DISCIPLINE AS A SOCIAL EVENT AND PEDAGOGICAL PROCESS: THE STATUTE OF PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN UZBEKISTAN AND ITS ROLE IN CHILD UPBRINGING

Abstract

This thesis explores discipline in early childhood education as a key pedagogical process shaped by Uzbek cultural values like respect, responsibility, and cooperation. It highlights the influence of Uzbekistan’s preschool education statute in promoting positive, child-centered discipline while discouraging punitive methods. The study emphasizes collaboration between educators and families in applying consistent and developmentally appropriate approaches.
