The paper discusses the use of distance learning technologies in the University of Physical Culture for students, who are active sportsmen and having an individual training schedule. The author discusses the features of independent work of students in distance learning and active methods of control.

Effective educational process requires clear and precise vision either of its social background and development tendencies or of the student as its subject. Contemporary university students differ greatly from those ones involved in similar training 20-30 years ago. Therefore, the above-mentioned fact could be viewed as one of the most effective resources in finding the way to more efficient education. So we addressed to the theory of generations by Neil Howe and William Strauss described in the Fourth Turning theory. In this article the theory of generations is shortly presented. More than that, the article also portrays psychological features of today students as representatives of Y and Z generations. At the same time it presents practical approach to considering these features in the educational process of teaching English at engineering departments in Petrozavodsk State University.

The training of highly qualified specialists has always been a priority for higher education. In modern conditions, university graduates should have a wide range of professional competences. The acquisition of professional competences by students should not be limited to classroom studies at the university. It should include an independent study of disciplines to obtain deeper knowledge, independent search for information and analysis of the material found, a creative approach to solving tasks, issues of time organization and interest in professional growth. The correct organization of independent work of students (IWS) by teachers of higher education requires the creation of pedagogical conditions by the university. For the organization of IWS, the use of distance learning technologies (DLT) is no longer an innovation and the effectiveness of DLT use in various areas of the university practice has been studied for a long time. At the moment, the use of DLT to organize IWS during practical training is an urgent task. The federal state standard (FSS) 3 ++ requires that, according to the results of educational practice, the student must obtain certain skills and competences, and the time for practice is limited. The purpose of this article is to identify and systematize pedagogical conditions for organizing students' independent work with the use of distance learning technologies to increase the effectiveness of practical training. Research Methods: theoretical analysis of the organization of students' independent work with the use of distance educational technologies; diagnostic methods (observation, conversation, questioning, and analysis). Based on the analysis of the literature and the reflection of their own experience, the authors obtained the following results: pedagogical conditions for the effective organization of independent work of students specializing in the area of training 11.03.02 "Information and communication technologies and communication systems" (ITCS) during practical training have been identified and characterized. Measures have also been developed for the implementation of the considered pedagogical conditions. The theoretical significance of the study is due to examination of the pedagogical conditions for the organization of IWS using DLT. The practical significance of the study consists of the research materials which can be used in the organization of educational practice of students specializing in the area 11.03.02 ITCS. The worked out recommendation promotes the targeted development of the three main components of the teacher’s readiness (the head of the educational practice) for the organization of IWS with the use of DLT during educational practice: motivational, methodological and technological, and also makes it possible to use this experience for the organization of IWS using DLT during practical training of students specializing in other areas. The novelty of the work is the justification of pedagogical conditions under which the use of DLT in the organization of students' independent work during the practical training allows us to increase the efficiency of acquiring the necessary competences due to the clarity, accessibility and systematic presentation of the necessary material, succession of individual tasks, and teaching students to use their time efficiently.

The article is devoted to the introduction of modern information technologies into the educational process of a military University; improving the quality of training of military pilots in order to introduce new technological means into the educational process. Information training of cadets in the UNIVERSITY should provide the future military pilot with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of computer science and information technology, allowing to effectively solve military-professional problems with the use of computer technology, to focus on the main directions of development of modern military weapons and equipment.
