Abstract

The article deals with a problem of organization of self-guided work of students to master their skills of independent practical activities. The introduction of Federal State Educational Standards (FGOS) for universities in Russia emphasizes the importance of self-guided work of students, putting it at the heart of the educational process. The normative documents regulating the educational process emphasize the importance of students’ active work, assuming that students can find answers to questions on their own. Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, the authors come to the conclusion that the concept of “self-guided work” is revealed from different sides, but researchers agree that it is one of the types of educational and cognitive activity that directs students to self-development, educational and vocational training. The authors agree that training professional practical skills is the process that contributes to the preparation for future profession.
