The author addresses the problem of philosophical understanding of the process of the primary school student socialization. On the basis of analysis of the historical views on the nature of man, society and culture, the anthropological, environmental, activity and personality approaches are considered to be the methodological foundation of this process. The level of development of society and the level of development of the members of this society are interdependent. Consequently, while supporting socialization of the junior pupil, it is important to create conditions for the individual development of each child through organization of the developing educational environment. Educational environment should act as a prototype of the socio-cultural environment, allowing the child to recognize and build his/her own system of relations. The developing social-typical relationships of the child shape his/her personality. The socio-cultural environment of the educational institution creates a cultural space, in which the child through the development of various symbols as products of social development and the development of self-consciousness absorbs the socio-historical experience, thus he/she socializes.
