Traditions and Innovations in Self-Dependent Student Learning

Traditional approaches and teaching methods, like traditional universities, retain priority in areas of fundamental and prestigious education, while combining most of the known methods of work, both in analog and digital (virtual) environments. Self-dependent learning is most effective in a sessional combination of a stationary classical type and online self-dependent learning, which are not mutually exclusive. At the same time, innovative approaches are mainly developed for the second segment and mainly in its technological part, providing remote access, expanding content and improving control tools. The real effectiveness of remote self-dependent online learning, in contrast to classical university learning, is not yet clarified due to the lack of generally accepted evaluation criteria. Thus, innovative approaches in self-dependent student learning are implemented primarily in the field of technological (software and hardware) support for the educational process, including the involvement of artificial intelligence, while pedagogical innovations are relevant and still require scientific justification.
