Keywords:
moral self-awareness, adolescence, moral developmentAbstract
The article examines the theoretical and psychological foundations of the development of moral self-awareness in adolescence in the context of scientific heritage, modern pedagogical influence, and the formation of professional competence. The relevance of the topic is determined by the growing need to strengthen the moral, civic, and reflective potential of young people in conditions of rapid social change, information pressure, and transformation of value orientations. The paper systematizes scientific approaches to the study of moral self-awareness, including cognitive-developmental, sociocultural, activitybased, personality-oriented, and competence-based approaches. Special attention is paid to the scientific heritage left by ancestors as a psychological and pedagogical resource for shaping moral-educational consciousness in youth, as well as to the role of educational institutions in supporting adolescents’ reflective, ethical, and socially responsible behavior. The article relies on the works of Uzbek scholars, CIS researchers, and foreign authors published mainly in 2010– 2025, as well as on recent studies by Mamanazarov U.B. and co-authors devoted to moral self-awareness, professional competence, and psychological service in higher education. The results of the theoretical analysis show that the development of moral self-awareness in adolescence is a multidimensional process that depends on the interaction of internal factors (reflection, self-attitude, moral values, responsibility) and external conditions (family, education, cultural heritage, pedagogical communication, and psychological support). It is concluded that a scientifically grounded developmental program built on national-spiritual values and contemporary psychological methods can significantly enhance adolescents’ moral reflection, self-regulation, and social responsibility
