The selection and application of the most optimal pedagogical technologies in the educational process determines the achievement of high-level learning outcomes by students and the formation of professional skills. The analyses conducted in the article confirm this idea. Thus, the application of interactive technologies in the optimal teaching of the subject of “Pedagogy” is studied in the article as an important factor in the pedagogical mastery and competence of the teacher.
