This article explores the implementation of effective methods for ecological education in primary schools, grounded in national values. In the face of global ecological degradation, educating children about environmental responsibility through culturally relevant pedagogy becomes vital. The research investigates how integrating national traditions, customs, and folklore into ecological instruction enhances students' moral, emotional, and behavioral engagement. An experimental study involving 160 primary school pupils across three schools in Surkhandarya region was conducted. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were applied, including pre- and post-tests, observations, and interviews. The study found that students who participated in national value-based ecological activities demonstrated increased environmental awareness, respect for nature, and initiative in eco-friendly behavior. The results support the hypothesis that national values provide a meaningful framework for shaping ecological consciousness. The article offers pedagogical recommendations for embedding traditional ecological ethics into primary education, thereby fostering sustainable cultural-ecological integration from an early age.
