Abstract
The presented article examines the relationship between the formation of self– organization skills of a future teacher and independent work organized in organizations of higher and (or) postgraduate education (hereinafter - OVPO). To do this, the following tasks were performed in the study, namely: the content of the concepts of "self-organization" and "independent work of students" is described; their connection in the process of training future teachers is revealed. Independent work is characterized as one of the most important components of the pedagogical process of OVPO. The article emphasizes that when organizing independent work, the need for attention to the age characteristics of students is taken into account. The importance of independent work in the preparation of future teachers has been determined, which has a significant impact on the formation of qualities necessary for selforganization, mastering the culture of intellectual work, skills of independent assimilation of new knowledge. A survey of students of 2-4 courses of the Pedagogical Faculty of Karaganda University named after academician E.A. Buketov was conducted and their results are presented. The survey results allow us to observe positive dynamics in the formation of self-organization of educational activities among students, which means that this, in turn, indicates the formation of selforganization skills.
