DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-EDUCATION SKILLS IN STUDENTS OF PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

The article considers the importance of developing self-education skills in students of pedagogical universities in the context of modern educational transformations. The authors emphasize the role of self-education activities as one of the key factors in the development of professional and pedagogical competence and personal autonomy of the future teacher. Particular attention is paid to rethinking the role of the teacher: from a simple translator of knowledge to a mediator and mentor who helps to activate metacognition and form a subjective position in students’ learning. Based on the analysis of the works of Russian researchers (S.I. Gessen, V.I. Dobrenkov, etc.) and the provisions of the Russian Pedagogical Encyclopedia, the article reveals the essence of self-education, describes its mechanisms and principles of organization in the university space. Practical aspects of integrating self-education methods into the educational process are considered, including microteaching, role-playing games and reflective tools. The importance of close cooperation between the teacher and the student is emphasized, creating conditions for independent cognitive activity and continuous professional development of the future teacher.
