DEVELOPING METHODOLOGICAL COMPETENCIES OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION OF NATURAL SCIENCE TEACHING BASED ON MODERN PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES
Abstract
This article examines the development of methodological competencies of future primary school teachers through organizing the teaching of natural sciences based on modern pedagogical approaches. In the course of the study, the theoretical foundations of integrative education, its didactic potential, and its role in the primary education system were analyzed. Furthermore, the level of methodological preparedness of future teachers was investigated, and existing challenges were identified. The article substantiates the pedagogical conditions, methods, and tools for organizing the teaching of natural sciences based on modern pedagogical approaches. The results of the study demonstrate that the implementation of a pedagogical model aimed at developing methodological competencies of future primary school teachers not only enhances the effectiveness of the educational process but also significantly increases learners’ engagement in acquiring fundamental knowledge.
