THE PEDAGOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AXIOLOGICAL APPROACH IN DEVELOPING THE PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

This article examines the pedagogical significance of the axiological approach in developing the professional competence of future primary school teachers. It emphasizes that modern teacher education should not be limited to the transmission of theoretical knowledge and methodological skills, but should also focus on forming a stable system of professional, ethical, humanistic, and national values. The article discusses the role of axiology in shaping future teachers’ attitudes toward the child as the highest value, as well as their responsibility, empathy, tolerance, creativity, and commitment to self-development. Special attention is given to the spiritual and pedagogical heritage of ancestors, pedagogical deontology, and the integration of national and universal values into teacher preparation. The article also analyzes the structure of professional-axiological competence and the stages of developing professional values through axiological training, case studies, role-playing, reflection, portfolios, and self-assessment activities.
