| Annotation: | The relevance of social interaction in engineering education is determined by fundamental changes in the nature of engineering activities and the challenges of digital transformation. Developing social interaction competencies has ceased to be an additional option and is becoming an integral component of high-quality professional training. The aim of this study is to theoretically substantiate a model for developing social interaction competencies in engineering students through collaborative activities within the educational process. This study utilizes a systematic and comprehensive approach to analyze trends in the development of social interaction competencies in higher education. To ensure the completeness and comprehensiveness of the study, a content analysis of scientific publications, methodological literature, and regulatory documents is used. The scientific novelty of the study lies in its in-depth analysis and clarification of theoretical propositions that explain the phenomenon of social interaction competence in technical education. The study allowed us to clarify the concept of social interaction competency. A set of pedagogical conditions for its development and factors determining the effectiveness of communication processes in study groups were analyzed. It was established that fostering social interaction among students is not only a pedagogical strategy but also a key focus in the modern educational process. The results of this study have practical significance because they can be integrated into modern educational programs and methods, thereby facilitating the development of professional skills in future engineers. | ||
