PEDAGOGICAL METHODS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE CULTURE IN HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS

Abstract

This article examines pedagogically grounded methods for developing communicative culture among students of higher education institutions. Communicative culture is interpreted as a complex integrative quality that reflects students’ speech competence, interpersonal interaction skills, ethical norms of communication, emotional self-regulation, and readiness for constructive dialogue in academic and professional contexts. The study substantiates the importance of interactive, student-centered teaching methods—such as dialogic learning, problem-based discussions, role-playing, case studies, and reflective practices—in fostering effective communication skills. Particular attention is given to the role of the educational environment in supporting cooperation, mutual respect, and the development of social and professional responsibility. The findings emphasize that the purposeful and systematic application of these methods contributes to the formation of communicatively competent, culturally aware, and professionally prepared graduates in higher education.
