This thesis explores the theoretical and methodological potential of using Abdulla Avloniy’s pedagogical legacy to develop independent and critical thinking skills among university students. Drawing on the ideas of “Fikr Tarbiyasi” (Cultivation of Thought) presented in the Jadid educator’s work Turkiy Guliston yoxud Axloq (Turkish Rose Garden or Morality), the study examines mechanisms for organizing a contemporary learning session entitled “Tafakkur Tarbiyasi” (Cultivation of Thinking). The research employs historical-pedagogical analysis, comparison, generalization, and didactic modeling. A methodological approach is proposed to develop students’ ability to think independently, evaluate evidence, respond to problem-based situations, and draw well-reasoned conclusions. The findings substantiate the pedagogical potential of integrating Avloniy’s ideas with problem-based learning, dialogic communication, and reflective activities.
