Abstract:
At present, the educational process of elementary school is in dire need of modern approaches to solving the set educational tasks, to improve and introduce modern technologies into the educational process, which are necessary to improve the quality of education as a starting point for secondary and high schools. Blended learning at the present stage is one of the pedagogical conditions for achieving educational results in accordance with the modern requirements of the State Educational Standard.

Blended learning is a special educational approach that effectively and systematically combines traditional classroom learning and online learning. Efficiency is associated not only with the combination of forms of education, but also with the methodological study of the courses of the taught disciplines in terms of the effectiveness of the application of traditional and innovative approaches.

Blended learning is understood as a technology for organizing the educational process based on the combination of a traditional classroom system and e-learning, which is based on the opportunities provided by information and communication technologies.

The article deals with the theoretical aspects of the implementation of the educational process in elementary school using blended learning formats.

The theoretical analysis of the psychological and pedagogical literature on the research problem, the synthesis of scientific sources, generalization, observation, interviewing were the methods for studying the problem.
In the course of the research the following tasks were solved:
1. Various approaches to the definition of blended learning were studied.
2. The features that reflect the essence of the phenomenon under study were identified.
3. Teachers, who successfully use the blended learning format in elementary school were interviewed.
4. Generalized vision of blended learning technology in elementary school was developed.
5. The most effective methods and techniques of blended learning in elementary school were described.

Theoretical significance of the study conducted and described in the article lies in the fact that a description of the theoretical aspects of the introduction of blended learning technology at the level of primary general education is given, the most effective methods and techniques are presented. The positive characteristics of the introduction of blended learning into the educational process of elementary school are noted, as well as problematic points for the implementation of blended learning technology at the level of primary general education (lack of technical devices, access to the Internet; lack of practical experience, experience of elementary school teachers, an increase in the time spent by the teacher in preparing for blended learning lessons, inability to use technical devices ).
