Object: professional training of future primary school' teachers in the pedagogical educational institutions; the goal; to ground theoretically, to project the model of formation of research skills of future teachers of primary school during the process of the projective activity and to verify it experimentally; methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization; modeling; questionnaires, interview, testing of teachers of the primary school, testing of students of the specialty 6.010102 "Primary Education"; using of the complex of experimental methods (ascertaining and forming phase); qualitative and quantitative analysis; innovation: for the first time it was elaborated the formation of research skills of future teachers of primary school during the process of the projective activity, which consists of theoretical, operational-activity-and criterion-assessment units and provides the interaction of motivational, cognitive and operational criteria for the formation of certain skills; it is elaborated the classification of research skills of future primary school teachers (organizational-search, cognitive-operational, technology-projective, communicative and reflexive skills), which are based on the types of research activity; it is determined the complex of conditions, which guarantee the effective formation of research skills of future teachers of primary school; it is determined and characterized the criteria, indicators and levels of the formation of research skills of future teachers of primary school during the process of the projective activity; it is proved the role of the projective activity in the formation of the research skills of future teachers of the primary school in the pedagogical education establishments; it is improved: the content of notions "research skills of future primary school teachers"; "teaching-research tasks", "projective activity" in the context of the subject of studying; the further development were gained by: ideas of forming of research skills of future teachers of the primary school during the process of the projective activity, especially: it is determined the approaches, principles, structural components, conditions, stages, methods and forms of work, oriented on the improving of professional training of future specialists.
