Journal Title: Вісник Житомирського державного університету імені Івана Франка - Year 2018, Vol 93, Issue 2
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of organization of students' independent extracurricular work in the USA. An important direction for Ukrainian higher education modernization is its compliance to the requirements of world educational standards. Nowadays improving the organization of independent student learning activities is given high scientific priority. That’s why, it is recommended to use the results of comparative and pedagogical studies of training specialists in foreign countries. In American universities great importance is given to the organization of independent work of students. The aim of research is to analyze some aspects of the organization of independent extracurricular work of students in the United States. One of the essential features of the organization of extracurricular work of US students is the tutor presence. Counseling is considered a necessary structural element of interaction between teacher and students; it is an important condition for ensuring effective independent work. Blended education is called the new norm of higher education teaching; it is the combination of traditional (face-to-face) and virtual components of teaching. Blended education is considered the dominant strategy for higher educational institutions in the United States. It is a teaching method that is not limited by temporal, spatial and situational barriers; blended education provides high quality interaction between teachers and students. So, the undoubted advantage of American higher education is its extraordinary flexibility in methods, forms and teaching styles. The prominent place is occupied by methods that allow taking into account the individual characteristics of students, stimulating their cognitive activity and providing development of creative abilities. The current state of teaching students in the USA is characterized by the use of numerous online programs for independent work, a flexible system of educational process organization, the use of new methods and forms for independent work organization. The application of the American higher education pedagogy experience can become an element of the educational reforms that are taking place in Ukraine today.
