Abstract

Among the priority tasks of today’s higher education is preparing specialists capable of independent research, accumulation and application of knowledge. The article considers self-study as key element of education and cognitive activities of future officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and examines the organization of self-study in the context of mastering a foreign language with the use of the learning management system Moodle. It has been established that applying new methods and techniques, alongside other forms of self-study, selecting and designing more suitable activities for cadets during independent training as well as integrating the learning management system Moodle enhances the overall process of learning a foreign language and increases the overall productivity. Introducing the LMS Moodle into self-study while mastering a foreign language in military higher education institutions contributes to acquiring essential skills, namely, obtaining the necessary information, analyzing professionally oriented foreign language texts, assessing and applying available information to accomplish missions and communicating in a foreign language. Conducted research shows that cadets’ engagement in self-study improves if the course is methodically designed to create a holistic educational information environment. "Pedagogy of social constructivism" which underlies the philosophy of the Moodle learning management system enables the effective organization of interactions which is crucial in acquiring competency in a foreign language. Moodle facilitates the design and development of courses adapted to the specifics of a particular discipline, considering the requirements of the teacher and the needs of the cadets, who, with the help of this platform, are able to build a comfortable learning trajectory.
