In the era of globalization, education systems face the challenge of fostering students' civic identity. History education plays a key role in this process, yet traditional teaching methods often fail to ensure students’ awareness of their civic roles. This study, conducted in five regions of Kazakhstan (Zhetysu, Karaganda, Kostanay, Pavlodar, and Ulytau), analyzes the impact of active teaching methods (debates, case studies, role-playing, historical document analysis) on the development of civic identity in 7th–10th grade students. The sample included 750 students (375 experimental, 375 control) and 15 teachers. The methodology involved pre- and post-testing of civic identity (Berry’s Civic Identity Scale), surveys, and participant observation. Findings: a) Civic identity levels increased by 34% (p<0.05) in experimental groups versus 12% in control groups, b) 80% of teachers reported increased student motivation, while 47% observed improved academic performance, c) 86.6% of teachers acknowledged the effectiveness of collaborative lesson planning and Lesson Study. The results confirm that active learning methods not only enhance student engagement but also contribute to the development of civic consciousness. These findings align with international trends (IEA ICCS 2022), emphasizing the transition to interactive and participatory teaching.
