ADAPTATION IN THE TRAINING OF FUTURE TEACHERS ON TEACHING NATIONAL-CULTURAL ELEMENTS IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

Abstract

This article addresses a relevant issue in the preschool education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan: the search for effective ways to professionally train future educators based on the values of national culture. The scientific novelty of the research lies in proposing a unique methodological approach, previously unused in preschool education programs. The approach is based on using the process of creating and artistically decorating various gypsum products (yurts, asyks, caskets, national headdresses) adorned with Kazakh national ornaments to develop students' creative and pedagogical competencies. The article analyzes the technological aspects of gypsum casting, the semantics and symbolism of traditional ornaments, and the didactic potential of Kazakh national games and traditions in preschool education. The results of empirical research demonstrate that the proposed methodology contributes to an average increase of 35% in students' creative activity, a 40% increase in their interest in national culture, and a qualitative improvement in professional and pedagogical skills. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the presented methodological recommendations and practical materials can be used by educators and teachers of preschool educational institutions as an auxiliary tool for organizing ethno-cultural education.
