Abstract
This article examines the development of critical thinking in future primary school teachers within the framework of the 4K model, which includes Creativity, Communication, Collaboration, and Critical Thinking. In modern education, the preparation of competent and intellectually active teachers is becoming increasingly important, as primary school educators play a key role in shaping students’ cognitive and social abilities. The study focuses on identifying effective pedagogical approaches that enhance intellectual development through critical thinking skills. Methodological strategies and innovative teaching practices were designed and integrated into the educational process to encourage analytical reasoning, problem-solving, independent learning, and cooperative interaction among teacher trainees. The research employed both theoretical and practical methods, including pedagogical observation, questionnaires, comparative analysis, and experimental implementation. Practical experiments were conducted with future primary school teachers to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The findings demonstrated that the integration of critical thinking activities within the 4K framework significantly improved students’ intellectual abilities, creativity, communication competence, and collaborative skills. Participants showed increased capacity for reflective thinking, decision-making, and active engagement in educational tasks. The article concludes that the systematic application of the 4K model in teacher education contributes to the formation of highly qualified, intellectually developed, and innovative future educators. The study highlights the importance of critical thinking as a central component in modern pedagogical training and provides recommendations for implementing these approaches in higher education institutions preparing primary school teachers.
