DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2026-1-81-91
The formation of financial literacy among the population of the country is considered as a priority area of the educational policy of the Russian Federation, reflected in a number of regulatory documents, in particular, the Strategy for Improving Financial Literacy until 2030. In this regard, the importance of professional training of future teachers capable of effectively implementing the tasks of financial education in primary schools is increasing. The article presents a theoretical analysis of the conceptual framework related to the problem under study. Various interpretations of the concept of “financial literacy” in modern scientific literature are considered. The article is devoted to the analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of the special course “Methods of formation of financial literacy of younger schoolchildren”, introduced into the educational process of preparing students in the direction 44.03.05 “Pedagogical education (with two training profiles)”, the focus “Preschool and primary education”. The purpose of the course was to form the components of professional readiness: cognitive, orientation, operational and experience. The methodological base of the study included input and final diagnostics conducted on a sample of 100 students using a set of validated methods: testing, analysis of pedagogical cases, practice-oriented and project tasks. A special course focused on the development of professional knowledge, methodological skills and reflexive competence was introduced into the experimental group. The results of the comparative analysis showed a significant increase in the number of students who reached an advanced level of readiness in the experimental group compared with the control group. Thus, the testing of the course confirmed its effectiveness and practical significance in the system of professional training of future teachers for the formation of financial literacy of primary school children.
