Scientific Research Directions and Projects The Department of Sports Games and Teaching Methodology conducts scientific research in several strategic areas. These directions aim to conduct scientific research that meets modern educational demands, expand cooperation with national and international scientific communities, and achieve practical results:

• Methodology of teaching sports games: Developing the methodology of teaching sports games as a subject is one of the department's priority areas. Special attention is paid to developing the psychological and physiological aspects of games (S.X.Xabibullayev), developing tactical and strategic approaches (S.K.Toshpo‘latov), and improving independent learning-oriented approaches (B.I.Xo‘janiyozov).
• Research on the upbringing and development of young athletes: The department's scientific research in this area focuses on physical training, developing appropriate physical training programs for young athletes, and determining the physical loads necessary for their growth and development (T.U.Zufarov). Scientific research has also been initiated on improving the psychological readiness of athletes, managing stress, setting goals, and increasing motivation (M.N.Shermatov).
• Research on digital technologies in sports (e.g., video analysis, virtual reality): A number of scientific works are being carried out within the direction of digital technologies in sports. This includes athlete analysis: studying athletes' movements through video analysis, evaluating tactics and strategies, and preparing video materials that help coaches better understand their athletes' movements (A.I.Nazarov, A.I.Sultanov).
• On improving the professional competence of coaches: Research on effective teaching methods, pedagogical technologies, and innovative methods for coaches is important. Work is being carried out on introducing interactive teaching, problem-solving methods, and similar methodologies (V.Sh.Karayev). These directions contribute to enhancing the department's scientific research potential and developing new modern methodologies.
