DEVELOPING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' GENERAL CULTURAL COMPETENCE IN UPBRINGING LESSONS THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

Abstract

This article explores the role of collaborative approaches in fostering general cultural competence among primary school students during upbringing lessons. In an increasingly globalized world, cultivating cultural awareness, ethical values, and social adaptability at an early age is crucial. Collaborative methods, including group projects, discussions, role-playing, and interdisciplinary integration, create a dynamic environment for students to internalize moral norms, national traditions, and global cultural diversity. The study analyzes effective pedagogical strategies, highlights the teacher's role as a facilitator, and emphasizes the importance of family and community involvement. It concludes that a collaborative approach enhances students' ability to interact respectfully in multicultural settings, thus contributing to their holistic development.
