Вдосконалення підготовки вчителів початкової школи до розвитку комунікативної компетентності

The article focuses on the issue of the peculiarities of training future primary school teachers to develop students' communicative competence on the basis of a competence-based approach. It is substantiated that the basis of all competencies should be communicative, which allows mastering all other important activities. Attention is focused on open types of competencies, through which communication is the basis of all competencies, which contributes to the mastery of other important activities, especially teaching; the methodological tools that a future teacher should have to form specific subject competencies in students according to the degree of formation of communicative competence are indicated. Educational and social trends are identified, including the difficulty of defining the principles of education based on the competencies prescribed in educational programs. It is emphasized that it is advisable to focus future teachers on the development of students' communication, which is the basis for their successful learning, since each student must be competent (able) to apply competencies (social requirements, norms) in certain conditions of life. Therefore, the training of primary school teachers should be aimed at mastering the methods of teaching certain disciplines with a focus on the formation of specific subject competencies in students based on the degree of communication competence; mastery of the teaching algorithm: what we teach (subject competence) – why we teach (key competence) – how we teach (communication competence). It is recommended that younger students use effective ways to develop communication skills, such as interaction with a quasi-persona (Persona-Dolls), storytelling (so-called unfinished stories), discussion and cultural events on popular socio-cultural topics.
