Annotation: The article presents the results of a study of the problem of preparing pedagogical university students to form primary school students’ functional literacy. Functional litera- cy is a new educational outcome of primary general education, introduced into the federal state educational standard in 2021. The emergence of a new educational outcome necessitates pre- paring future teachers at a pedagogical university. Scientific understanding of the problem of preparing future primary school teachers to form functional literacy of younger students begins with the definition of methodological approaches. The study was carried out with the focus on the competence­based approach. The competence-based approach is used in various modern sci- entific disciplines: economic, psychological and pedagogical ones. The lack of uniformity in the understanding of the term “approach” in scientific sources is noted, the scientists’ points of view considering the competence­based approach as an approach to the study of a scientific problem or as an approach to practical activities is highlighted. The study was carried out as an interdisciplinary one based on the understanding of the conceptu- al and terminological apparatus of various scientific disciplines. Methodology of cross­disciplinary research examines various interpretations of the essential characteristics of the concepts of competence and competency, which are used in school pedagogy and professional pedagogy with generalization and systematiza- tion at the level of general pedagogy. Broad and narrow interpre- tations of the concept of competence­based approach are noted: the term in a broad sense is used in general pedagogy in rela- tion to the integration of an individual into society, in a narrow sense in professional pedagogy in relation to a person’s mastery of professional activity methods. The correspondence of the level of educational outcomes (elementary and functional literacy and professional competency) with the types of solved tasks and the formation of different types of competencies is established.
