The article deals with the problem of formation of methodological and mathematical competence of future primary school teachers. The article reveals the essence of the concepts “competence”, “methodological competence”, “methodological-mathematical competence”. The characteristics of methodological and mathematical competence of primary school teachers’ formation is highlighted. Authors investigate the educational components that provide the formation of methodological-mathematical competence of future primary school teachers of the institution of general secondary education, according to the curriculum of the first (bachelor) level of higher education in the specialty 013 “Primary Education” in the field of study 01 “Education / Pedagogy”. The article describes the ways the methodological-mathematical training of future primary school teachers. The methodical and mathematical training of future primary school teachers is a process of forming methodical and mathematical competence, and the result is the acquisition by future teachers of professionally oriented mathematical knowledge, abilities and skills for successfully solving professional tasks in the process of teaching mathematics to younger schoolchildren in primary school. In the methodological-mathematical training of the future primary school teacher, learning technologies that model the content of future professional activities and help to include students in the educational process through the creation of problem-professional situations, role-playing games, debates and discussions, the use of interactive learning technologies, provide an opportunity students themselves to develop tasks of a problematic nature for independent work, the content of educational projects, lapbooks, etc. An important issue remains the integration of methodological and mathematical disciplines in the process of training future primary school teachers in institutions of higher education in the specialty 013 «Elementary Education», because the effective formation of professional methodological and mathematical competence of the teacher depends on its implementation.

In the article, modern models and technologies of group interaction applied in the professional preparation of future primary school teachers, particularly under distance learning conditions, are analysed. The purpose of the study is to systematize and analyse contemporary models of group interaction in the professional training of future primary school teachers; to substantiate a hybrid model of a structured interactive lecture for distance learning; and to identify its advantages and limitations in the context of developing students’ professional and socio-communicative competencies. To achieve this purpose, a comprehensive approach was employed, combining theoretical methods (analysis and synthesis of psychological and pedagogical literature, modeling), empirical methods (observation, analysis of activity outcomes, feedback), as well as normative-analytical and instrumental methods, notably incorporating digital tools and artificial intelligence technologies. The outcome of the study is the development of a hybrid model for a structured lecture with elements of group interaction, based on the principles of positive interdependence, individual accountability, mutual support, the development of social skills, and group reflection. It was determined that such a model stimulates cognitive activity, promotes reflection, and facilitates the development of teamwork skills, while also providing conditions for the formation of students’ professional and sociocommunicative competencies. The practical significance of the study lies in the applicability of the developed model in the training of future primary school teachers in a distance learning format, using CSCL tools (e.g., Padlet, Google Docs, Canva). At the same time, the model’s limitations are outlined: technical difficulties, cognitive overload, and challenges in evaluating the contribution of each participant. The conclusions emphasize the expediency of further enhancing group interaction through the implementation of adaptive group formation algorithms, the advancement of students’ digital literacy, and the integration of analytical tools to monitor interaction effectiveness. Future research prospects include examining the impact of group work forms on the development of pedagogical reflection and the preparedness of future teachers to facilitate the educational process.

Constructive skills help younger pupils to perceive and evaluate the harmony in life, nature, art, understand and create beauty in the surrounding reality and be creative. Therefore, it is crucial to train primary school teachers to develop constructive skills in younger pupils to reinforce their creative development. The paper aims to theoretically justify and experimentally verify the content, forms and methods of effective training of future primary school teachers for developing constructive skills in younger pupils. The students were divided into two groups, namely control group (CG –132 respondents) and experimental group (EG – 137 respondents). It presents the author’s educational and methodical complex, which reveals the content of such training and the use of effective forms for organizing the educational process in higher education institutions. It analyzes the levels of readiness of future teachers to develop constructive skills in younger pupils based on questionnaires, interviews, expert assessment, self-assessment, grading of teachers’ personal and professionally essential qualities, tests, observations and methods for assessing creative thinking and motivation towards learning in younger pupils. The results obtained from the formative stage of the pedagogical experiment in the experimental group (EG) show that a mean value of a low level of future primary school teachers’ readiness to develop constructive skills in younger pupils has decreased by 30.6%; a mean value of a sufficient level has increased by 14.9%; a mean value of a high level has decreased by 15.6%. At the same time, the corresponding values in the control group (CG) have not changed significantly. The results of the experimental work prove the expediency of introducing the author’s model in the training of future primary school teachers.
