Abstract

Abstract. Higher education is one of the determinative factors that have an influence on a person’s professional development. The formation of students’ self-educational competence will promote the quality of future professionals’ training in the context of educational globalization and increase their competitiveness in the labour market. An independent work is one of the forms of self-educational activity. Pharmaceutical students of medical institutions of higher education of the IV^th level of accreditation learn biophysics during the first year of study. An independent work is the main part of the studying load for the students of Faculty of Pharmacy of part-time training. The control work in academic discipline plays an important role in the general system of organization of students’ independent work of the part-time training. To do the control work, the part-time training students study independently the theoretical material, located on the university website. The amount of information in discipline located on the university website is optimized and adapted for part-time training students. Future pharmacists must acquire basic knowledge for the block of disciplines that provide professional and practical training during the discipline learning. The formation of skills to work independently with educational literature is necessary to do the control work. To increase the efficiency of independent work and to help part-time training students in the doing the control work, variants of control tasks in biophysics have been developed. The tasks of the control work are organized so that not only allow objectively check the level of students’ knowledge, but also to intensify their cognitive activity, to ensure the review of previously acquired knowledge, to apply the skills and abilities for active perception of new material.
