Abstract
The purpose of this research is to get the opinions of teacher candidates to train future primary school teachers to create a communication culture through educational technologies. This study was created with the qualitative research method. The study group of the research consists of 40 teacher candidates studying in the primary school teaching department at various universities in Kazakhstan. Research data were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. As a result, while the majority of primary school teacher candidates found themselves sufficient in using technology, they found themselves moderately competent in using educational technologies. Primary school teacher candidates stated that programs related to both educational technologies and creating a communication culture should be developed in universities. It is necessary to implement the suggestions of pre-service teachers on improving the communication culture and to organize the education given at universities in this direction.
