Modern Pedagogical Approaches to Preparing University Students for Family Life in Uzbekistan and Foreign Countries

The ongoing reforms in the education system of Uzbekistan are increasing the need to prepare young people for independent life, particularly for conscious and responsible participation in family relationships. This article comprehensively examines modern pedagogical approaches to preparing university students for family life in Uzbekistan and in foreign countries such as Russia, Germany, the USA, Japan, China, Singapore, and South Korea. The study is based on national legal documents, international educational practices, and contemporary pedagogical theories. The findings indicate that while Uzbekistan has established a strong legal and institutional framework for family education, its practical implementation remains insufficiently developed. In contrast, foreign countries widely apply competency-based approaches, interactive methods, digital technologies, and interdisciplinary integration. Programs such as Family Life Education and Parenting Education have proven effective in developing communication skills, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, and responsible parenting among young people. The article also substantiates the necessity of integrating national values, particularly the mahalla institution, with international experience. In conclusion, the implementation of innovative pedagogical models contributes to improving the effectiveness of preparing students for family life and ensuring social stability.
