DEVELOPING INFORMATION MANAGEMENT COMPETENCE IN FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS: AN INTEGRATED PEDAGOGICAL FRAMEWORK

The ongoing digital transformation of education has intensified the need for future primary school teachers to effectively locate, evaluate, process, create, and pedagogically utilize information in diverse learning environments. Despite growing attention to digital competence development, a substantial gap remains between technological proficiency and its meaningful integration into primary education practice. This study seeks to design, implement, and evaluate an integrated pedagogical framework aimed at developing information management competence among pre-service primary school teachers.
