IMPROVING TEACHING METHODS IN APPLIED ARTS BASED ON CREATIVE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF UZBEKISTAN'S APPLIED ARTS SCHOOLS

This study investigates the integration of creative educational technologies into applied arts education, with particular focus on Uzbekistan's traditional craft schools and institutions. The research employs a mixed-methods approach combining systematic literature review, secondary data analysis, and comparative assessment to examine the effectiveness of technology-enhanced teaching methodologies in preserving and advancing traditional artistic practices. Findings indicate that project-based learning approaches demonstrate significant improvements in student engagement and creative outcomes, with meta-analyses revealing effect sizes ranging from 0.52 to 0.68. The study finds that 63.8% of students engaged in arts education demonstrate higher academic performance than 43.7% of non-arts students. Furthermore, the integration of digital technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence has shown promising results in enhancing spatial understanding, fostering creative thinking, and bridging digital content with physical artistic traditions. The analysis reveals unique challenges and opportunities specific to Uzbekistan's applied arts education system, including preserving centuries-old master-apprentice traditions while integrating modern pedagogical approaches. Recommendations are provided for educational institutions, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to optimise teaching effectiveness in applied arts education while maintaining cultural authenticity.本研究探讨创意教育技术融入应用艺术教育的路径，重点聚焦乌兹别克斯坦传统手工艺院校与教育机构。本研究采用融合系统文献综述、二手数据分析与比较评估的混合研究方法，探究技术赋能教学法在保护与传承传统艺术实践中的有效性。研究结果显示，项目式学习教学法可显著提升学生参与度与创意产出，元分析结果表明其效应量区间为0.52至0.68。本研究发现，参与艺术教育的学生中，63.8%的学业表现优于非艺术专业学生中的43.7%。此外，虚拟现实（virtual reality）、增强现实（augmented reality）与人工智能（artificial intelligence）等数字技术的融合应用，在提升空间认知能力、培养创意思维以及衔接数字内容与实体艺术传统方面展现出良好效果。分析揭示了乌兹别克斯坦应用艺术教育体系特有的挑战与机遇，其中包括在融入现代教学法的同时，传承延续数百年的师徒制传统。本研究针对旨在优化应用艺术教育教学效能、同时保留文化本真性的教育机构、政策制定者与行业从业者提出了相关建议。
