Abstract
The study examines the use of intelligent educational technologies to support independent learning among university students. Attention is paid to what digital tools students use, how actively they use them in the learning process, and how much this contributes to their academic autonomy. The study was conducted among students from various faculties of M. Utemisov West Kazakhstan University. Data collection methods were used to determine students' preferences in using digital educational technologies and their perception of the effectiveness of these tools for independent learning. The results showed that students actively use digital technologies to search for information, complete educational assignments, and communicate with teachers and other students in a group. However, it was found that not all students are aware of the potential of digital educational tools for independent organization of the educational process, and many use them only as required by teachers. The interview results also showed that students increasingly rely on collaborative forms of work with digital technologies, such as online discussions, group projects, and collaborative editing of documents, while individual work with digital resources often remains limited. This highlights theneed not only to improve students digital literacy, but also to develop their skills in independently managing educational activities using digital tools. Thus, the study confirms that in order to improve the effectiveness of students' independent learning, it is necessary not only to expand access to digital resources, but also to develop students' skills in using them consciously and purposefully for educational purposes.
