Coding is a spreading teaching methodology that is involving more students and teachers all over the world. But how can the practice of coding affect the development of computational thinking strategies in early years? The author, a primary school teacher, will investigate the Italian experience, believing that it may constitute an excellent field of study on the matter thanks to the enormous enthusiasm with which coding was received by the teachers, capable of renewing their teaching practices, particularly in primary school. This is a movement born from below, from the spontaneous participation of teachers, and which, in many cases, has been substantiated in what can be defined as unplugged activities, without the use of electronic technological tools.

The article provides a comparative analysis of future primary school teacher training programs to working in a multilingual environment on the example of Artesis Plantijn Hogeschool Antwerpen and Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University. General tendencies in teacher training at the level of content and methodological support are highlighted and systematized. They are the duration of general pedagogical training, competency-based training, interactive learning, individualization of the professional trajectory of the future teacher, interdisciplinary integration at the level of the educational program, the study of foreign languages and teaching methodology. A significant importance before the enrollment to a Hogeschool in Flanders is given to a placement test enabling various types of further individualization of the professional training. In Ukraine individualization is applied after the institutional screening test. As evidenced by a curriculum analysis in both Flanders and Ukraine, study time of general pedagogical subjects is the same. A competency-based approach goes through the entire curriculum up to practical training which occupies a major place in the teacher training process. Teacher training to working in a multilingual environment takes place while learning foreign languages, teaching methodology, and studying socio-cultural modules/subjects. This approach is ensured through interdisciplinary integration within the curriculum. For instance, in Flanders students are offered a multilingual subject program, built as a language maintenance program type A (according to J. Cenoz) in both Dutch and French. In Ukraine students are offered an integrated course of English and teaching methodology. According to the results of our research, multilingual content of teacher training is more developed in Flanders. Therefore, further research of primary school teacher training to working in the multilingual environment in Wallonia and Brussels is needed

Among the skills that modern people need for self-realization there are creativity, critical thinking, communication with people, working with information, computer literacy, striving for self-improvement, flexibility, openness to innovations. To navigate the turbulent flow of information, each individual needs developed critical thinking. Critical thinking skills should be developed and refined right from the school desk, from the early school age. Children are open to innovations. These qualities should be used to their maximum potential in the educational process. The article presents separate methods for the development of critical thinking, which a primary school teacher can use in teaching process of the subject "I am in the World". Specific examples of using the Aquarium methods are presented: "Fish bone", "Six hats" and others at the lessons in the 3rd form of comprehensive schools. The emphasis is made on the importance of students’ critical thinking, which promotes orientation towards success in activity, self-realization and self-development. Mastering the strategies of critical thinking development is considered as an important task of educational systems in many countries of the world, including Ukraine. Critical thinking is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. Facilitating its development in students requires a teacher of high professionalism. In this situation attention should be paid to the systematic and thorough study of the theory and methodology of teaching, the experience of using various strategies of other teachers, methodologists, accumulation of their own experience. There are a lot of methods for the development of critical thinking. Each of them has its own specifics, structure, stages (although it is not forbidden to make certain adjustments, taking into account the age of pupils, the studied subject). Proper use of such methods in the course "I am in the World”, which is interdisciplinary and shapes the outlook of students, will help the primary school teacher to teach children to think independently, to see and evaluate the problem, to look for several possible solutions, to make decisions and to interact effectively with others.
