Using information technologies in formation of intercultural communicative competence of primary school students

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to present the results of the study of the competence of intercultural communication as a predictor of effective intercultural interaction. The mechanism of achieving this effect is currently insufficiently studied. About 200 students of Kazakhstani universities aged from 18 to 23 years old took part in the study. Being a teaching profession, 90 % were women. Methods such as an integrative questionnaire of intercultural communication competencies, a scale of anxiety between U. Stefan's groups, measurement of attributive confidence and predictability, self-assessment of the effectiveness of intercultural communication and the desire to interact with a partner of another culture were used. All scales have been modified for research purposes. Verification of the theoretical model was carried out by analysis. In intercultural communication, an integrative model of the components of intercultural competence is built, which significantly affects the features of interaction with a partner and self-assessment of its effectiveness. It also shows the influence of factors of intercultural competence, such as “intercultural interest” and “intercultural stability”, on the perceived effectiveness of relations with an intercultural partner and the desire to interact with him, mediated by anxiety between groups and the predictability of intercultural relations.
