Abstract
Modern research shows that the professional competence of teachers also includes a lot of criteria, including: the ability to work in a team, interact with colleagues and parents, and use modern technologies in the educational process. This becomes especially relevant in the context of constant changes in the specifics of education, when teachers are faced with the need to integrate new technologies into the educational process. In addition, in the context of globalization and intercultural interaction, teachers also need to develop intercultural competence. This term can be understood as respect for cultural differences, which allows you to create a fairly comfortable educational environment where each student feels calm and protected. Teachers must be ready to work with multinational and multicultural classes, which requires from them not only knowledge, but also flexibility in approaches to teaching.
The purpose of this article is to study the phenomenon of communicative competence of a teaching staff.
Thanks to the psychological experiment, the concept, content, essence and components of communicative competence of teaching staff were given; The communicative competence of teachers is considered as a leading component of professional competence in general; the results of psychological diagnostics of communicative competence of teaching staff are analyzed.
The following methods were used in the study: the questionnaire "Diagnostics of styles of pedagogical communication" (N.P. Fetiskin), the questionnaire «What type of communication skills do you have?» (A.P. Panfilova), the technique «Diagnostics of the presence of empathy, tolerance, conflict in a teacher» (V.V. Boyko, I.M. Yusupov), the questionnaire «Assessment of communication skills» (A. Mekhrabien). In the study, various methods of analyzing the information obtained were used, including qualitative and quantitative approaches.
