DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2026-1-92-102
The strategic direction for the development of the modern higher education system in Russia is to train highly qualified future specialists who are capable of making independent decisions, critically analyzing professional and educational realities, and rationally using various resource and information bases in order to increase their personal competitiveness in the labor market. In the context of digitalization and rapid changes in the educational environment, it is particularly important to develop students’ ability to self-educate, self-monitor, self-assess, and self-develop. The subject of the study is students’ readiness for independent work, as well as the identification of the characteristics of its formation and development in various pedagogical conditions. The article reveals the theoretical and methodological foundations of the concept of readiness for independent work and considers the approaches of domestic and foreign researchers to its structural components. The results of the implementation of innovative educational technologies that promote the development of students’ independence are presented, including project and research activities, problem-based learning, and the use of digital educational resources. Particular attention is paid to the potential of benchmarking technology as a modern tool for pedagogical interaction, ensuring the development of students’ skills in analyzing, comparing, and adapting best practices. The monitoring results demonstrated that the application of benchmarking technology in the educational process has a comprehensive impact on student personal development and improves the quality of educational outcomes. This technology not only contributes to increasing students’ readiness for independent work, but also to the formation of sustainable internal motivation to learn, a desire for self-development, and professional self-improvement. During the application of benchmarking, students demonstrate the development of analytical, critical, and reflective thinking, as well as the ability to make informed choices about the most appropriate ways to solve academic and professional tasks. In this way, benchmarking technology is an innovative approach that facilitates the transition of higher education to a model of active, conscious, and independent learning focused on results, the practical significance of knowledge, and increasing the competitiveness of future specialists.
