THE SIGNIFICANCE OF USING LOCAL HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN HISTORY EDUCATION FOR FORMING HISTORICAL THINKING AND NATIONAL HISTORICAL MEMORY IN STUDENTS

This article analyzes the pedagogical mechanisms of utilizing local historical and local lore materials in the process of history education within the professional education system. On the example of the rich past, archaeological monuments, and national liberation movements of the Jizzakh region (specifically, the Jizzakh Uprising of 1916), the problems of forming historical thinking, analytical skills, and national historical memory among studying youth are examined. The authors substantiate the didactic potential of integrally linking nationwide historical events with regional chronology. Based on the analysis of works by leading domestic historians and methodologists, actionable methodological recommendations have been developed to enhance the effectiveness of history classes in technical schools.
