The development of professional and creative competence among future primary school teachers is an important priority in contemporary teacher education. Primary school teachers are expected not only to possess subject-specific knowledge and pedagogical skills but also to design engaging learning experiences, respond flexibly to pupils’ individual needs, and apply creative solutions to educational challenges. This study aims to identify and theoretically substantiate the pedagogical conditions necessary for developing the professional and creative competence of prospective primary school teachers. The research draws on theoretical analysis, comparative analysis, synthesis, generalization, and pedagogical interpretation of relevant scholarly literature.
