Materials and Methods. The study follows the value-semantic approach. The research methods employed include the survey, the unfinished sentence method, statistical methods and content analysis.
Results. The authors summarized the existing theoretical research on this problem, identified the level of future teachers’ awareness about the history of our country, justified the need to apply a value-semantic approach to the process of preparing students for delivering historical education in primary school with the main focus on the formation of historical memory, and proposed ways of preparing students for delivering historical education.
Conclusions. The authors conclude that the preparation of future teachers for historical education with the main focus on the formation of historical memory among students should be carried out on the basis of a value-semantic approach. The basis of readiness for the implementation of this process is high level of teachers’ awareness about the history of our country, as well as their understanding and practical application of the mechanism of historical education in conjunction with the formation of historical memory.
