Territory Development

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of self-education competence formation in the process of basic educational programs realization in the higher school and its further development in the process of professional activity realization in the sphere of public administration. Historical and modern interpretations of the concept “self-education” are considered. Particular attention is paid to the problems of internal and external motivation of students to self-education. The necessity of convergence of educational process and self-education, which requires a special scientific and methodological support, is substantiated. The accumulated global changes in all spheres of life, including professional activity, and the increasing dynamism of these changes require a fundamental modernization of the educational process, the use of mixed pedagogical technologies and the use of digital educational resources. Their focus on the formation of the ability to self-educate creates an opportunity for students to advance education and professional mobility in a changing world. This becomes an existential competence of a public civil servant and characterizes the level of his managerial maturity.
