Today, the issue of preparing young people to be socially active and
ready for various interactions from legal and moral standpoints is of great
relevance.
Its significance lies in ensuring the legal literacy and moral maturity of
youth. A legally literate individual can apply essential knowledge in practice to
establish a firm life position. As a result, they can successfully carry out actions
necessary to meet their personal needs, thereby avoiding potential social
obstacles. Such individuals are able to recognize their place in the life of the state
and society. They perceive themselves as members of the community, and their
sense of involvement positively influences those around them. Consequently, a
positive social impulse emerges among people, which is further spread by
individuals who possess active civic competencies. This naturally fosters unity
and compassion within society.
Therefore, citizen participation is becoming an unprecedentedly positive
contributor to state development. Citizens engaged in various social movements
and initiatives unite to discuss existing and emerging societal issues and work
collaboratively to find rational and effective solutions.
Today’s youth approach the reforms being implemented in various
spheres of society not with indifference, but with an active civic stance.
No activity in the country today can be carried out in isolation from
globalization. Amidst the collision of information and the intersection of
interests, the meaningful involvement of every member of society is essential. In
building civil society, the opinion and participation of every individual matter. In
Uzbekistan, in order to develop civil society and counteract the negative

phenomena associated with globalization and the risks posed by foreign
ideologies, it is necessary to foster spiritual maturity among youth and cultivate
their active civic competence.
Only those young people who possess a civic position and demonstrate
concern rather than indifference to negative developments can contribute to
realizing the fundamental goals of society. This is because such youth
understand the essence and content of those goals and grasp their responsibility
to the people and society—thus gaining a respected social status within the
community.
Among the youth, there are children with hearing impairments, and
teaching them to be active participants in various social interactions
presents a particularly complex and pressing challenge.
Due to their unique pedagogical and psychological characteristics, children
with hearing impairments require a targeted and specialized approach to
learning their native language. Likewise, fostering their civic identity based on
language, speech, and psychological development demands a multifaceted
strategy.
In line with the broader socio-political task of fostering active civic
competence in children with hearing impairments—just as with typically
developing children—the following measures are undertaken:
Cultivating in each child a sense of national pride and awareness of their
country's history, spiritual values, capabilities, and prospects, as well as a sense
of responsibility for peace, national development, and public welfare;
Encouraging children to understand not only their rights but also their
duties and responsibilities;
Teaching children with disabilities to be capable of defending national
interests in any situation.
Systematic and goal-oriented efforts to instill responsibility to the
state and society, as well as respect for the law, in children with
disabilities, lead to the formation of a set of legal and civic behaviors.
In achieving the development of active civic competence among deaf and
hard-of-hearing children, collaboration between educational institutions and
families plays a crucial role. High levels of legal consciousness, deep
understanding of public and state interests, and a strong sense of social duty and
responsibility must be cultivated in these children. Achieving this depends on
several key principles and factors:

From early childhood, children should be taught to obey legal norms
not out of fear of punishment, but out of voluntary commitment.
This process begins when deaf and hard-of-hearing primary school
students fully understand and follow the school’s internal rules and regulations.
In turn, this not only helps regulate their behavior within educational
institutions but also in public settings.
Adherence to small rules and legal procedures should become part of
students’ internal beliefs.
In other words, when respect for the law becomes habitual, it manifests the
basic qualities of active civic competence.
Active civic competence is developed in harmony with legal culture.
Therefore, when planning pedagogical and methodological activities aimed at
fostering a sense of culture, it is advisable to include approaches and practices
designed to develop active civic competence.
In order to build a strong civil society, citizens—including deaf and hard-of-
hearing children—must have a thorough understanding not only of their rights
and freedoms, but also of their duties and responsibilities. To achieve this, the
system and forms of legal education in specialized educational institutions
should be based on a comprehensive approach to students' legal upbringing,
incorporating pedagogical, psychological, methodological, and organizational
dimensions.
Thus, the issue of developing active civic competence among deaf and hard-
of-hearing students is currently being regarded as a critical and timely concern.
