The study covers the problems of pedagogical technologies and their experimental implementation in the learning process. The theoretical aspects of the "student-teacher" interaction are investigated. A structural and functional model of pedagogical interaction is offered, which determines the conditions for improving pedagogical interaction in the educational process: resolving learning situations during the interaction of teachers and students; organizing interaction by combining active teaching techniques that are related to professional activity; focusing members of the pedagogical process on personal interaction and coordinating the roles of interacting persons. Monitoring and diagnostic techniques are suggested for verifying the effectiveness of the model. The paper presents the results of the study of pedagogical interaction and gives recommendations regarding its improvement.
