The purpose of this research is to receive teacher opinions on the formation of the professional status of teachers on the basis of a synergistic approach to the organisation of methodological work. This research was created in accordance with the qualitative research method. The study group of the research consisted of 40 primary schoolteachers working in various primary schools in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the 2021–2022 academic year. The data of the research were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. As a result of the research, the majority of primary schoolteachers participating in the research stated that teachers’ behaviour in accordance with the ethical principles of the profession, providing a qualified teaching education, transforming them into a profession with high economic returns and improving their personal rights are factors that positively affect the status of the teaching profession. The majority of primary schoolteachers participating in the research evaluated the low economic return of the profession, the insufficient personal rights of the profession, the lack of appreciation of the teacher in the education system and the high expectation from the teacher as factors that negatively affect the status of the teaching profession. The majority of primary schoolteachers participating in the research determined that developing the reorganisation of teacher training policies, providing professional motivation in-service trainings for teachers, creating a sharing platform for teachers and working to improve the perception of society in a positive way are suggestions for the formation of the professional status of teachers on the basis of a synergetic approach to the organisation of methodological work.   Keywords: Occupational status, teaching profession, teacher opinions;
