SCIENTIFIC SUBSTANTIATION OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE DIDACTIC PRINCIPLE OF SELF-CONTROL AS FUNDAMENTAL IN THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The fact that independence in teaching students directly affects their self-realization has been recognized for a long time. This is a conceptual idea that acquires fundamental importance in education, which, in turn, entails the need to introduce the principle of self-control and self-assessment into didactics, which has essential, normative and procedural functions that allow assessing the real formation of students’ independence as their fundamental professional competence. The paper substantiates the necessity of introducing the principle of self-control and self-assessment into modern didactics for a comprehensive pedagogical system encompassing personality-oriented developmental learning and a competence-based approach, which is the basis for the methodology and technology of implementing this principle in the modern educational process of higher education. All this characterizes the relevance of the research topic, since the introduction of the scientifically-based principle of self-control and self-assessment into the didactics allows to apply the methodology and technology for the formation of self-control and self-assessment of students as the fundamental professional competence of any specialist. The functions of the didactic principle of self-control presented in the work are common to any academic subject. At the same time, when using them for a specific academic subject, the teacher needs to consider them taking into account the specifics of the subject.
