Abstract:
As we know, education is the most emphasized field in global development. In Uzbekistan, the education
system stands out from those of other countries by not only focusing on academic learning but also placing strong
emphasis on upbringing. Education is th
e key to solving many of society’s problems. Therefore, numerous efforts
are being made in Uzbekistan to improve the quality of knowledge and enhance the thinking abilities of young
people.
In particular, based on a presidential decree in 2021, a new subject called "Natural Sciences" (Science) was
introduced on a trial basis for grades 1 through 6 in general secondary schools. This innovation had a notably
positive impact on students' awareness. It not only contributed to students' acquisition of knowledge, but also
helped them better understand the world and the phenomena occurring within it. Moreover, it significantly
supported the development of their scientific worldview and critical thinking skills.
It is no coincidence that modern natural science occupies a leading position in human life. Through the study of
modern natural sciences, we gain insights into the new dimensions of the world and the scientific foundations of
existence. Therefore, it is fair to say that natural science today is being taught as one of the core subjects in
schools.

Introduction:
Worldview is the set of philosophical,
cultural, and scientific perspectives that an individual
develops toward the world, society, nature
—
in short,
toward existence as a whole.
Based on its content, worldview can be categorized
into mythological worldview, philosophical worldview,
religious worldview, and scientific worldview.
It is well known that the scientific worldview
incorporates elements of the other types while relying
primarily on empirically verified knowledge. The
mythological worldview is based on legends and myths;
the religious worldview is grounded in religion and
sacred texts, and shaped by belief in their authority. In
contrast, the scientific worldview examines these
beliefs critically, distinguishing between unproven
ideas and those supported by empirical evidence.
In the education of the younger generation, it is
essential to emphasize the development of a scientific
worldview. Such a worldview protects individuals from
falling into morally hollow or extremist ideologies and
helps form a rational, evidence-based outlook.
Throughout history, the advancement of science has
always influenced human worldview. In the 21st
century, the rapid development of natural sciences
—
including genetics, quantum physics, artificial
intelligence, and astrophysics
—
is fundamentally
transforming human thought.
This article analyzes the influence of modern natural
sciences on human consciousness and worldview,
based on empirical research.
METHODS
The research was conducted with the participation of
primary school students from schools in the Fergana,
Andijan, and Namangan regions. Pupils aged 7 to 8 took
part in the survey. The study analyzed students’
knowledge related to natural sciences, encompassing

subjects such as astronomy, biology, botany, physics,
and chemistry.
Through the survey, students were asked questions
aimed at exploring their perspectives on their place in
the universe, the origin of life, their sense of
responsibility toward nature, and the relationship
between science and religion. In the data analysis
process, analytical and comparative methods were
employed to interpret the results.
RESULTS
The analysis revealed that students with scientific
knowledge demonstrated greater engagement in
explaining the natural foundations of life and nature.
A
sense
of
personal
responsibility
toward
environmental issues and climate change was
significantly higher among students with a solid
understanding of scientific concepts.
They showed an analytical understanding of the causes
and consequences of global changes and rapid climate
shifts.
Moreover, they exhibited the ability to apply critical
thinking to various situations and demonstrated skills
in scientifically interpreting ongoing processes.
DISCUSSION
Results indicate that modern natural sciences have a
significant impact not only on individuals of a mature
age but also on young children. The advancement of
science and technology plays a crucial role in
discovering the mysteries of the universe and the
human place within it, in finding answers to questions
about nature, clarifying abstract concepts, identifying
new species of animals and plants, and increasingly
shifting the focus in society from the human factor to
artificial intelligence.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that these
developments come with both positive and challenging
aspects. On the positive side, such scientific progress
contributes
to
the
development
of
human
consciousness, the enhancement of thinking, and the
expansion of intellectual horizons.
Students who receive education through a modern
science-based approach have demonstrated higher
levels of knowledge and thinking skills compared to
those taught with traditional methods. This clearly
shows the importance of incorporating natural sciences
in a practical and engaging manner to foster critical and
analytical thinking in the education system.
Considering the intrinsic link between philosophy and
natural sciences, expanding the space for open
dialogue and interdisciplinary learning contributes to
the formation of a harmonious worldview, one that
balances both scientific understanding and moral
development in the modern individual.
CONCLUSION
Modern natural sciences
–
such as astronomy, physics,
chemistry, biology, and ecology
–
are not only sources
of scientific knowledge but also serve as one of the
primary factors in shaping human worldview. Through
these
disciplines,
individuals gain
a
deeper
understanding of the environment, living and non-
living natural phenomena, the universe, and the human
div. This broadens their cognitive scope, aids in
understanding cause-and-effect relationships, and
creates a foundation for making conscious, evidence-
based decisions.
Modern natural sciences are based on experimentation
and observation, which help develop students’ critical
thinking, analytical skills, and problem-solving
mindsets. In addition, they foster an informed
approach to various societal challenges, including
technological advancement, environmental issues, and
the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.
Thus, the effective integration of modern natural
sciences into the educational process plays a crucial
role in shaping a scientifically grounded and realistic
worldview among the younger generation.
