Abstract

The purpose of the scientific treatise is to investigate and intensify competence-based readiness of future teachers to professional activities in educational institutions, namely, the interrelated competencies of leaders’ communication competence (LCC) and communication components of global competence (GC). To do this, jigsaw activities & opinion sharing methods were applied to the educational environment of the students of the experimental group. In the process of achieving the goal of research the following methods were used: qualitative-quantitative and contrastive-comparative analysis of the obtained experimental data, statistical-mathematical interpretation of empirical data and their functional analysis, ascertaining experiment method and educational experiment method. The results of the educational experiment prove that on average the representatives of the experimental group managed to score 11.9 points more (9.6%) in accordance with the developed diagnostic paradigm of advanced communicative traits of modern teacher. The improvement of communicative competencies in the behaviour component was the most noticeable within the communication components of GC. The result is 10.0% higher in the experimental group, especially regarding the Skills component both within the LCC (10.3% higher in the experimental group) and within the communication components of GC (the difference here was 17.5%). The applied methods confirmed the positive effect on the development of vocationally orientated communicative competencies of student teachers.

Highlights

A lot of modern academic papers on the training of student teachers suggest that innovative approaches in professional education of such students should be based on the widespread use of information and communication technologies (Slyter, 2019)
An experimental group of independent experts was invited as observers of the learning process of the control and experimental groups
The results were processed and averaged in order to determine the representation of advanced communicative traits of modern teacher by the categories of behaviour, values, & skills at the group level

Summary

Introduction

A lot of modern academic papers on the training of student teachers suggest that innovative approaches in professional education of such students should be based on the widespread use of information and communication technologies (Slyter, 2019). The basis of this is the ability to use the latest information tools pragmatically and to provide persistently a qualitative communication support of the entire educational process. While studying in institutions of higher education, it is important for future teachers to self-determine the concepts of professionalism, professional culture, professional identity. Organization and management of competency-determined university education of future teachers is possible through constant integration into the educational environment of innovative processes and training tools, which would be based on the latest scientific and technological developments, focus on strategic planning and management of educational processes, development of relevant personal and professional qualities
