Keywords:
modular learning, higher education, primary education, professional competence, student autonomy, pedagogical innovation, teacher education.Abstract
This research paper explores the theoretical and practical foundations of modular learning technology within higher education, emphasizing its application in the training of future primary school teachers. Modular learning represents a flexible, learner-centered educational approach that promotes the development of professional competencies, critical thinking, and autonomous learning skills. The study aims to identify the pedagogical advantages, methodological challenges, and outcomes of implementing modular instruction in teacher education programs.
The research employed a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative interviews with educators and quantitative surveys among students to evaluate the efficiency and perception of modular learning. Results indicate that modular technology enhances student motivation, self-regulation, and academic achievement. It also fosters collaboration and reflective thinking, essential for effective primary education. The study concludes with recommendations for improving modular course design, integrating digital learning tools, and enhancing teacher preparedness for modular pedagogy.
