IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGICAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS THROUGH A CREATIVE APPROACH

Abstract

The article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of improving the methodological competence of future primary school teachers based on a creative approach. It reveals the essence of the concepts “methodological competence” and “creative approach,” defines their interrelation, and highlights their importance in the professional training of teachers. It is shown that the formation of methodological competence requires not only mastering a system of pedagogical knowledge and skills but also the development of creative thinking, the ability to innovate, and the capacity for independent problem-solving in pedagogical situations. The article presents the main ways and pedagogical conditions for implementing a creative approach in the training of future teachers.
