Abstract: The role of historical knowledge in the development of Uzbek tourism, as well as the growth of historical and

cultural tourism in Uzbekistan, as well as how historical conceptions and imagination are formed in history

classes. Uzbekistan has a lengthy and distinctively rich history among all the nations in the globe. Many

historical written and archaeological sources state that our Motherland, which has been acknowledged as the

Turanian land since antiquity, has earned a rightful place among the great and ancient nations of Egypt, Rome,

China, India, and Iran.

1 INTRODUCTION

It goes without saying that the history, which is full

with prehistoric architectural and artistic arts as well

as cultural and spiritual landmarks, has drawn

travelers from all over the world. Tashkent,

Samarkand, Bukhara, Shahrisabz, Khiva and

Urgench, as well as historical monuments and old

monuments located in different places of the republic,

serve as the main foundation of the tourism of our

country.

Beruni, Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari, Abu Isa

al-Tirmizi, Bahauddin Naqshband, Ahmed Yassavi,

Amir Temur, Mirza Ulugbek, Alisher Navoi, Babur,

and hundreds of other grandfathers are worthy of

pride. Their contributions to the history and culture of

the Uzbek people have been enormous.

I. Karimov, our nation's president: "Uzbekistan

has tremendous potential for the growth of tourism.

World-famous Uzbek cities include Samarkand,

Bukhara, and Khiva. Over 4,000 architectural

landmarks may be found inside the republic's borders.

Nature’s climatic conditions make it possible to

receive travellers in winter and summer. It follows

that Uzbekistan is one of the countries with the

potential to develop international tourism and relative

advantages in ensuring high competitiveness.

The growth of tourism in Uzbekistan is

significantly influenced by the country's history and

culture. Because the history of Uzbekistan illuminates

the process of our ancestors’ struggle for survival,

continuous work, and the process of rising to the level

of today's high people, religion, writing, science,

tradition, literature and art. The history of our country

teaches the process of formation of Uzbeks as a

people and a nation, the rich spiritual heritage left by

our ancestors, the formation of states and their

internal and foreign policy. The history of our country

teaches that our people became dependent on other

countries in certain periods, the struggle of our

ancestors for independence and freedom against

foreign invaders, and the activities of national heroes

and statesmen who showed bravery and courage in

this.

2 THE MAIN FINDINGS AND

RESULTS

One of the most pressing issues, according to our

nation's first president, I. Karimov, is the growth of

the tourist industry and the efficient exploitation of its

opportunities: “Tourism, in simple terms, means

understanding the world, understanding the world,

and at the same time going to the world stage...

Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Our cities like

Margilon, Shahrisabz and Khiva have a history of

2500-3000 years. This is a great spiritual wealth,

which can be turned into material wealth by

developing tourism.”

Travelers who are interested in the history,

culture, folklore, ethnography, archaeology, and

lifestyle of other people engage in cultural tourism. In

order to introduce tourists to the cultures of different

countries, local theatres and locations that showcase

folk and national art are given additional emphasis

during cultural tourism. Given that it's the greatest

opportunity to learn about the local way of life, some

visitors even go so far as to stay as guests in the homes

of locals.

Travelers that are interested in artifacts that have

been passed down to us from ancient people, such as

tombs, paintings, madrasas, mosques, working

equipment, dishes, coins, military weaponry,

buildings, castles, towns, and burials, engage in

historical tourism.

In Uzbekistan, there are plenty of chances for the

growth of historical and cultural tourism, and this

tourism's development advances Uzbekistan's foreign

policy. Our people's ties to other countries are

strengthened by the advancement of international

relations, which also provides a solid foundation for

the expansion of bilateral cooperation and the rise of

tourism in our country.

History teaching begins with the creation of

accurate images and representations of historical

facts.

Historical imagination and concepts are

inextricably linked with each other, concepts are

formed only when students have a sufficiently

complete and accurate idea of historical processes. As

a result of deepening students' imaginations in the

process of teaching history, the ground is created for

the formation of concepts. Concepts, in turn, help

enrich imaginations with content. Methodical

methods of generating imagination and concepts are

similar to each other in most cases.

In history teaching, the use of vivid and vivid

images is of great importance in forming a good

picture of social life in the past. It is necessary to

achieve this, that every historical fact, geographical

name and activity of the person described should be

figurative. Imagery is one of the necessary conditions

for the scientific thoroughness of students' knowledge

of history, prevention of modernization of historical

events, and an important means of creating the

necessary conditions for arousing interest in history

and analysing and summarizing historical facts. Here

is an example of analysing historical facts:

In history courses in schools, students are

consistently exposed to the development of society

from the earliest times to the present day.

Students will be armed with a scientific

understanding of development decisions based on the

examination and generalization of specific historical

facts and events.

In the process of teaching the subjects “History of

the Ancient World” and “History of Uzbekistan”, the

improvement of the mekhna of primitive people is

instilled into the minds of the students, how the

mekhna brought about changes in their lives.

As the historical process of development is

explained, they cannot imagine the life of primitive

people without a tool to show them. It is important to

explain the primitive period of human development

only by showing the monuments of this period or

using colour pictures.

In this regard, organizing an excursion to the

Museum of the History of Uzbekistan or other city

and district museums of geography will ensure

accurate and thorough thinking of the truth. The tour

guide introduces the stone tools of the Old Stone Age

found in Teshiktash cave, Oktash, Khujakent, Kui

Buzsuv settlements. He shows pictures of “hunting”

and “blacksmithing” where the people who lived at

this time spent their lives hunting, gathering fruits,

and finding roots. After that, the attention of the

visitors is drawn to the cut-out pictures of Teshiktash

and Oktash caves, as well as to the materials of the

12th-7th millennium BC. Attention is drawn to the

fact that at this time, a person knows how to make a

bow and arrow, and the first domestic animal, dogs,

hits him.

In conclusion, it should be said that visitors will

remember the life of ancient people and their working

tools in the museum of history for a lifetime. The

teacher gives the students abstract writing

assignments after they get back from the museum.

Some of the topics they are asked to write about are

"Changes in human life due to the improvement of

cocktail weapons" or "Cocktails create a person,"

"How did inequality among people arise?" and "The

role of nature in the improvement of people's life."

In the formation of historical imaginations, methods

aimed at active perception of images of historical

events are used. The content of the story of the reader

is demonstrative and figurative, the events and

pictures in the historical documents of the textbook,

works of fiction serve as the main source of the

formation of historical imagination in the readers.

When describing the material, the narrator relies on

historical documents, popular scientific and fiction

literature, and based on the existing imaginations of

listeners. Increasing students’ interest in history helps

them to extract and remember important details.

However, in order to create a clear and detailed image

in the listeners, it is not enough that the listener’s

narrative is lively and emotional. The listener must

organize and guide the active thinking of the listeners.

By showing the demonstrative weapon in this

way, the narrator can’t read the documents and

explain its content, but he can highlight the most

important parts of the story in a separate tone should

wear.

At the end of each class program in history, the

content of the main concepts is determined. These

concepts will help to determine the scientific content

of the course, theoretical-theoretical foundations, and

to determine the working methods for analysing and

summarizing historical materials. The acquisition of

historical concepts means that students can

distinguish the most important signs of historical facts

from secondary signs, divide them into groups, and

understand the connections and relationships between

historical events and phenomena. The perfect

historical concepts formed in this context serve as an

indispensable chain in the creation of the system of

scientific knowledge.

In order for students to effectively manage the

development of their historical concepts, it is

necessary to know how to classify concepts.

Depending on the content of the material emphasized

in the lesson, the concepts differ from each other and

are divided into the following types:

Economic concepts: Cocktail weapons and

economic life of different periods, economic

processes. Socio-political concepts: social relations

and political system between states (empire, republic,

bourgeois state and its class character, bourgeois

democracy and others)

Any event that is happening in the present time

cannot leave the students of the school history room:

a conference of historians, meetings of major

statesmen, new archaeological excavations and so on.

In this way, the sleepers are not left out of the

problem, such a historical and life communication

creates a desire in children to learn about all the news

in the world.

Modern life raises many complex questions for

adults and children. Usually, the listener knows

everything. And the sleeper is considered a burden.

This is not true after all. If the child does not become

a friend of the listener, all the efforts of education will

be in vain. That is why it is good to start education by

teaching students to ask questions.

3 CONCLUSION

The questions may be more complicated than the

truth, but at the heart of them lies the knowledge of

the truth. This cannot be achieved without debate and

discussion. A mind without discussion is a motionless

body. The best measure of the educational process is

genuine conversation, but having the ability to

discuss is a prerequisite. The times need that one

learns the culture of Bakhsh, therefore doing so is

essential. Of course, we must provide the listeners

some advice in order to clarify this. Here are a few of

them:

Be prepared that your opinion will not be met with

applause, but with opposing opinions. Do not

interpret this attitude as stupidity, hostility towards

you - a mood. Prepare evidence to prove your point.

Thus, the study of the laws of social development is a

long-term process, and it is an important component

of forming general and necessary knowledge and

scientific worldview in students.
