Future primary school teachers’ art and pedagogical training modernization

Abstract

The paper aims to determine the perspective directions of modernization of future primary school teachers’ art and pedagogical training. It has been found that the future elementary school teachers’ art and pedagogical compe-tence is rather immature. The art and pedagogical training has the following disadvantages: instability of interest in art and pedagogical activities, limited erudition in art and methods of teaching it. Many students do not have the ability for creative self-realization, as well as the desire for self-development. Finding out the shortcomings has made it possible to determine the directions of modernization of the art and pedagogical training. The following directions of moderni-zation of the art and pedagogical training of future primary school teachers have been distinguished: expansion and intensification of practical bases of training; implementation of personality development guidelines for training; taking into account modern tendencies in the development of art and pedagogy; ensuring integrity of materials of profession-related disciplines and methods of teaching arts subjects with the introduction of variational approaches to learning.
