The purpose of the article is to present the results of testing the model of pre-professional pedagogical training of students. Research methods: theoretical analysis; empirical method, which includes experiments and a set of research and diagnostic procedures. In addition, data processing methods were used, which involve both quantitative and qualitative assessment of the results.
