TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING RHETORICAL COMPETENCE IN FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS THROUGH HEURISTIC TEACHING METHODS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE “PEDAGOGICAL MASTERY” COURSE)

Abstract

This article discusses the issues of developing rhetorical competence in future primary school teachers based on heuristic teaching methodology. The role of rhetorical competence in pedagogical activity, its structural components, and the necessity of its formation are scientifically and theoretically substantiated. The study analyzes the essence of heuristic teaching methodology, its didactic possibilities, and the mechanisms for its application in the “Pedagogical Mastery” course. Furthermore, the stages of the technology for developing rhetorical competence (diagnostic, motivational, activity-based, and reflective) are revealed. The results of the study contribute to improving future teachers’ speech culture, pedagogical communication skills, and professional training.
