Implementation of a competency-based approach in the training of future primary school teachers

Abstract

Ensuring the reform of today's primary school provides for a certain removal of restrictions in pedagogical activity, providing teachers with freedom in interpreting educational programs, using forms and methods of working with younger students. This requires from elementary school teachers not only deep knowledge, possession of a set of relevant professional skills and abilities, but also an orientation towards pedagogical creativity, towards the needs of the student in the educational process, an understanding of their own responsibility for the results obtained, the ability to act effectively in conditions of academic freedom and decentralization of the school. In modern conditions of education reform, the relevance of the problem under study is explained by a number of factors. Therefore, we consider the solution of certain social and educational problems to be an important component of the activity of a primary school teacher.
