FORMATION OF GENERAL CULTURAL LITERACY OF THE FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of general cultural literacy and analysis of the formation of general cul- tural competence of primary school teachers by means of art. This competency provides deep understanding of national identity as the basis for an open attitude and respect for the diversity of cultural expressions of others. Therefore, an elementary school teacher must be a role model of culture for its students, and the problem of the general cultural literacy formation of future elementary school teachers will always be a topical issue in training of primary education specialists.
