Abstract: The relevance of the study is determined by the need to ensure the improvement of professional competence of future primary school teachers through an interdisciplinary approach. The aim of the study was to develop and implement an interdisciplinary psychology and pedagogy seminar for professional development in the training of primary school teachers and assess its effectiveness. The research employed the following methods: pedagogical experiment, questionnaire surveys, comparison of indicators of the control group (CG) and experimental group (EG), statistical data processing, as well as observation of participants. The implementation of interdisciplinary psychology and pedagogy seminars had a positive effect on the professional competence of bachelors in pedagogy in the EG. The resultant significant increase in the high level (up to 50%) and a decrease in the low level (up to 6%) confirms the effectiveness of the above measures, which demonstrates an improvement in the quality of student training compared to the CG. The academic novelty of the study is the development and implementation of an innovative interdisciplinary psychology and pedagogy seminar to improve the professional competence of future primary school teachers. The methodology that combines various subjects and approaches to develop complex professional teachers’ skills was applied for the first time in the context of pedagogical training of primary school teachers. Research prospects include adapting the seminar to other levels of education and studying its long-term impact on the teachers’ professional development.
