METHODS FOR CREATING AN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Abstract
The article explores methods for constructing an effective communicative environment in higher education, emphasizing the development of communicative competence as a fundamental component of professional training. The study systematizes the structural elements of the communicative environment, including motivational, cognitive, operational, and personal aspects. The research substantiates the role of interactive teaching methods, including training sessions, case studies, and structured discussions, in optimizing students’ communicative skills. A three-stage model is proposed, incorporating preparatory, theoretical, and applied components to ensure the progressive formation of communicative competence. The study identifies the conditions necessary for an effective communicative environment, including the use of differentiated pedagogical strategies and phased integration of communicative practices into the educational process. The findings contribute to the discourse on pedagogical communication, offering a framework for optimizing communicative interactions in higher education.
