RECOGNITION OF PECULIARITIES OF THE CONTINENT OF PART TIME STUDENTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE ACTIVITY AT LEARNING TO FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Introduction. In the article the authors tackle the problem of identifying the features of the contingent of students of the extramural form of studies and identifying their motives for learning a foreign language. The main task of the higher education system in the Russian Federation is training of competent specialists ready for continuous professional education and professional mobility. The extramural form of education in higher educational institutions is one of the main forms of continuing education, which is currently considered as an effective, open and democratic form of vocational education. The problem of development of cognitive activity in modern education is considered together with the problem of personal growth, the success of students in learning, achievement and independence in a variety of activities. Cognitive activity is revealed through the motivation of a person to learn something new or unusual, which requires extra work and effort to add this information to the original database in long-term memory., The authors understand the term “foreign language cognitive activity” as the students' awareness of the consistent implementation of the hierarchy of short-term, medium and long-term goals for professional development.

Materials and methods. The authors analyzed the set of first-year students in extramural department, since the study of a foreign language begins in the first year of higher educational institutions, they analyzed their age characteristics, as well as their motivation to enter  the university. The study was conducted on the basis of the Faculty of Management and Social and Technical Services of Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University named after K. Minin. The study involved students enrolled in the 1st course in the areas of "Management" and "Tourism". The methods of investigation were determined by the tasks of the problem being solved. We used empirical methods (observation, questioning); statistical methods (qualitative and quantitative analysis of results).

Results of the study. The conducted research made it possible to identify the following features of the contingent of extramural students in the faculty of management and social and technical services in the areas of "Management" and "Tourism": diverse set; age differences; sustainable motivation.

Discussion and conclusions. The extramural form of training is a flexible system of training that allows a person to acquire knowledge whenever and wherever he wants. Therefore, their self-study should not be passive. The student should conduct active cognitive activity and learn to apply the received knowledge in practice.
