Abstract

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the effectiveness of organising graduate students’ independent work in the university e-learning environment in the frame of an author’s e-learning course for the discipline “Business Foreign Language in Professional Activity” on the LMS Moodle platform to develop their self-education skill. The paper provides insight into the notion of “self-education skill”, which is a necessary competence in graduate students’ educational activity within the implementation of their independent work in the e-learning course for the discipline “Business Foreign Language in Professional Activity” on the LMS Moodle platform; describes the stages and organisation of graduate students’ independent work in the said e-learning course; identifies the levels of self-education skill formation among the students. Scientific novelty of the study lies in introducing new digital technologies into the educational process of higher education, i.e. the author’s e-learning course for the discipline “Business Foreign Language in Professional Activity” on the LMS Moodle platform and a Coursera massive open online course integrated into the author’s e-learning course for the implementation of graduate students’ effective independent work in order to form their self-education skill. The results of the study are as follows: the researchers have shed light on the notion of “self-education skill”, which is a key competence in the modern world; have created the author’s e-learning course for the discipline “Business Foreign Language in Professional Activity” on the LMS Moodle platform, within the frame of which graduate students’ independent work was implemented; have organised students’ independent work in the said e-learning course; have described the stages of graduate students’ independent work in the e-learning course.
