Gamification, preschool education, professional competenceAbstract
This article examines the pedagogical and theoretical foundations for developing the professional competence of future preschool educators through gamification technology. The study substantiates the didactic potential of gamification from the perspectives of the competence-based approach, motivational and activation factors, learner-centered education, and the integration of interactive teaching methods. It is argued that applying game mechanics and digital educational tools within professional training enhances pedagogical thinking, creativity, communication skills, and reflective practice among future educators. The findings may serve as a methodological framework for improving the professional competence of preschool education students in higher education institutions.
