At the current stage of education reform in Ukraine, there is a need to train not only qualified, but also psychologically literate teachers with a personal orientation in teaching and educating students. That is why research related to the identification of ways, factors and means of personal and professional growth of the future teacher in the process of his professional training become important. The need to integrate psychological knowledge into the practice of primary school teachers becomes especially relevant in the context of growing educational requirements and social challenges. The purpose of the article is to justify the importance of forming the psychological competence of the future primary school teacher in order to create an effective and adaptive educational system that is able to respond to modern challenges. The psychological training of a primary school teacher in terms of his professional activity is also actualized by the fact that the educational process is a subject-subject socio-pedagogical interaction that includes a mechanism for managing the mental development of a person. Therefore, the fundamentality of the teacher's psychological-pedagogical and methodical training, the level of methodological armament, mastery of the psychological foundations of pedagogical thinking, and the ability to implement a multi-subject dialogic approach in the educational process are of particular importance. The future primary school teacher must possess the methodology of psychological and pedagogical interaction, which ensures not just the transfer of some information from the teacher to the students, but the compatible personal development of people who cooperate. This requires the teacher to rely on knowledge of methods, principles, postulates and strategies of dialogue, on the experience of folk wisdom. The analysis of modern psychological and pedagogical scientific and methodological sources makes it possible to assert that psychological competence is not only an important aspect of the professional activity of the future primary school teacher, but also a critical element that determines his professional development and teaching effectiveness. Developed psychological competence allows teachers to better understand the needs of their students, manage the classroom more effectively, and create an educational environment that promotes active learning and development of each child. It is a deep understanding of the psychological processes of students that can significantly improve the quality of education.
