Abstract

This article explores the integration of digital technologies into primary education to enhance students' understanding of historical concepts through the study of artistic works, particularly Uzbek folklore and fairy tales. Folklore serves as a valuable resource for teaching cultural heritage and historical awareness, while digital tools such as interactive e-books, animations, and virtual reality provide innovative ways to engage young learners. By combining traditional storytelling with modern technology, educators can create an immersive learning environment that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and empathy. The article highlights the benefits of this approach, addresses potential challenges, and emphasizes the importance of preserving cultural heritage in the digital age. Practical strategies for implementing these methods in the classroom are also discussed, along with recommendations for future research.
