Students’ Readiness for Independent Work through Distance Educational Technologies: Theoretical and Methodological Aspect

Abstract:

The article examines the issues of students’ readiness for independent work in the higher education system. The necessity of using distance learning technologies for the effective organization of students’ independent work is justified. The concept "independent work", its goals, tasks, and types are considered. The problem of students’ independent work is actively studied in the framework of training future specialists in the higher education system. The use of distance learning technologies significantly expands the scope of the teacher's authority in organizing independent work. The article considers the functions of a teacher as an organizer in the context of supporting and accompanying students in performing independent work. Through the use of distance learning technologies, the teacher qualitatively changes the content, methods and organizational forms of training, intensifies and individualizes the students’ independent work.
