ABDULLA AVLONI’S SOCIO-PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITY

Abstract

This article provides a scholarly analysis of the socio-pedagogical 
activity of Abdulla Avloni, one of the leading representatives of the Uzbek enlightenment 
movement in the early twentieth century. The study examines Avloni’s role in establishing 
Jadid-method schools, modernizing the content of education and moral upbringing, and 
producing textbooks and methodological materials that contributed to the development of 
national pedagogical thought. Particular attention is given to his cultural and educational 
initiatives, including theatrical activities, through which he promoted patriotism, moral 
maturity, and modern knowledge among the younger generation. Based on Avloni’s work 
Turkiy Guliston Yohud Akhlok, the article analyzes his views on the unity of education 
and upbringing, the cultivation of critical thinking, the significance of knowledge and 
enlightenment in social progress, and the formation of national consciousness. The 
findings demonstrate that Avloni’s pedagogical legacy remains relevant for contemporary 
educational practice and theoretical discourse.
