Objective: The study examines the pedagogical possibilities of uniting education and upbringing through the integration of national heritage into geography education in Uzbekistan. It focuses on developing middle school students' national identity, spirituality, and intellectual qualities through geography as an interdisciplinary science that connects nature, society, and culture. Method: The research utilizes methodical, didactic, and organizational means to integrate both material and non-material national heritage into geography education. Special emphasis is placed on the historical-geographical sites, cultural landscapes, ethnographic materials, and regional historical artifacts of the Fergana Valley. The study is based on pedagogical observations, experimental teaching practices, and comparative studies of learning outcomes. Results: The integration of national heritage into geography education enhances students' geographical literacy, spatial thinking, and civic values. It also cultivates moral education and cultural transmission. The findings suggest that the approach improves students' engagement, geographical knowledge, and emotional connection to their national heritage. Novelty: This research introduces a pedagogical system that optimizes the integration of education and upbringing by incorporating regional heritage into geography education. It provides valuable recommendations for curriculum development in Uzbekistan and offers insights into heritage-based learning for similar cultural-educational contexts.
