Main Article Content
Abstract
Mirzo Ulug'bek, a 15th-century astronomer and educator, significantly advanced both scientific and educational landscapes during his era. While his contributions to observational precision and empirical education are celebrated, existing literature often overlooks the unique methods he implemented in star cataloging and the educational reforms he introduced at his Samarkand Madrasah. This study addresses this gap by employing a qualitative analysis of historical texts, astronomical records, and educational documents to explore Ulug'bek’s methodologies and their lasting impact. Findings reveal that his use of large-scale observational instruments, coupled with rigorous empirical data correction, set new standards in astronomy, while his progressive educational framework encouraged critical inquiry and scientific literacy. The results underscore the transformative impact of Ulug'bek’s innovations on the scientific method and educational practices, offering valuable insights for contemporary STEM education reforms in integrating empirical approaches.
