Abstract

The current stage of development of society is characterized by the development of scientific and technological progress, the emergence of various innovative processes that affect the course of development of all spheres of life, including higher education. With the emergence of a competency-based approach and a corresponding change in educational goals, higher education institutions, fulfilling the requirements of the Federal state educational standards, should use innovative educational technologies in the preparation of students to form their professional competence. The purpose of the article is to consider the experience of implementing educational technologies as a tool for developing students' independence. The independence of the student is an integral part of the development of his competence. The article presents an examination of the concepts of “independence” and “educational technology” from various points of view. The dependence of independence on the use of innovative educational technologies in the educational process is traced. The stages of the process of organizing students' independent work using innovative educational technologies are highlighted. The presented study on identifying students' level of independence when studying the discipline “Teaching Technologies of the Teachers of the Past” allows us to conclude that students are more successful with the active implementation of educational technologies, since they make the process more active and creative, make the interaction process more efficient. The study was conducted over two years (in 2018 and 2019). We checked the level of independence of students before the introduction of innovative technologies in the study of the discipline "Technology of teaching teachers of the past" and after. The more often educational technologies are used in the educational process, the more students get used to independent work, the better it becomes. The use of educational technologies allows the formation of a highly educated competent specialist who independently and creatively solves professional problems.

Highlights

The global goals of reforming the sphere of higher education are the formation of an independent competent graduate capable of implementing professional activities at a high level
The percentage of students with a high level of independence became higher by 10%, the average level increased by 5%, students with a low level of independence became much smaller
The process of organizing independent work of students using innovative educational technologies takes place in several stages: preparatory; the second stage-the main, involves the direct implementation of the program, the use of methods of search and selection of relevant information, its assimilation and processing, the use of knowledge, fixing the results; the final stage includes the assessment of the significance of the results, reflection

Summary

Introduction

The global goals of reforming the sphere of higher education are the formation of an independent competent graduate capable of implementing professional activities at a high level. Educational technology allows you to build the learning process as a set of external and internal actions based on certain principles, where the personality of the student as a future teacher manifests itself (Rakhimbaeva et al, 2019). Among the characteristics of educational technologies can be identified: the subordination of pedagogical actions to a certain algorithm; focus on the formation of competencies; the presence of a system of interrelated principles; counseling role of the teacher in the implementation of a particular technology in the educational process. To organize successful independent work, electronic educational systems are actively used. In the organization of independent work of students, the Moodle electronic educational platform plays an important role as a means by which students can interact at a given distance
