The article examines the theoretical and practical foundations of applying the advanced (anticipatory) learning model in teaching “Digital Literacy and Computer Science” in primary school. The study relies on the theoretical framework of A. M. Tsaturyan and recent methodological interpretations. These interpretations reveal the didactic and psycho-pedagogical principles of the model and its adaptation to the structure of the curriculum. Special attention is given to integrating anticipatory and differentiated learning principles. This integration makes it possible to account for students’ individual characteristics and establishes stable cognitive connections between topics. The analysis of textbooks (grades 2-4) shows that the content follows the logic of semantic continuity. In the 2nd grade, basic ideas about how a computer works and its components are formed. In the 3rd grade, they explore the fundamentals of block-based programming. In the 4th grade, they comprehend the algorithmic structure of actions and programs. Applying this model helps develop logical, computational, and media-active thinking. It enhances cognitive engagement, creativity, and independent learning skills. Moreover, it increases the teacher’s methodological efficiency by providing conditions for consistent and meaningful knowledge acquisition. The advanced learning model ensures a gradual deepening of understanding. It also fosters sustainable motivation toward the subject and prepares students for continuous learning in the digital educational environment.
