Evaluation of the effectiveness of pedagogical technologies in the formation of socio-cultural competence of students

modern globalization processes and the intensity of intercultural contacts determine the urgent need to form a high level of socio-cultural competence in students of higher educational institutions for successful interaction in a multicultural world. Despite the diversity of pedagogical technologies used in the educational process, there is insufficient clarity regarding their real effectiveness in the targeted formation of such a complex construct as socio-cultural competence, and there are no systematized approaches to assessing their effectiveness in this context. Purpose. Analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of various pedagogical technologies used in higher education for the formation of socio-cultural competence of students, based on the generalization of existing research and practical experience. Methods. Theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the problem of developing socio-cultural competence and using pedagogical technologies, systematization and generalization of approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the educational process, comparative analysis of the potential of various technologies. Results. The components of socio-cultural competence are identified and the potential of various pedagogical technologies (project-based learning, case technologies, interactive methods, use of authentic materials, ICT, integrated approaches) in their formation is analyzed. Approaches to assessing the effectiveness of technologies are proposed taking into account the specifics of the competence components being formed. Conclusions. The effectiveness of pedagogical technologies in developing socio-cultural competence depends on an integrated approach, an adequate choice of methods in accordance with the goals, student body and available resources, as well as on a systematic assessment of the results. The greatest effect is achieved with the integration of various technologies.
