Abstract

Relevance. In the context of the reorganisation of the educational process policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the issue of teaching primary school children to develop functional literacy becomes urgent, which is an important step for modernising the educational system of the Republic of Kazakhstan and ensuring the competitiveness of the young generation. Purpose. The study aims to develop and experimentally verify the model of functional literacy development of junior schoolchildren based on digital educational resources. Methodology. The study employed analysis, comparison, systematisation, classification, generalisation, experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The concepts of �functional literacy�, �development of functional literacy of junior schoolchildren�, and �development of functional literacy based on digital educational resources� were defined. The research was conducted in general education schools �School-lyceum No. 66� and �School No. 16� (Karaganda). As part of the experiment, the development of the functional literacy of junior schoolchildren model was carried out, namely the implementation of components with selected methods of their formation and pedagogical conditions, which was used to improve the educational process in primary schools of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Conclusions. The results of the conducted experiment formed promising directions for improving the educational process aimed at the development of functional literacy in the Republic of Kazakhstan through the formation of components, as well as pedagogical conditions and the development of methods of their implementation. The practical significance of the study consists in the development and implementation of the model, components, pedagogical conditions and methods of development of functional literacy of junior schoolchildren in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
