Abstract

 This article examines the content and significance of a competency-based digital education model in the primary education process. In particular, the role of digital educational technologies in developing the 4Cs — critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration skills — is analyzed. The possibilities of forming students’ independent thinking, problem analysis, creative approaches, and effective teamwork competencies through a digital learning environment are revealed. In addition, digital pedagogical approaches and innovative methods aimed at developing 4C skills are substantiated, taking into account the age and psychological characteristics of primary school students. The research results indicate that the digital education model contributes to improving the effectiveness of the educational process.
