Poetry from Ri Winters

ocean

my head is an ocean
in which I more frequently drown than swim.
my mouth is a loaded gun
and I am the finger that holds the trigger.
sometimes I cannot stop myself
from getting tangled in the algae of my depression,
from drowning in a sea of anxiety.
sometimes I cannot stop myself
from firing on the first one to cross my path.

my head is a void,
an endless continuum in which I often find myself lost.
as I walk through the gates at the precipice of nothingness
I am greeted with only a baleful silence.
with every step I take in my own mind
I fear that I will slip into the deep
and never be able to return again.
my head is an ocean
in which I more frequently drown than swim.

Today, the reforms carried out in the education system require future teachers to deeply master modern pedagogical approaches. The use of didactic games and modern interactive methods is important in teaching.

Didactic games increase students’ interest in the lesson and make them active participants. For example, in the role-playing game method, students take the role of a certain profession or pedagogue and solve a problem situation. In this process, they apply their theoretical knowledge in practice. Or through a game organized in the form of a question-and-answer competition, students strengthen the topic and test their knowledge based on healthy competition.


The brainstorming method, which is one of the modern teaching methods, also develops students’ independent thinking. For example, students are asked to express different ideas by setting a problem on a new topic, in which each idea is appreciated and a general conclusion is drawn. This method is used by students forms the ability to think freely and defend one’s point of view.


The cluster method is also one of the effective methods, for example, a certain concept is written on the board, and students branch out their thoughts related to this concept. As a result, a comprehensive idea of the topic is formed This method is especially useful in the systematization of theoretical topics.

Through the insert method, students analyze their knowledge in the process of working with the text. They confirm the information they know during the study, determine new information and identify incomprehensible aspects, which develops students’ independent learning skills.


Case study, that is, the method of analyzing problematic situations, can also be widely used in specialized subjects. For example, students are given a pedagogical situation and asked to find a solution to the problem. This increases the ability to work in a team.


The use of information and communication technologies has also become an integral part of the modern lesson. Presentations, videos, online tests and lessons organized using interactive platforms attract the attention of students. For example, quick assessment
through electronic test or explanation of the topic through interactive presentations.

Poetry from Su Yun

1.雪原

——放丢了绿野,便难逃白雪

无路可走

没收我带

着温热的

寒栗不休

缘身修衣

沿路拾柴

Snowfield

—Losing the green wild, one can never flee the white snow

No path to tread

It seizes the grief

I carry, still warm

Chills surge unceasing

I start

To mend my robe round the frame

Gather firewood along the way

To patch the gaps

Where the green wild fled

From the wall

2.年碑

——为你做碑

只攒了些许

清楚

流尽落款

Epitaph of the Year

—Carving a stele for you

I only gather a little

Clarity

Till the ash of the signature

Runs dry

Unfurl the snow

Wending east

Stand as a stele

Facing south

In the coming year

Of the Chinese toon, the poplar, the elm

A pile sinks

A generation rise

3.阴天

Overcast Day

I’m used to it

Winter’s mother

Keeps the bitter chill

Lingering, fraying

Once in a while, coy

Reluctant

By force of habit

Turns out she

Holds it long

Before she sends forth

The seed

Warmed and mild

I run to bury it

It won’t

I cannot catch up

I set my heart on

Mother stands still

mud snails run aground

I pick them up

Yet my steps are

Аннотация : В данной статье рассматривается значение мотивации и дисциплины в процессе достижения личных целей. Мотивация выступает источником первоначального импульса, тогда как дисциплина обеспечивает устойчивость и регулярность действий. В статье анализируются внутренние факторы самоконтроля, формирование привычек и личная ответственность как основа долгосрочного успеха.

Ключевые слова: Мотивация, дисциплина, личные цели, саморазвитие, устойчивость

Introduction: 

   In modern society, achieving personal goals has become increasingly challenging due to constant distractions and high expectations. Many individuals start their journey with strong motivation yet fail to maintain progress over time. This raises an important question: what truly determines success? This article argues that while motivation initiates action, discipline sustains it. Understanding the balance between these two elements is essential for long-term personal development

Motivation as a Starting Force: 

   Motivation is the psychological energy that pushes an individual toward a desired outcome. It can be intrinsic, driven by personal values and satisfaction, or extrinsic, influenced by rewards or social recognition. Intrinsic motivation is generally more sustainable, as it aligns with a person’s identity and long-term aspirations. However, motivation is often unstable and influenced by emotions, environment, and temporary circumstances

Discipline as a Stability Mechanism: 

   Discipline is the ability to act consistently regardless of emotional state. Unlike motivation, discipline does not rely on mood or inspiration. It is built through routines, self-control, and conscious decision-making. Individuals who develop disciplined habits are more likely to continue working toward their goals even during periods of low motivation.

Statistical Example and Explanation:   

   According to a study conducted by the American Psychological Association, individuals who rely primarily on habits rather than motivation are 40% more likely to achieve long-term goals. This statistic demonstrates that discipline-based systems, such as daily routines and measurable plans, significantly increase the probability of success by reducing dependence on emotional motivation

Continuation of the Article:

   Combining motivation and discipline creates a powerful framework for personal growth. Motivation provides direction, while discipline ensures execution. When individuals learn to act first and wait for motivation later, productivity and confidence increase. Over time, disciplined actions reinforce motivation, creating a positive feedback loop.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, motivation and discipline are not opposing forces but complementary elements of success. Motivation ignites the desire to change, while discipline transforms that desire into results. True achievement comes from understanding that progress depends not on how one feels, but on how consistently one acts. Developing discipline allows individuals to move forward even when motivation fades.

My Life Path and Aspirations for the Future

I, Nishonboyeva Shahnoza, was born on October 28, 2001, in Yangi Gulboq village of Mingbuloq district, Namangan region. The rural environment, sincere people, and a lifestyle based on hard work played a significant role in shaping my worldview. There are two sons and one daughter in our family, and I am the only daughter. This taught me from an early age to be responsible, patient, and determined in pursuing my goals.

The role of my parents in my life is invaluable. My father, Botirov Ma’murjon, was born on August 16, 1968. His diligence, honesty, and determination have always been a great example for me. My mother, Akbarova Gulchehra, was born on February 15, 1971. Her kindness, patience, and constant support have been the greatest foundation in helping me reach where I am today. The upbringing and confidence given by my parents encourage me to take bold steps in life.

Currently, I am a fourth-year student at Kokand State University, consistently striving to gain knowledge. During my student years, I have not limited myself to academic studies alone; I have worked on self-development and acquiring modern knowledge and skills. As a result of my efforts, I developed a strong interest in mental arithmetic. I earned certificates in this field and established a mental arithmetic course for children.

Today, the achievements of my students are my greatest accomplishment. Their enthusiasm for learning and every success they achieve give me even greater responsibility and inspiration. My main goal is to help my students reach higher levels, develop their potential, and contribute to their becoming globally recognized young individuals in the future. Along this path, I continue to learn, obtain new certificates, and expand my knowledge.

The role of my parents-in-law and my spouse in my achievements is also extremely significant. Their trust, constant assistance, and support give me the strength to overcome any difficulties.

Another important goal for my future is to work in a preschool educational institution and become a strong and experienced educator. Over time, I aspire to rise to the position of director, relying on my knowledge and experience, and achieve high results in the field of education. Of course, this path requires continuous hard work, self-improvement, and professional development. I am ready for it.

Pedagogical Foundations of Moral Education and Worldview Formation in Primary School Students

Abstract:

This article explores the pedagogical foundations of moral education and the formation of worldview in primary school students. The primary education stage is a crucial period in personality development, during which moral education, norms, social values, and initial worldview are formed in students. The article analyzes the essence and content of moral education and worldview, as well as their role in the development of the student’s personality. It is concluded that a properly organized pedagogical process contributes to the formation of positive moral qualities and a broad worldview in students.

Keywords: primary education, morality, moral education, worldview, pedagogical foundations, educational methods.

Primary education is the main stage where a student’s attitude toward knowledge, tendency to imitate, interest in learning, and activity are formed. Therefore, instilling moral virtues and embedding national and universal values is an important pedagogical task. The integrity of education and upbringing processes plays a key role in forming a positive worldview in students.

Today, in the context of globalization, educating the younger generation to be morally mature, with strong beliefs and a correct worldview, is one of the most pressing issues. From this perspective, studying the pedagogical foundations of moral education and worldview formation in primary school students is of significant scientific and practical importance. The country’s education system, i.e., academic institutions, not only provide theoretical knowledge but also focus on raising morally educated youth, which is currently a requirement of the times. It is no secret that the importance of moral education is steadily increasing worldwide.

Morality has a historical and changing character; moral norms are defined by social conditions and vary across different strata of society. A moral norm is recognized by society and is a rule whose compliance can be obligatory or voluntary. To ensure that primary school students remember and understand morality easily, it can be defined as follows: “Morality is behaving politely, respecting elders, helping friends, speaking truthfully, and doing good deeds.”

Moral education is a purposeful pedagogical process aimed at developing in students the moral norms, behavior, and values accepted by society. Moral education in primary education is particularly important because at this stage, children begin to form an understanding of behavior, habits, and worldview. Through observation and imitation of teachers and parents, children quickly acquire moral qualities.

When forming moral education in primary school students, it is important to consider the ideas of great thinkers, as our ancestors highlighted high virtues such as human perfection, morality, honesty, justice, compassion, and patriotism in their works. Their perspectives have retained their value over the centuries and still serve as a strong theoretical and moral basis for educating the younger generation. The lives and activities of these thinkers serve as exemplary models for students because they demonstrated a pursuit of knowledge, diligence, and moral excellence. Furthermore, the universal and national values promoted in their works help form a correct worldview, national pride, and moral maturity in primary school students. Therefore, using the heritage of great thinkers in moral education is pedagogically important and effective. The ethical views of Eastern scholars help cultivate humanity in students’ hearts.

Along with moral education, students’ worldview gradually develops. Modern psychology considers worldview as a part of personal development. The foundation of worldview is formed by scientific knowledge.

Worldview is the system of a person’s knowledge, concepts, values, and beliefs about existence, nature, society, humanity, and the meaning of life. It determines a person’s attitude toward events, behavior, and life position. Worldview is not just a collection of knowledge; it also encompasses inner beliefs, attitudes toward values, and goals. Its formation is a continuous process influenced by education, social environment, family upbringing, and personal experience.

The foundation of worldview is laid during primary school years. At this stage, children perceive surrounding events in a simple but emotionally intense way. Therefore, education provided at this stage directly influences their future perspectives. Students learn mostly through observation, imitation, and practical activity. Their worldview develops through the teacher’s personality, family environment, classroom processes, and social surroundings. In particular, a teacher’s personal example, fair and caring attitude contributes to forming positive perspectives in students.

The following methods are used to develop worldview in students:

Integrating education and upbringing;

Ethical conversations and educational hours;

Explaining through tales, stories, and instructive proverbs;

Group games and activities;

Instilling national and universal values.

In addition, fostering independent thinking, encouraging questioning, and teaching problem-solving also broadens students’ worldview.

Conclusion:

Primary education is the foundation of personality development. At this stage, students begin to form moral virtues, national values, and worldview. In shaping these qualities, it is essential to use the works of great scholars and thinkers to guide children correctly and teach knowledge they will apply throughout life. Properly organized education and upbringing contribute to the development of a positive worldview, strong moral values, and well-rounded personalities in students.
