Abstract:
Modernization of pedagogical education in Russia involves changes in the organization, content and technologies of elementary school teachers’ training. The Graduates of pedagogical universities should be good at different methods and ways of formation of universal educational actions of elementary school students.
The Request of the professional community and the state to the teacher, whose qualification after graduation is sufficient for work in the modern school, has defined a fundamentally new model of primary school teachers’ training.
In the context of Lifelong learning one of the axioms of modern education is formulated as "to learn, to teach how to learn and to teach how to teach in the activities"[1]. Active cooperation of a teacher and a pupil provides a continuous process of development. Nowadays the reflective activity of the teacher and the development of universal skills of learning from their students are getting particularly significant. This is the main purpose of elementary school, which is recorded in the Federal State Educational Standard of Elementary General Education.
Mainly primary school teachers’ training must be relevant to the basic ideas of the subject-activity approach in psychology of education.
In this connection the reflective-active approach involves the development of student subjectivity through active practical training engagement. This approach combines training, practical training and research as three interrelated components of professionalization and personal development of the student.
