TRANSFER OF DIGITAL TOOLS INTO THE MUSIC PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE OF STUDENT TEACHERS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD AND PRIMARY EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: The modern digital environment offers an exceptionally rich range of interactive tools that optimize, organize, and support the entire process of creating and visualizing educational content. The implementation of these digital tools promotes flexibility, adaptability, and an individualized approach to learning, which is critical for developing creative thinking, digital literacy, and professional mastery in the era of global digital transformation. Such modernization of the educational environment not only increases learner engagement and motivation but also fosters their readiness for independent research and practical activity. The transition from traditional to hybrid pedagogical models requires digital literacy to be viewed as a fundamental and indispensable component of contemporary methodical training for future educators. Students enrolled in "Early Childhood and Primary Pedagogy" degree programs face the ongoing challenge of mastering multidisciplinary educational content alongside modern technologies for fully organizing children's cognitive activity. Music as an independent educational field is based on specific practical activities, artistic talents, auditory perceptions, and individual abilities required for their successful implementation in kindergartens and primary schools. This necessitates the integration of versatile digital tools into the higher pedagogical training process to support prospective educators and enable them to independently create engaging and interactive music education resources. Despite existing achievements in teachers' general technical preparation, the need to develop concrete strategies for applying specialized software specific to the field of music remains unaddressed. This study provides a detailed analysis of the informative, methodical, and technical functions of these digital resources. Special emphasis is placed on adapting the functional parameters of specialized notation software as an accessible tool for facilitating the creation of original resources and developing initial music literacy in primary school students. A specific innovative model for mastering educational content by integrating music activities within the context of the modern STEAM approach is thoroughly examined. The attitudes and readiness of student teachers—future kindergarten and primary school teachers—toward the practical application of the acquired digital resources in their future professional practice were empirically investigated. The study presents a practical transfer of digital competencies into real pedagogical skills within the learning environment. As a result of the research, an applied scientific framework of accessible digital-methodical resources was derived, ensuring a sustainable transfer of innovative technologies into the modern kindergarten and primary school environment.
