METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO DEVELOPING THE COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITY OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS AND STUDENTS

Abstract

This article explores the methodological approaches to developing collaborative activities between primary school teachers and students. Traditional educational paradigms, which often emphasize normative and empirical methods, are analyzed alongside modern competency-based approaches. The study highlights the limitations of rigid, teacher-centered practices that hinder student motivation and learning outcomes. In contrast, it argues for the adoption of collaborative, student-centered approaches that align educational content with students' life experiences, interests, and future goals. The research also examines the role of competencies, practical skills, and cognitive activities in fostering effective learning environments. Emphasis is placed on the need to transition from authoritative teaching to cooperative learning models, where both teachers and students actively participate in the educational process. Recommendations for improving educational content by integrating normative and personal elements are provided to enhance motivation and engagement in primary education.
