FAMILY-BASED LEARNING AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING INDEPENDENCE IN PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a family-based digital learning approach aimed at supporting the independence of primary school children. The study focuses on simple cooking tasks that help children become more confident, accurate, and responsible through clear visual instructions and short step-by-step activities. The structure of a small digital course was designed, including four modules: tasks children can complete independently, kitchen safety materials, joint child-parent recipes, and activities based on Uzbek culinary traditions. Visual lesson cards with simple steps and large images were created to make the learning process easy and engaging for both children and parents. The model shows that family participation, visual clarity, and gradual task levels can effectively support the development of independence in children aged 7-10, making learning more meaningful and emotionally supportive.
