SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR USING THE IDEAS OF “QABUSNAMA” IN EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES OF GENERAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

This article examines the scientific and pedagogical foundations for using the ideas of Kaykovus’s Qabusnama in the educational processes of general secondary schools. The study interprets the work as a major source of Eastern didactic thought containing a coherent system of moral, intellectual, social, and labor-related guidance that can be adapted to contemporary school education. Particular attention is paid to the pedagogical potential of the text in developing students’ honesty, truthfulness, respect for parents and teachers, diligence, responsibility, communication culture, and commitment to knowledge. The article argues that Qabusnama should be regarded not only as a historical literary monument but also as a value-oriented educational resource with methodological significance for modern schooling. The analysis shows that the ideas expressed in the work may be integrated into classroom instruction, moral education activities, extracurricular programs, and career guidance practices. Special emphasis is placed on the relevance of the text for educational settings where the formation of students’ spiritual and moral qualities is considered inseparable from their intellectual and social development. The source material indicates that Qabusnama has long been used in pedagogical literature, upbringing manuals, and school-oriented educational interpretation, especially in relation to etiquette, respect, pursuit of knowledge, and moral behavior. The article concludes that the scientific and pedagogical foundations for applying the ideas of Qabusnama in general secondary education lie in its humanistic orientation, practical ethical guidance, compatibility with value-based education, and capacity to strengthen culturally rooted pedagogical content in the modern school environment.
