Abstract
The article examines the peculiarities of communication among higher education students, identifies the main causes of communicative barriers in interpersonal interaction, and outlines strategies for overcoming them. It is demonstrated that communication becomes a means of fulfilling internal needs and social demands, facilitates the establishment of social relationships, promotes self-expression, and provides psychological support. Communicative barriers, as a specific type of psychological barriers, are defined as obstacles that arise in the process of transmitting information from the communicator to the recipient and may have a detrimental effect on interpersonal interaction processes. Such obstacles are a common phenomenon among students and arise in the course of interaction with their immediate social environment, including peers, the academic group as a whole, instructors, family members, and the media. Overcoming communicative barriers is regarded as a necessary condition for the development of communicative competence and the improvement of the quality of interpersonal interaction. Particular attention is currently being paid to the use of distance learning formats in the educational process, which significantly transform interactions among students as well as between students and instructors. Such formats may create specific communicative barriers, which necessitates their further examination and continued research. Based on the analysis, strategies for overcoming communicative barriers in interaction have been proposed. It is concluded that the elimination of communicative barriers contributes to the formation of a positive socio-psychological climate within the academic group, influences interpersonal relationships, and promotes personal development. A promising direction for further research is the empirical investigation of communicative barriers in the interaction of higher education students.
The purpose of the article is to provide a theoretical analysis of the peculiarities of communicative barriers in the interaction of higher education students and to identify strategies for overcoming them.
