The urgency of the investigated problem lies in the fact that the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education and the professional standard of a specialist in the field of journalism at the present stage of teaching prescribe mastery of theoretical and practical parts for university students. Meanwhile, the disciplines related to mastering the theoretical part are developed quite well, and the issues of organizing practice and independent work are solved by universities on an individual basis. Thus, universities geographically distant from megacities, when organizing educational practical work, face the problem of the lack of opportunities for students’ independent work due to the limited airtime allocated by regional media. Due to these circumstances, there is a need to work out practical recommendations for the organization of independent work of students whose area of training is 42.03.02 "Journalism". Thus, the purpose of the article is to analyze the organization of independent work of students in the areas of creative orientation. The study of the problem of organizing students’ independent work was carried out by analyzing the scientific literature in this field, as well as using the methods of interviewing and questioning students for the relevance of the independent work forms used by university teachers. As a result, it was revealed that the time restrictions determined by the curriculum do not allow students to develop sustainable professional skills in the creative areas of training. Students must gain the necessary knowledge and practical skills for professional activity themselves. Academic staff of universities successfully solves questions of theoretical education, but at the same time does not allow students to immerse themselves in the "full-length" process of journalist work because pedagogical theorists are not, as a rule, professional journalists, that is, they have no practical experience. Available practical and methodological manuals do not always meet the requirements of the rapidly developing creative profession as well. Hence, the main forms of independent work of students are determined, which will be aimed at the formation of professional competences of future journalists. Materials of the article may be interesting for the academic staff of universities, teachers of educational institutions, teachers of elective courses in journalism.

The paper examines the features of teaching web-programming at the university on the example of the phased teaching of programming in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, the basics of working in PHP, MySQL, and the role of the project work of students in the form of developing their own websites.

The development of full-time schools in the Federal Republic of Germany is associated with a qualitative restructuring of the general education system. So, in 2002, a boom in the development of full-time education began, which manifested itself in the mass restructuring of schoolchildren training organization principles. Hamburg became the pioneering land in the development of full-day schools, where in the mid-2000s, all secondary schools (including district schools and gymnasiums) became full-time schools. One of the key principles in the functioning of full-time schools is project work, which provides flexible educational trajectories and the rejection of traditional homework. In recent years, there has been a steady trend in the development of media and information education, which is associated with the formation of media competences, which in turn ensure the achievement of meta-subject results, such as soft- and self-competences. The article discusses key positions in the field of modern study of full-time schools in both German and Russian scientific discourses. The current legislation in the field of media and digital literacy is analyzed. Also, an important focus is the critical understanding of the practice of implementing the full-time education model through the prism of perception of students, as well as teachers and heads of educational organizations. The aim of the article is to analyze the positive experience of full-time schools in Hamburg as the land, where this form is the only one. In addition, the article pays considerable attention to the organization of project activities, in particular the media educational activities of schoolchildren. The key result of the article is the described mechanics of organizing project work in full-time schools in Germany, the peculiarities of implementing media educational projects, and directions for disseminating this experience on domestic soil. In particular, these methods can also be applied in the higher education sector as a part of student project activities development in the framework of media education both specialized and integrated into other areas. The theoretical significance is represented by a review of the scientific literature on the research topic, and proposal of the author’s definition of the term “full-time school”; practical significance is represented by the empirical material analyzed in the study, which gives an idea of the practice of implementing media educational projects in various full-time schools in Germany.

The article considers the ways of organizing project-technological practice for students of Master’s programme “Teacher Education”.
