THE ROLE OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN DEVELOPING STUDENTS' COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCIES

Abstract

This article examines the development of communicative competence within the context of modern higher education, emphasizing the growing role of interactive methods and information technologies in teaching. The study highlights the relevance of the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PF-5847, which outlines strategic priorities for improving pedagogical training, integrating innovative teaching methods, and strengthening communication skills among future educators. A review of international and Uzbek scientific literature demonstrates that communicative competence is a multidisciplinary concept shaped by research in pedagogy, psychology, and sociology. The article further explores methodological approaches that enhance effective communication in teaching, including the use of reliable information sources, clear communication goals, and audience-oriented strategies. Special attention is given to the cognitive processes that influence communication, such as perceptual models and contextual factors. The findings underscore the need for continuous, dynamic, and context-sensitive communication to improve the quality of education and foster competent future professionals.
