The diversification of the total hours (credits) provided by the curricula of higher education institutions of Ukraine for students’ self-study in case of equal number of hours (7200 hours - 240 credits) is due to the increase of the self-study scope, envisaged in educational disciplines, which are defined by the curricula. According to the research outcomes, it is suggested to implement the following reforms in primary school teacher training program at Ukrainian universities: increase of the number of hours for self-study, paying special attention to the practical aspect of training, improvement of internship programs, advancement of the content of additional specializations.
