The development of pedagogical skills of future teachers through a cluster approach is a pressing problem, and its effectiveness was analyzed in the study. The cluster approach and innovative pedagogical technologies were used as a method. According to the results, this approach has been proven to be effective in the formation and strengthening of pedagogical competencies. As a scientific and practical contribution, the author has developed proposals and methodological recommendations for developing pedagogical skills based on a cluster approach. Keywords. Cluster approach, pedagogy, pedagogical master's degree, education, pedagogical technology. Introduction. Currently, reforming the education system of Uzbekistan and training pedagogical personnel in accordance with modern requirements is one of the priority tasks. As our President Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted, “Education and upbringing are the most important areas in building a new Uzbekistan, and the qualifications and skills of teachers are of decisive importance in this process.” Therefore, a number of regulatory documents have been adopted to improve the quality of education and develop the professional competencies of teachers. Developing the pedagogical skills of future teachers is not only about acquiring theoretical knowledge, but also about developing practical skills . Traditional approaches fail to adequately develop the creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and innovative teaching methods required of a modern teacher. Therefore, the use of innovative methods in education, in particular the cluster approach, is a pressing issue. What is the cluster method? Cluster method - A specific form of pedagogical and didactic strategy that helps learners create conditions for free, open thinking and free expression of ideas on arbitrary problems (topics ) . This method requires identifying a structure that allows for thinking about the connections between different ideas. The cluster method is a form of thinking that is not focused on a specific object . Its use is based on the working principle of the human brain. This method serves to ensure that the thinking process is consistent until a specific topic is deeply and thoroughly mastered by learners.

[2] to study the mechanisms for developing pedagogical skills of future teachers based on a cluster approach and to evaluate its effectiveness. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: - Identify the essence of the cluster approach and the features of its application in the educational process; - Assess the effectiveness of the cluster approach in developing the pedagogical skills of future teachers; - Develop methodological recommendations for the development of pedagogical skills based on a cluster approach. it serves to introduce effective pedagogical technologies in the process of training teachers and improve the quality of education. The practical significance lies in the possibility of applying the recommendations developed on the formation of pedagogical skills based on a cluster approach in pedagogical higher education institutions. In this regard, this study has important scientific and practical significance for the development of pedagogical education. Improving pedagogical skills leads to an increase in the experience of imparting knowledge to students. Nowadays, educating students requires not only strong knowledge but also high pedagogical skills. Literature review. The development of pedagogical skills of future teachers and the use of a cluster approach in the educational process have become one of the important research areas of pedagogical science in recent years. Improving the quality of education, improving the professional skills of teachers and introducing modern pedagogical technologies are among the main scientific problems in this area. Therefore, scientific research in this area is related to the improvement of the educational process and the introduction of innovative approaches. The theoretical and practical foundations of the cluster approach in developing the pedagogical skills of future teachers have been studied by Uzbek pedagogical scientists in recent years. In particular, in the study conducted by Tokhtayeva N. (2021) on the topic "Increasing the effectiveness of the cluster approach in the process of training pedagogical personnel", the essence of the cluster education system and its importance in increasing the professional potential of teachers were analyzed. In her study, the author showed the possibilities of mutual cooperation, resource exchange, and innovative activities between educational institutions organized on the basis of the cluster model.
