Abstract:
This article thoroughly explores the importance of text analysis in the process of artistic and aesthetic education of primary school students. Through the analysis of literary works, students develop a sense of beauty, the ability to evaluate characters, and improve their speech culture. The use of methods such as question-and-answer, discussion, and role reading helps enhance students’ creativity and imagination. 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

1. Developing correct, fluent, expressive, and conscious reading skills through the analysis of literary content.
2. Analyzing a work’s theme, idea, imagery, and stylistic devices plays an essential role in the student’s personal development.
3. 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.

of disappointment

fading sun

the star spangled

light ceases to

exist

get in line, do

your job

creativity withers

at the butt of a gun

but there’s always

one soul

one vagrant that

defies the odds

bound and determined

to crash the gates

raise a little hell

for good

what people tend

to forget

when you get to

the end of the rope

and hope has left

the building

living is no longer

an option

so it isn’t a matter

of dying for a cause

or dying trying to

break free

it is only a matter

that you do

a medical condition

an only fans model

messaged me yesterday

and asked why she gets

wet when she reads

my poetry

i laughed and was getting

ready to message her back

and tell her she might have

a medical condition

but then my ego came running

into the room and knocked me

out of the way and typed

because they are good

that fucker doesn’t know

how to play anything slow

but, i also know he

is mostly correct

now if she could only

send some pictures or

videos so my ego could

really enjoy his victory

of course, it’s

drowning in

my loneliness

wondering if

this lost soul

love always seems

to squeeze through

the cracks of life

it to

but there are only

a certain number

while giving death the finger

sunken eyes

cheating death

as best as you can

beauty queens never

age well these days

another shot of

something strong

fuck cancer

one last dance while

giving death the finger

let the mind wander

into a field of endless

possibilities

remember the jazz

clubs

long cigarettes

a flirty little skirt

and a bunch of

hungry animals

wanting a piece

wipe the tears

and think fondly

of what these kids

will never know

one last glance

the longest goodbye

i’ll make sure the

roses are always

Summer Jobs

While at Portland State College, I got summer jobs with the Oregon Highway Department as an engineer aide in 1964 and 1965.  I qualified by taking an exam that was made up of simple math problems.  I was a math major.  The jobs had nothing to do with math.

The first job was on the southern Oregon coast in Gold Beach.  This was mostly being a part of the survey team.  We aides would hold the transit while the department employee would check the location thereof.  The survey would take a circuit ending and beginning in the same place.  The calculations of the ends of the circuit were required to match for proof of accuracy.  They were checking for new highway routes.  The work continued in good and bad weather and we were required to clear a path with a tool called a brush hook – a long handle with a vicious blade at the end.  First rule – a transit was more valuable than we were.  

I lived in four different locations while in Gold Beach, one of which appeared to be condemned migrant labor housing.  My meals were simple fare where I stayed or a hamburger stand.  I mostly wore the same clothes, but did go to a laundromat a few times.  When the boss thought we had gotten too shaggy, we were sent for bad haircuts.

We three summer workers mostly hung out.  The locals were not particularly friendly with the  outsiders from more urban Oregon.  Gold Beach had maybe two thousand people.  No car, so I couldn’t do much outside of town.  The only significant breaks were from a visit with my then girlfriend, and my college roommate with a car who had a similar job a little to the north.

Most of my off the job time was wasted wandering around the small town or the surrounding woods.   The town wasn’t really a beach or tourist town.  A highlight of the summer was a stinky dead beached seal.

On the plus side, I spent so little money that the minimum wage we received ($1.61) left me with what was at the time plenty of cash for the next school year.  At that time multiple students in the Portland State neighborhood could rent a room together for around $100.

The next year I qualified to stay in the Portland area.  The job was to check the density of the new road bed before paving for Highway 26 which split into two two-lane roads, one going east, and one west through Sandy Oregon east of Portland.  I’d pick up a panel truck and pick a site to test.  The test was done two ways while I was there.  The old tedious way was to dig a hole in the road bed, weigh the contents in scales in the panel truck and then check the volume with an instrument which dropped a balloon into the hole.  As we know weight/volume =density.  I did that some of the time, but one time I had to go back to the shop because the balloon broke.  The other was much simpler to perform, but came with a serious downside.  The method used an atomic counter.  Just put the machine on the road bed.  This required that the user of the counter had to wear a film which would change if exposed to radiation.  The density checking with radiation led to jokes about certain body parts glowing, but there was no problem.

There was one memorable day.  Normally temperate Portland hit 107F, a record at the time.  Due to climate change, that record has been obliterated, but then it was incredibly hot.  I normally closed the panel truck to keep the wind from affecting the scales, but I tried it with the van open that day to keep from being knocked out by the heat.

Despite being happier in the Portland area with friends and family around, something much worse happened in the area than happened around Gold Beach.  We spent some time in a quarry that produced rock for the roadbed.  The rock crusher broke up big rocks into various sized stones which were separated by various filters.  A crane operator hit one of the high voltage lines powering the crushers and was electrocuted.

I’d stop at a Dairy Queen in those days that is still there today.  We frequently drive this route to get to my Boring cousin’s place.  He thinks that he lives in Sandy, but the post office says it is Boring.

During those days I masqueraded as a working man. I lived in the basement of a friend’s house and would drink a lot after work and sometimes urinated in an empty garage as I stumbled home.

As I left Portland State for graduate work at the University of Oregon, my neighborhood was being demolished for Portland State expansion, urban renewal, and I-405.  Summer jobs were behind me.

1. Flowers

Li Mengxi (11, Xiaohe Poetry Club)

For whom do flowers bloom?

By whom are they praised as “excellent”?

When flowers fall, who will pity them?

For whom do they strive all their lives?

2. Returning Home

Chen Yuyao (10, Xiaohe Poetry Club)

The city is filled with tall buildings;

The countryside has green mountains, clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers—

Such is the contrast.

Even if I can never step out of the mountains,

I am still willing.

3. Sweet Osmanthus

Liu Zihan (12, Xiaohe Poetry Club)

Huh? Can you smell it?

This lingering fragrance—

Whose is it?

Huh? What’s that?

Wow, it’s sweet osmanthus!

This rich, dense scent—

Fills every corner of our house.

I won’t allow it: no one should fail to smell the osmanthus yet.

Because the osmanthus wants everyone in the world

To catch its faint sweetness!

4. Loss

Meng Lianghua (11, Xiaohe Poetry Club)

My dad has uremia.

If one day he’s gone,

I’ll be so sad.

I’m scared of losing my friends and other family.

When I grow up, I want to be a soldier—

To guard my friends,

Guard my family,

Guard the country.

5. Ode to Beans

Zhang Yuxuan (11, Xiaohe Poetry Club)

Beans, beans, beans—

The little bean vines

Climb up the frame.

After autumn passes,

I’ll help Mom harvest mung beans.

6. Why It Has to Be Glutinous Rice Balls

Su Moyan (10, Gongyelu Primary School, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province)

If only you were the moon—

You could hang high in the sky.

Being a bird’s egg would be nice too,

Hatching into a bird that flies far away.

Even being a ping-pong ball works,

Bouncing and spinning happily.

Being a gem would be even better,

Worn on the king’s crown—

Who would dare to offend the king?

But you just have to be glutinous rice balls.

Sigh, I always want to gobble you up in one bite.

7. Socks

Li Qiaoyu (8, Gongyelu Primary School, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province)

Once I had lots of colorful socks—

With little tigers, little crocodiles, all kinds of designs…

But I often wore

A red one on the left foot and a green on the right,

Ne Zha on the left and Ao Bing on the right.

Later, Mom had to replace them

With a pile of identical white socks.

No matter how I mix them, I can pretend they’re a pair.

8. Little Bee Takes a Bath

Xue Ziyang (9, Guanzhuang Primary School, Jiashizhuang Town, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province)

The little bee takes a bath in the flower—

Tosses left, glances right.

What is it looking for?

Oh, it’s searching for nectar shampoo!

The greedy little bee,

After bathing,

Carries two buckets full of shampoo

And heads home.

9. The Wind That Loves Sleeping

Xue Jiayi (9, Guanzhuang Primary School, Jiashizhuang Town, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province)

The naughty wind

Loves sleeping.

When it sleeps,

It loves snoring.

One snore—

Brings a late spring cold.

10. A Rabbit’s Words

Xue Yaozong (9, Guanzhuang Primary School, Jiashizhuang Town, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province)

Don’t laugh at my short tail—

It’s actually my advantage.

You don’t know:

When enemies come,

It won’t happen that

My body gets into the hole,

But my tail is still stuck outside.

The Educational Significance of Uzbek Folk Tales

Annotation:

Uzbek folk oral literature, with its vast scope and ancient history, continues to inspire many researchers today. Among the genres of this creative tradition, the folk tale occupies a special place, reflecting the people’s historical experience, love for children, and worldview. Through tales, concepts such as good and evil, diligence and laziness, honesty and deceit are conveyed to children in an easy and comprehensible way. The main purpose is to enhance their educational and moral significance. This article analyzes the nature of Uzbek folk tales and their role in children’s upbringing and education.

Keywords: Uzbek folk tales, educational significance, moral value, characterization, spiritual upbringing, ethical values.

The Uzbek people have long been known for their love and care for children. Therefore, the genre of the fairy tale, which plays an important role in child upbringing, holds a significant place in Uzbek oral literature. Uzbek folk tales, with their rich culture and traditions, are not only entertaining stories but also an important source of education and moral development. Passed down from generation to generation, these tales teach children life lessons, moral values, and social culture. Thus, folk tales serve not only as entertainment but also as an essential educational and moral tool.

Folk tales reflect the culture, spiritual worldview, and traditions of the Uzbek people. Through them, children learn about their nation’s history, customs, and values, and grow up in that spirit. For example, in the tale Alpomish, the ideas of heroism, bravery, and patriotism are instilled in children, fostering national pride and a spirit of selflessness.

Tales not only broaden children’s imagination but also develop their creative thinking skills. Filled with fantastic events, interesting characters, and unique worlds, they help children generate new ideas and enhance their creativity. This plays an important role in nurturing imaginative and inventive individuals in the future.

In conclusion, Uzbek folk tales are not just entertaining stories for children but also an essential genre that plays a key role in their upbringing. They help children learn moral culture and traditions, develop imagination and creativity, and acquire social skills. Therefore, reading and learning from folk tales is of great importance for every child.
