. In addition to other titillating surprises, the show contests and questions ideologies of patriarchal authority, blind loyalty, self-esteem, physical and psychological abuse, gaslighting, subservience, physical and emotional constraints, lack of respect and more…The play showed to sold out crowds at the Huntington Calderwood at the Boston Center for the Arts in September of 2025 and will resume touring possibly in a city near you. According to the My First Ex-Husband website pending performances will at the following cities: Florida, California, Washington, Colorado, Texas, Connecticut and more…
“The stories are very relatable,” utters playwright Joy Behar. “Even if you never got a divorce, you still have problems with in-laws…or sex, or kids, or money… Marriage is a work in process all the time.” Behar was emphatic about how “true” the ex-husband stories are but said that they were admittedly tweaked for dramatic effects…A touchy yet facetious aspect of the play was when members of the “Ex-Husband” ensemble related tales of how their husbands used to cause them to feel insecure by poking fun at their weight, or “subtly hinting” that they need to improve their appearances to fit their husband’s standards of beauty. The fat jokes scored big and landed like a hilarious thud with audience members.
My First Ex-Husband is a visceral emotionally charged experience that explores and shatters any preconceived notions of marital uniformity. It extrapolates on the gradations, conceptions and misconceptions of marriage lore. With her signature brand of dynamic caustic and facetious wit, Joy Behar “brought it” to the Calderwood Pavilion stage at Boston Center for the Arts along with three of her equally funny female cohorts: Veanne Cox, Judy Gold, and Tonya Pinkins.
When you are embarking on the often symbiotic and potentially precarious journey of marriage, the core of you are could pose as a barrier or asset depending on who you married and your ever evolving marital circumstances. The play “My First Ex-Husband” can serve as a cautionary tale when entering marriage or any type of relationships in your lifetime. Times Square Chronicle declares that My First Ex-Husband “appeals to men, women, and anyone who has ever been in a relationship.” And I couldn’t agree more…
We are entering the dawn of a post “Me Too Movement” era, where women find personal freedom to discover their own versions of their authentic selves while redefining their own notion of beauty, not what their husbands or patriarchal society’s vision of what they think beautiful should be… In the grand scheme of things, I think until you get to know yourself and find out what your source of power is, you’ll be disconnected from the world hence you would only be moved by external circumstances, not discovering that you’re the one who makes things happen. In “My First Ex-Husband,” the women discover not only that their super power is self-love and self-respect but also that “true love” is one that frees not imprisons.
“My First Ex-Husband” has prodigious comic timing and socially conscious substance suitable to the times… A witty, emotionally charged and colorful artistic theatrical brush stroke of daring dramedy! I give this in-your-face smartly premeditated rumpus a 5 out of 5 stars!
