The article reveals the importance of using information and communication technologies (ICT) in primary
school lessons both to achieve a specific learning outcome and to create an environment that stimulates students'
creative potential and contributes to the formation of key competencies needed in the 21st century.
The authors emphasize the importance of adhering to a strategy for implementing ICT in the educational
process, which is characterized by defining the purpose of using a specific technology or digital tool, the correct
selection of ICT tools and their capacity for deep reflection and evaluation.
Key pedagogical conditions for the effective use of modern ICT tools in primary school are presented.
It is emphasized that the use of ICT allows teachers to focus on three key aspects of modern education:
fundamentality, activity and axiology.
The study pays special attention to the main teaching methods when using ICT within the framework of
the primary school program. The authors distinguish and characterize the explanatory-illustrative, partiallysearch, research and project methods. Each of these methods has its own specifics and application in the
educational process.
The use of ICT for interactive learning, for the formation of basic skills of younger schoolchildren within
the framework of STEM education, for the creation and conduct of educational quests in primary school as well
as for game methods used in lessons is considered. This contributes to the development of key skills of students
and makes it relevant and valuable in modern education.
The results of the study may be useful for educators in using ICT in terms of encouraging students to
actively participate in the educational process and developing their critical thinking and research skills along
with creating a more dynamic, effective and interesting educational environment.
