Time management technology as a means of adapting a former school child to studying in a university

School education is different from university education. If at school students are under the care of parents and a team of teachers, then at university students face the need to independently organize their learning activities. This kind of change is embarrassing for many first-year students. This problem is associated with the low level of self-organization of first-year students. In addition to this, self-organization of students has its own character of manifestation in different groups of students. Based on the above, an urgent problem in pedagogical research is a qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of the level of self- organization of first-year students and the search for effective means to increase the level of self-organization of students. Thus, the problem of this study is to identify the existing level of self-organization among first-year students and recommend how to increase the level of self- organization. To diagnose the level of self-organization we used a diagnostic complex created by the author. According to the identified level and characteristics of self-organization, there are given recommendations for increasing the level and quality of self-organization of first- year students using time management techniques.An increase in the level of self-organization in the experimental group of students in educational activities was revealed. Consequently, the time management technology in the development of students’ organizational skills in educational activities is considered justified and effective self-management.
