Adapting educational methodologies to the cognitive characteristics of modern primary school students has become critical in the era of intensive digital transformation and rapid global changes. This study focuses on determining the effectiveness of implementing micro- and nano-learning enriched with gamification elements in the primary education system. The main objective of this research is to identify the impact of these advanced pedagogical approaches on the development of cognitive abilities, academic motivation and social competencies of 8-9 year old students.

The research methodology included analysis of the Republic of Kazakhstan's regulatory framework, review of scientific literature, diagnosis of cognitive functions and assessment of students' learning motivation and social competencies. The empirical component was conducted in Almaty schools with the participation of control and experimental groups over a period of 4 months.
