Abstract: In the face of global environmental and social challenges, fostering socio-ecological values among the younger generation has become a key objective of education. The increasing frequency of natural disasters, resource depletion, and environmental degradation necessitates a reevaluation of educational approaches. Natural sciences serve as a crucial platform for instilling these values by enhancing students’ understanding of human-nature interactions and the role of social factors in sustainable development. This study aims to develop and model a methodology for cultivating socio-ecological values in students through natural science education. The research analyzes the educational activities and performance of 2,070 students in grades 8–11 from three schools: No. 45 of Osh State University (Bostandyk district), No. 42 (Auezov district), and No. 187 (Nauryzbai district). Special attention is given to the process of value formation within natural science curricula. The study’s findings offer practical significance for education, particularly in raising students’ awareness of sustainable development issues. The proposed methodology aims to prevent resource depletion while fostering environmentally responsible behavior and social accountability. The research’s novelty lies in its integrated approach, incorporating social and environmental aspects into natural science education. By considering cultural, ecological, and social factors, the proposed methods create conditions conducive to students' holistic development, enhancing their environmental consciousness and sense of responsibility.
