The rapid transformation of modern education requires future teachers to possess advanced analytical, integrative, and problem-solving abilities that enable them to understand educational processes as interconnected systems. Systemic thinking is therefore recognized as a key pedagogical competency that enhances teachers’ capacity to evaluate relationships, detect patterns, and make well-grounded professional decisions. This article examines the role of pedagogical technologies in fostering systemic thinking skills among prospective teachers. Digital platforms, interactive learning environments, problem-based learning (PBL), modular instruction, and integrative pedagogical approaches are analyzed in terms of their effectiveness for developing holistic perception, analytical reasoning, and conceptual interconnections. The study provides a theoretical explanation of systemic thinking, identifies the cognitive mechanisms activated through pedagogical technologies, and proposes a structured model for integrating these technologies into teacher training. The findings indicate that technology-assisted instruction significantly improves cognitive flexibility, reflective awareness, and the ability to analyze educational phenomena systematically.
