ONE BIG PROBLEM IN MY EDUCATION – AND HOW TO FIX IT

Аннотация

This research aims to explore the problems which were held in educational places such as school, universities. Many students want to study in a modernized schools while they are living in a technologies developed world. I have learned about the foreign education system through my own experiences and I want to apply it in ours. Some of the problems in education are very relevant for students studying in Uzbekistan, in particular at Termez State University. One of the biggest problems is the lack of modern technologies and the insufficiently formed close, friendly relations between teachers and students. However, this issue is not merely institutional — it is also cultural and psychological, shaped by long-standing traditions and societal expectations. Keywords: Methods, teaching style, structure, new techniques, learning process, traditional methods, modern technologies, networking. Many students, including myself, often feel hesitant to express my thoughts freely in academic settings. This hesitation does not stem from a lack of knowledge or ability, but from a mindset deeply ingrained in us from early childhood. Uzbek people always try to control someone, they want to make everything perfectly but they don’t mostly start from themselves. If we want to change the society we should change ourselves firstly then others will be more easier. "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"1. In my culture, children are often taught to obey, remain silent, and not give question authority. Even lullabies and traditional parenting encourage conformity and quiet behavior. As a result, students grow up being cautious, passive, and afraid of expressing their opinions, especially in formal settings like universities, in front of public because of childhood trauma. Elder people are asking after we grow up why you are not giving your opinion, say something and that time it will be late for kid. "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."2 This mentality persists into higher education, where classroom environments often lack active dialogue. Many students refrain from asking questions during lectures, fearing they might be judged or misunderstood. Even at university I faced that many teachers say know your position, who are you, why you are texting to me after class, why you are speaking loud to me. Likewise, professors may not create a space that encourages interaction or discussion. “Teachers need not only content knowledge, but also pedagogical content knowledge to be effective.”3 Lessons are mostly lecture-based, and technology is rarely used to enhance engagement or creativity. “Despite high enrollment in schools, learning outcomes remain low in many countries.”4 As a 3rd year student university, I was fortunate to participate in international exchange programs. I studied for one semester in China twice, and once in Malaysia. 1 Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom, 1994 2 Albert Einstein, quoted in Education and the Significance of Life by Jiddu Krishnamurti, 1953. 3 Shulman, L.

These experiences broadened my perspective and gave me firsthand insight into how advanced and student-centered their educational systems are. "Education should not just teach us how to make a living, it should teach us how to live."5 Each day I send my free time to learn about new methods, asked from friends about their sytems. In both countries, education starts with meaningful activities from early childhood. In kindergartens, children engage in hands-on activities like cooking, building model structures, playing musical instruments, participating in sports, and practicing public speaking. These methods not only develop practical skills but also boost confidence and independent thinking from a young age. During school years, students take weekly tests in each subject. The student who scores the highest becomes the teacher’s assistant for that subject, which changes weekly. This encourages healthy competition and motivates students to study harder. In addition, parents are actively involved — they drop off and pick up their children daily and communicate directly with teachers to monitor academic progress and behavioral changes. My experience at a university in China further highlighted the benefits of a modern educational environment. Every classroom was equipped with electronic boards and projectors, and lessons regularly included PowerPoint slides and video materials. There was a strong emphasis on the relationship between students and professors — friendly, respectful, and collaborative. Most impressive was the use of a digital learning platform called UMU. It was central to cla
