ISSUES ON THE PEDAGOGICAL THOUGHT AND PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE OF EASTERN THINKERS

Abstract

The article deals with the issues based on the pedagogical thought and pedagogical practice of eastern thinkers in the example of Abu Rayhan Beruni's works. An analysis of Beruni's work shows that he did not leave himself the goal of transferring knowledge to individual students. He was convinced that the school is not the only source of knowledge and education of the younger generation.

The scientific school of Beruni had a great influence on the development of science and education in the medieval East. Scientists of subsequent generations studied and educated on the ideas of Beruni: Omar Khayyam, Nasir ad-Din at-Tusi, Ulugbek, al-Kashi, Mirim Chelebi and many others.

We have investigated and summarized only one of the aspects of the rich scientific heritage of the outstanding scientist. Abu Rayhan Beruni became world famous not only for his outstanding scientific achievements, but also for his ideas and beliefs that were advanced for that time. Many of them, including pedagogical ones, retain their significance to this day.
