Abstract
Higher school is one of important resources for the society, region, country sustainability and their social stability; therefore, it is necessary to assess the competencies of all participants in the educational process. The actors directly involved in this process is teaching staff.
The goal of this paper is to identify and scientifically substantiate a set of relevant indicators of teachers’ communicative competencies at engineering university in order to achieve high-quality pedagogical practice. Communicative competencies allow teachers both to implement educational process ahead of reality due to independence, freedom in their educational and research activities, and to open interest, motivation of students to study.
In the course of the present paper an analytical study of psychological, pedagogical and sociological information were used, as well as survey methods and self-diagnostics. It makes possible to determine indicators for assessing the communicative competencies of teachers, such as mastery of the knowledge transmission technique, the implementation of professional communication methods in the real and information environment, the design of a communication mechanism, proficiency in intercultural, technological, professional, educational communication, and empathy.
In the course of the experiment, a survey of students and teachers was carried out to determine the most significant indicators for assessing the teachers’ communicative competencies, as well as their ranking. A discrepancy was revealed within the determining of the significance of some indicators among students of different years and degree programs as well as teaching staff.
Self-diagnostics of teachers’ communicative competencies indicators show the need for continuous professional development and reflection. The most sensitive points are indicators related to design of a communication mechanism in the field of neoclassical and classical pedagogy.
