The article considers the general didactic level of methodological thinking of a primary school teacher as a component of artistic and graphic culture of the teacher and a competence basis of their professional pedagogical activity, including the organisation of fine arts and technology lessons. The main levels of methodological thinking are given: general didactic (metamethodological thinking); epistemological (knowledge-theoretical); axiological (value-meaning); psychological and pedagogical.

Some pedagogical conditions of development of methodological thinking in future primary school teachers are shown and ways of methodological thinking development through methods of cognition (teaching) according to the established and widespread in school practice concept of native didacticians M. N. Skatkin and I. Y. Lerner are presented.
