A National Values–based Approach to Teaching the Art of Embroidery in General Secondary Education Schools

This article examines the pedagogical significance of applying a national values–based approach in teaching the art of embroidery. Embroidery is explored not only as a form of applied decorative art, but also as an important element of cultural heritage that embodies the historical memory, aesthetic perception, and spiritual identity of a nation. The study emphasizes the role of integrating national values into the educational process as a means of fostering students’ creative thinking, strengthening patriotic awareness, and developing professional competencies. The findings highlight the effectiveness of culturally grounded pedagogy in enhancing both artistic skills and holistic personal development.
