As the President has emphasized, 'Building a New Uzbekistan begins with raising a new generation that is knowledgeable, well-mannered, patriotic, and harmonious.' This truth lies at the core of national statehood and building a strong society. Today, one of the most pressing tasks for every educator and parent is the upbringing of a harmonious personality. National values, traditions, and oral folkloreform the foundation ofthis process. A harmonious personality is someone who is physically, morally, ethically, intellectually, and aesthetically developed; thinks independently; knows the history and culture of their nation; and possesses a strong sense of national pride and patriotism. Key criteria include strong worldview, ethical conduct, thirst for knowledge, loyalty to national identity and values, physical and spiritual health. Additionally, social interaction, civic activity, leadership, anddigital literacy are essential features that develop through broad-based education. National upbringing is a system of values, traditions, customs, folk wisdom, and religious beliefs passed from generation to generation. It encompasses a nation’s way of life, cultural norms, and moral standards. The main directions of national upbringing include moral andethical education, aesthetic development, labordiscipline, patriotism,and family ethics. The family is the first and most important stage of national upbringing. A child first encounters national values, respect, honor, and dignity within the family. The personal example of parents, their adherence to traditions, and daily practices like reading, shared activities, and cultural celebrations such as Navruz and Eid play a critical role in the child’s development. Schools and educational institutions are essential for formalizing and reinforcing national values. National upbringing is integrated into subjects like literature, history, music, and ethics. Methods include using folklore, stories of historical figures, role-playing, and religious-moral discussions. Teachers must attend seminars and training sessions to enhance their skills in delivering culturally rich education both in and out ofthe classroom. page29 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue07,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai In the era of information technology and cultural influx, preserving national identity is more important than ever. Young people are exposed to foreign influences, sometimes adopting undesirable behaviors.

Educational apps, animations, social media channels, and multimedia lessons about folklore, idioms, and traditions can effectively transmit knowledge and cultural values. These tools not only educate but also attract the attentionof youth. The effectiveness of national upbringing largely depends on the teacher’s example. A teacher's behavior, appearance, speech, and commitment to values influence students. Sharing personal life stories and genuine advice during lessons fosters trust.
