Abstract
This article examines the mechanisms for developing pedagogical thinking in future teachers of educational subjects. The development of pedagogical thinking is a central component of professional teacher training, enabling educators to analyze complex classroom situations, make evidence-based decisions, and adapt their instructional strategies to diverse learner needs. The article explores theoretical foundations, practical approaches, and modern methodological tools that support the formation of a reflective, creative, and critically oriented professional worldview in student-teachers. Special attention is given to the integration of innovative technologies, problem-based learning, and mentorship systems as key mechanisms. The findings suggest that a systematic, multi-layered approach to cultivating pedagogical thinking significantly enhances the readiness of future teachers for real-world educational challenges.
