THE USE OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES BY EDUCATORS IN THE TEACHING PROCESS

Abstract:
This article discusses the concept of innovative technologies, the use of novel educational tools by preschool educators, and the importance of employing ICT to improve the quality of education.

Keywords: education, innovation, technology, innovative approach, ICT, interactive method, play, didactic material

Today, we must remember that the profound transformations taking place in our society’s economic, social, political, and cultural spheres are closely connected with the education system—recognised as the main driver of intellectual development for our country’s future. As in other spheres, new methods, approaches, and technologies are being developed and implemented in education. One of the most effective tools in today’s educational system is innovative technologies. These tools enhance clarity, engagement, and retention of information for learners, leading to multiple positive outcomes. First, let us clarify: what do we mean by “innovation” and “innovative technologies”?

Innovation, as defined in the Uzbek National Encyclopedia, refers to:

1. Investment in resources to enable replacement of technological generations.
2. Scientific, technical, managerial, or organizational innovations based on advanced achievements and practices, applied across various fields.¹

According to V. A. Slastenin, innovation is a goal-oriented process aimed at creating, disseminating, and applying new methods that satisfy social needs and stimulate aspirations.²

Innovative technology combines “innovation”—meaning new ideas—and “technology”—derived from Greek roots “techne” (art, skill) and “logos” (science). It implies a new perspective on educational forms, methods, and approaches. In pedagogy, innovative technologies introduce novelty and transformation into teaching and educational activities.

When using innovative technologies, educators should possess:

• Knowledge and skills in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies);
• Awareness of new pedagogical technologies from global practices;
• Competence in applying interactive methods and engaging didactic games;
• Deep understanding of advanced pedagogical techniques;
• Ability to translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills;
• Capacity to use the internet effectively (where available);
• Ability to integrate active play in sessions;
• Commitment to lifelong professional development and staying updated with innovations.

An educator implementing innovative technologies may use tools like computers, projectors, electronic boards, and similar digital resources. The broader their use of such technologies, the richer and more diverse the content they can deliver. Educators can even design new technologies tailored to their subjects—innovation is not static but evolves through creativity and adaptation.

The primary aim of using these technologies is to foster shared engagement between the teacher and students, increase children’s motivation and interest, cultivate eagerness for learning, and develop practical skills for real-world application.

To achieve this, educators must be able to choose and integrate subject-appropriate ICT and didactic materials. Even compelling content can become uninteresting or ineffective if paired with inappropriate technology or delivery methods. The educator’s ability to wisely select interactive methods and communication tools plays a key role in effectiveness. Aligning teaching sequences with students’ needs, interests, and learning levels is essential for productive sessions. The more effectively the educator uses ICT, the higher the resulting impact.

Based on the above, we arrive at the following conclusions:

1. Innovative technologies serve as educational tools that elevate teaching effectiveness, enhance methodological practice, and engage learners in the educational journey.
2. The extent to which educators can deploy these technologies depends on their pedagogical proficiency and professional knowledge. Today’s educators must stay informed about updates and know how to use modern ICT tools to organize effective teaching processes.

Dad, I miss you so much…

I was a baby, I was still a cave,

I didn’t know you were gone.

I used to wonder why you left

But I couldn’t find the answer.

Your sweet words, “Daughter,”

Still ring in my ears.

It’s a pity you’re not with me anymore,

The moments I spent with you are in my heart.

The memories I remember,

Sometimes my heart feels bad.

It passed like a sweet dream, it went away,

You will always live in my heart.

Globalization and the Lost Identity of a Generation

“Modern wars will no longer be fought with weapons, but with ideas. The goal will be to distort the thinking of our youth.”
— Islam Karimov, First President of Uzbekistan

We live in an era where information travels across continents in seconds, where a cultural shift in one part of the world can influence the mindset of a young person thousands of kilometers away. This is the power—and the peril—of globalization. And in the heart of Central Asia, in countries like Uzbekistan, it’s not just progress that is arriving at our doorsteps, but also a silent crisis: the cultural and spiritual erosion of our youth.

The 21st century is marked by technological triumphs. Our lives have become more connected, more informed, and more digitized. Yet in this wave of innovation, young people in developing and post-Soviet countries find themselves torn between tradition and trend. They are learning, evolving, and adopting—but at what cost?

When Progress Threatens Identity

There is nothing inherently wrong with globalization. In fact, it offers invaluable opportunities for learning, innovation, and cross-cultural exchange. But each nation carries with it a unique soul—embedded in its history, traditions, and moral values. For Uzbekistan, this identity is rooted in the legacy of thinkers like Alisher Navoi, Ibn Sina, Al-Khwarizmi, and Al-Biruni—giants whose wisdom once shaped the course of human knowledge.

Yet today, many of our youth struggle to name these intellectual forefathers. Instead, they idolize imported pop culture, replicate global social media trends, and embrace superficial modernity that often contradicts local values. From imitating art forms born in foreign contexts to defacing historic buildings with graffiti in the name of “expression,” we are witnessing a cultural drift that can no longer be ignored.

This is not an argument against modernization or art. It is a call for balance. A plea for young people to know where they come from before deciding where they are going.

The Cultural Cost of Belonging Everywhere—and Nowhere

In an attempt to belong to a global narrative, many young people are losing touch with their own. Cultural pride is not nationalism; it is self-respect. And preserving heritage does not mean rejecting the world—it means entering it with dignity.

The future of our youth must not come at the cost of forgetting the past. The ancient cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva are not just tourist destinations; they are breathing textbooks of our ancestors’ contributions to science, literature, and philosophy. When these landmarks are defaced, when traditions are mocked, it is not just stone that is broken—but memory, identity, and self-worth.

Moving Forward with Roots Intact

Technology is here to stay. Globalization will continue. The question is: Can we raise a generation that embraces the modern world without abandoning its own? Can we empower young people to be both connected to the globe and grounded in their culture?

We must. Because only when young people know who they are, will they know how to lead.

Code Magic

Life on the screen, not on paper,

Paint the hidden meaning in each bar.

Programmer-Dream Builder man,

It will be built by order with future codes.

Light flashes inside the outputs,

In mistakes, patience turns into a chariot.

A few words-if, another, for and time,

A whole file hidden in simple lines.

The screen also lights up at night,

A wonderful plan that fills the heart.

Dreams with adjacent numbers,

Future holes with a mouse click.

Programming-fan-she is a creative singer,

The power of the soul grows through mistakes.

Everyone who writes the code-master of dreams,

Creator, builder, epic of the future

My country is in my heart…

When you die – my happiness is inevitable,
Memories are bright inside – your history.
I sing in your arms, my words are triumphant,
Say “oh” every time you take your medicine.

Your height is higher than I value,
The whole world is one world.
Be a light, my country, with my body –
Let’s say saffron to the poor.

If you are told to die with longing –
He is the figure of Babur. – “dodi” in the language.
With the “pen” that conquered the world,
Your prayers will never fade away.

Take care of yourself, shield your freedom,
The beasts are the prey of my sword.
A clot of blood swirled around his chest.
Don’t let it go like that – the sasi of ghanim.

Put a word in the heart – pain from clutching,
Stay intoxicated with freedom.
– Until I stay in your arms forever…
– May I find luck in your arms…

A precious man

The nights and the days come and go without a smile

The days are so big without a smile

The nights are a waiting for a call or a message

It is so expensive this time away from your eyes.

You are my precious pearl..

A diamond hide in the mud..

Waiting the time to hug you and kiss you.

You are my treasure hidden from the sun

Waiting the day I meet you again..

Waiting your look..

Waiting your lips..

You are my precious pearl hidden in the oyster deep in the sea.

You are my precious man. 

….

You

My poem

You,

That the face I did not see for years

You

U are the most amazing being

But cannot touch

You,

The beauty is hiding in  small pieces in your body and mind

You,,

I can explain why

But i know my what

You

That one day u crossed my path

Forces of love or passion touched me

Without reason

I am looking the east

U are looking the west

Miracles happens every day

You

A passion I can live in a privately moment

Love I give

Love will never be understood

You…

In another space of galaxy

You

My ideal

My secret

Garden

You

The moments I never had

You

The distance between 2 countries

A bridge i will try to build to reach you

Good night poem

What a caterpillar maybe call the end

A butterfly call it the beginning of a beautiful journey…

The stars are so far but we can see the lights

And feel their heat

As i am thinking of you

Days and nights are together

No distance

Only sun

Only Moon

And for once they are together

In this beautiful sky

Thinking of you

The days

Think about you

My heart

My body

My soul

Wake up

And

Dance in a circle

Imagine u are here

Imagine u are close to me

Imagine our life starts

This is my wish

My prayer

As you are my hope

My inspiration

In those long years of loneliness…

Love poem

Your smile… 

I dream a future with you

I dream a blue sky

Sunset to a an island 

I dream a white house

And have a view to the sea 

I dream a future close to you.. 

And i get a bad dream

Sleeping alone

Feeling weak

But in my heart

i am not alone because i feel your heart beat

I feel your breath

My impression of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”

 “The Animal Farm” is a satirical work in the fable genre, published in 1945 by the famous English writer George Orwell. The work is about how the animals on the farm drive away their owners and establish an animal dictatorship. In this, Orwell skillfully revealed the evolution of revolutionary principles. The famous French revolutionary Danton’s phrase “The revolution devours its children like the god of Saturn” is also reflected in the work. Orwell completed this work from November 1943 to February 1944.

 After reading George Orwell’s “Cattle Farm,” you can witness how he masterfully satirizes and sarcastically reveals the thirst for power, complex relationships, and social life based on lies. It creates the impression that these things are characteristics not only of humans but also of animals. But this is a very subtle metaphor that the author used to convey the problem to readers as clearly as possible, showing societies aimed at suppressing freedom of thought and speech through force and ideological mankurtization under the guise of “goodwill.” In this novel, the foundations of society are directly reflected in the lives of animals living on the farm. The human characteristics of these animals clearly show who is actually hidden behind the heroes.

 The plot is very unusual, it is distinguished not only by the development of events in the main characters – the animals and the livestock yard, but also by the relevance of the problems of society reflected by the author. The novel is about the relationship between the weak and the strong, the foolish and the clever. In fact, this is an allegorical demonstration of the dictatorial regimes that the author saw throughout his life.

 The internal political confrontation between humans and animals ends with the formation of a new ideal society based on the principles of equality. In the animal world, stratification occurs gradually, but its beginning manifests itself in the initial movements of pigs. Napoleon’s rise to power occurs naturally (the inhabitants of the farm have grown accustomed to his leadership) and by force (supported by the Nine Terrible Dogs). The political slogans being proclaimed (“Four legs are good, two are bad!”) were lies and propaganda, which were weapons for strengthening Napoleon’s position. The seven articles written on the warehouse wall are constantly changing and being adapted for managers. Everything that happens on the farm is changed in the opposite direction. In the minds of animals, it awakens a feeling of gratitude for the clarity of the sky and the peaceful coexistence, even if they live hungry. The story ends with the establishment of friendly relations with people and the complete assimilation of pigs, who first begin to walk on their feet, and then wear human clothing.

 The artistic images of the main characters have their own historical or generalized prototypes. The working horse named Boxer refers to the working class who see the only way to improve their lives through daily work. The more difficult the situation on the farm, the harder the horse works. The boxer trusts his comrade Napoleon.

 Old Donkey Benjamin – often remains silent, but occasionally tries to open the animals’ eyes to the government’s actions. It is this hero who understands the essence of what is happening in “The Animal Farm”: “They have never lived better or worse than this – hunger, excessive work, and deceived hopes, therefore, this is the unchanging law of life.”

 Thus, the political elite of animals gradually becomes inseparable from the elite of humans. And here is a transparent reminder of what role an ordinary member of society plays in the system. The novel “Cattle Farm” remains relevant today.

 This satirical work depicts the path to the creation of a totalitarian state. The author shows that even with the most vivid and correct idea, you can create a cruel and terrible truth. A story about how society turns into a herd. This applies to each of us. Everything is described in such a simple language that everyone can see it clearly. But if someone doesn’t want to see what’s happening outside their comfortable place, they won’t see it. Gradually, as the story progresses, everyone becomes equal, but some become more equal than others. Equal to the rest…

 Through the joint efforts of the animals, the man was driven out of the farm, and they plowed the field together. Although everyone was considered equal, the pigs were clearly separated from the start, but the other animals were stupid and blind, and he followed their instructions, believing that everyone became equal. Soon the pigs became their masters. The rest of the animals lifted the pigs onto the throne with their own hands and whipped them. We all know that this work is actually not about animals, but about people, about a herd of people.
