Self-education in advanced training of university teachers // Pedagogical Review. 2025. Issue 1 (59). P. 74-84

The imperative of the development of the Russian Federation as a sovereign state requires a search for new breakthrough points in science, economics, public organization and education. In this context, a critical analysis of the traditional forms of organization of the education system and its individual areas becomes relevant. The purpose of the study is to attempt to substantiate a new understanding of self-education according to the essential characteristics of activity and to determine the possibility of including the format of guided self-education in educational practice, in particular, in advanced training of teachers of a technical university. The method of pedagogical experiment with a focus group of teachers of various specializations was used, in which the personal development of students preceded the aspects of the development of general professional. To ensure the format of selfeducation, students were provided with a choice of means of self-testing of personal characteristics, a database of information materials covering innovative methods and tools of teaching, conditions for autonomous work during a certain time period, forms of self-report and external assessment of results. A survey of students who completed the advanced training course showed that for most teachers the inclusion of the format of self-education in the process of conducting the course is expedient, especially in the context of the holistic nature of the research, educational and organizational activities of higher school teachers.
