In 1933, with the aim of training highly qualified pedagogical personnel, the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology was established at the Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute. The first head of the department was Professor M. Smolensky, who identified the primary focus of the department as the study of the theoretical and experimental foundations of pedagogy and psychology. In 1935, V. Zaborsky was appointed head of the department, followed by Associate Professor V. Norishkin, who led the department from 1941 to 1950. During this period, the department concentrated mainly on educational activities, providing practical support to teachers and public education authorities in organizing the teaching and learning process. Scientific research was limited to writing articles for academic-methodological journals, summarizing advanced pedagogical practices, and publishing materials related to the scientifically grounded organization of the educational process.
Notable department members such as V. Norishkin, N. Shirboev, and N. Khasanov successfully defended their candidate and doctoral dissertations. In the post-war period, the scientific potential of the department grew significantly, both in quantity and quality. Its educational and research activities expanded and improved substantially.
