The study investigates the relationships between pedagogical and technological competence and digital literacy levels among primary school teachers in Kazakhstan. The research was conducted with 223 primary school teachers from various schools in Almaty, using scales to measure digital literacy, pedagogical competence, and technological competence. The findings indicate that while primary school teachers have high levels of pedagogical competence, their digital literacy and technological competencies are moderate. There are significant differences in these competencies based on gender and professional seniority. Male teachers exhibit higher levels of digital literacy and technological competence, while female teachers have higher pedagogical competence. Multiple regression analysis reveals that digital literacy significantly predicts pedagogical and technological competencies. The study highlights the importance of enhancing teachers' digital literacy to improve their overall competencies and effectiveness in the classroom.The study investigates the relationships between pedagogical and technological competence and digital literacy levels among primary school teachers in Kazakhstan.
