Students’ Self-Directed Learning at Language University

The article is devoted to the problem of self-directed learning of students of Language University. Self-organization is an integral characteristic of personality development. The authors studied the components of self-organization: self-assessment, some personal qualities, etc. Some peculiarities of self-organization of Language University students were revealed with the standardized questionnaires and questionnaires based on self-assessment. It turned out that students with high cognitive capacity have insufficient level of self-organization, low cognitive activity. Self-organization is formed in the process of independent work and autonomous learning. The authors consider the problem of educational autonomy development of students while learning foreign languages as an interdisciplinary problem, as a subject area of linguopedagogics. The research also studied methodological strategies for learning new vocabulary. The development of learning style activity depends on certain personal qualities related to native traits. The research about self-directed leaning of students is the basis for the development of pedagogical activities with the aim of developing the optimal style of educational methods. The content of this research is both theoretical and practical; we are creating conditions for effective cognitive activity

La autoorganización es una característica integral del desarrollo de la personalidad. Los autores estudiaron los componentes de la autoorganización: autoevaluación, algunas cualidades personales, etc. Algunas peculiaridades de la autoorganización de los estudiantes de la Universidad de Idiomas se revelaron con los cuestionarios estandarizados y los cuestionarios basados en la autoevaluación. Resultó que los estudiantes con alta capacidad cognitiva tienen un nivel insuficiente de autoorganización, baja actividad cognitiva. La autoorganización se forma en el proceso de trabajo independiente y aprendizaje autónomo. Los autores consideran el problema del desarrollo de la autonomía educativa de los estudiantes mientras aprenden lenguas extranjeras como un problema interdisciplinario, como un área temática de la lingüopedagogía. La investigación también estudió estrategias metodológicas para aprender nuevo vocabulario. El desarrollo de la actividad del estilo de aprendizaje depende de ciertas cualidades personales relacionadas con los rasgos nativos. La investigación sobre la inclinación autodirigida de los estudiantes es la base para el desarrollo de actividades pedagógicas con el objetivo de desarrollar el estilo óptimo de métodos educativos. El contenido de esta investigación es tanto teórico como práctico; estamos creando las condiciones para una actividad cognitiva eficaz
