Pedagogical strategies for improving educational quality in Presidential Schools: pilot study results and practical mechanisms

Abstract

This article analyses pedagogical strategies aimed at improving educational quality in Presidential Schools, mechanisms for integrating them into school management and teaching practices, and the results of pilot activities conducted during 2022-2025. The study covered students in grades 6-11 at the Presidential Schools in Fergana, Andijan and Namangan, with a total sample of 432 students. The sample at the Presidential School in Fergana comprised 144 students, with equally sized experimental and control groups. The study argues that educational quality should be assessed not only through final grades but also through changes in learning outcomes, the quality of pedagogical processes, individual developmental needs, teacher collaboration and internal school monitoring. The research materials report an average improvement of 15 percent associated with the pedagogical strategies applied. The findings indicate the importance of integrating evidence-informed decisions, formative assessment, differentiated instruction, pedagogical collaboration and continuous monitoring into a unified approach to sustainably improving educational quality.
