Introduction:
In modern education, ensuring the comprehensive development of the individual,
particularly the formation of social competencies, is among the top priorities. Social
competencies include skills such as communication, adaptability to cultural diversity, teamwork,
sense of responsibility, and problem-solving abilities.

In today’s world, characterized by intense global competition and cultural interconnection,
education must not only provide academic knowledge but also develop high-level social and
communicative skills. This necessitates the incorporation of new approaches into the
curriculum, particularly the integration of interactive methods and folk crafts representing
national values.
The principles promoted by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev — fostering creativity, initiative,
patriotism, and social engagement among youth — require practical implementation through
educational tools. Folk crafts serve as rich cultural and educational resources in this regard [1].
Interactive teaching methods stimulate student activity, foster a communicative and
collaborative environment, and encourage the practical application of knowledge. Their
integration with folk crafts significantly enhances the development of social competencies.
Literature Review: The development of social competencies is one of the most relevant areas in
modern pedagogy. In recent years, research in this field has intensified, particularly focusing on
the role of interactive methods in education. Numerous studies have substantiated their
effectiveness in shaping socially active, responsible learners.
Emphasizes the effectiveness of interactive methods in ensuring students’ active participation in
the development of social competencies. In particular, he highlights the usefulness of
techniques such as “problem-solving” and “role-play” for fostering collaboration, social
thinking, and a sense of responsibility [2].
In his work "Pedagogical Technologies", presents a systematic analysis of how interactive
approaches can be employed to foster social competencies. He introduces methods such as
“idea exchange,” “observational dialogue,” and “interactive games” as tools that support youth
socialization [3].
The author explores the practical role of folk crafts in developing social competencies such as
respect for labor, teamwork, and vocational motivation among students [4].
Views folk crafts not only as creative but also as educational tools that help develop
interpersonal communication and team-building skills [5].
In her research, focuses on the psychological foundations of using interactive methods to
develop social competencies such as tolerance, empathy, and social culture. She also
emphasizes the role of folk crafts in intercultural communication [6].

interactive methods in developing social competencies among students of the Primary
Education program.
Research objectives:
To analyze the essence of social competencies;
To identify the opportunities of folk crafts in forming social competencies;

Experimental work:
The experiment was conducted with 2 and-year students of the Primary Education Department
at Denov Institute of Entrepreneurship and Pedagogy.
Two groups were selected:
GroupNumber of studentsTeaching method
Control group (CG) 30 Traditional lessons
Experimental group (EG) 30 Interactive methods + folk crafts
Assessment criteria:
Social competencies were evaluated based on the following indicators:
Cooperation ability
Communication culture
Respect for national values
Aesthetic taste and initiative
Pre-experiment results (diagnostic stage):
Indicators CG (%) EG (%)
High level 23 27
Medium level 57 53
Low level 20 20
Post-experiment results (final stage):
Indicators CG (%) EG (%)
High level 30 67
Medium level 50 27
Low level 20 6
Social competencies among students in the experimental group increased to 67%, which shows
twice the effectiveness compared to traditional teaching. In particular, the integration of gold-
thread embroidery and the cluster method showed high results.
Analysis and results:
The analysis of the experimental work revealed that students taught
using interactive methods enriched with folk craft elements (cluster, brainstorming, debate,
fishbone, role play) achieved significantly better results in developing social competencies
compared to those taught traditionally.
Key analytical aspects:
Cooperation skills: Students in the experimental group actively collaborated during group work
and joint craft projects, increasing their sense of collective responsibility.
Communication culture: Through interactive activities, students learned to express themselves
clearly, listen attentively, and respect others’ opinions.
Respect for national values: Sessions based on embroidery, gold-thread work, and pottery
fostered cultural awareness and appreciation of historical heritage.
Aesthetic taste and initiative: In craft-based learning, students showed creativity in designing,
presenting, and taking initiative—enhancing their aesthetic sense.
Percentage-based analysis:
IndicatorsControl Group (%) Experimental Group (%)
High level 30 67
Medium level 50 27
Low level 20 6
The integration of interactive methods and folk crafts in education has proven to be twice as
effective in developing students' social competencies.

Conclusion :
The results of this research demonstrate that the integration of elements of
traditional folk crafts with interactive teaching methods is an effective approach to developing
students' social competencies. The experimental studies conducted with 2nd-year students of
the Primary Education Department at the Denov Institute of Entrepreneurship and Pedagogy
revealed that the use of interactive methods — such as cluster, brainstorming, fishbone analysis,
role-playing, and debates — when combined with national crafts like embroidery, gold
embroidery, and pottery, significantly improved students’ abilities in communication,
cooperation, aesthetic perception, initiative, and respect for national values.
The experimental results confirmed this: the number of students in the experimental group who
achieved a high level of social competence reached 67%, which is twice as high as in the
control group.
Of particular note was the effective combination of the gold embroidery craft and the cluster
method, which yielded the most positive results. This proves that incorporating national values
into active teaching methods within technology education is a crucial factor in the formation of
students’ social competencies.
