EFFECTIVENESS OF THE APPLICATION OF INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

This article provides a broad and in-depth scientific analysis of the effectiveness of innovative pedagogical technologies in preschool education. Based on Uzbekistan’s "Ilk Qadam" (First Step) state curriculum, education policy documents, local empirical research, international meta-analyses, and longitudinal observations, the article details the impact of innovative technologies on children's cognitive, intellectual, emotional, social, and creative development. The results indicate that interactive methods, project-based learning, the STEAM approach, gamification, digital tools, sensory integration, and individually tailored technologies increase children's interest, develop linguistic and mathematical skills, ensure emotional stability, and significantly improve the overall effectiveness of the educational process. However, this effectiveness depends on the qualifications of educators, resource availability, and the proper pedagogical application of technologies. The article provides evidence-based recommendations for preschool practitioners, administrators, and policymakers.
