ORGANIZATION OF STUDENTS’ PROJECT ACTIVITIES AS A CONDITION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL AND COGNITIVE INDEPENDENCE

Abstract

At this time of development, knowledge is a source of success for a person and determines the value of the individual for society. To increase the intellectual level of a specialist, it is necessary to develop oneself throughout life. After completing the education, a person must have self-education skills in order to further develop and improve themself. In this regard, the priority tasks of higher education institutions are to train a competent, independent specialist who is ready to fully immerse himself in professional activities in a rapidly changing information reality, and to develop the skills of organizing, implementing and self-monitoring independent cognitive activities. The article is dedicated to the organization of project-based learning as a learning technology aimed at the gradual development of components of educational and undergraduate students’ cognitive independence.
