Abstract:In this paper, we define pedagogical conditions for the formation of common cultural competences of engineering undergraduates, focus on the importance and the role of independent work of students, and describe the experience of organizing the independent work using the developed methodological support.Currently, the system of higher education undergoes a dramatic change of paradigms. A few years ago university graduates were expected to master a profession that would get them into employment and make a career in the chosen field. Today, the requirements for bachelor graduates have changed. They are expected to develop competences for further self-education and professional adaptation. Therefore, bachelor training at university has to be adjusted to the new requirements and imply a shift in educational technology focusing on the development of students' creative abilities, formation of general cultural competences and professional qualities to meet the demands of the labor market in the economy of innovation.University training of future engineers requires new innovative approaches to education aimed at meeting the quality evaluation criteria, organization of the Жуковская Татьяна Владимировна -кандидат физико-математических наук, доцент кафедры «Высшая математика»; Щербакова Антонина Васильевна -кандидат педагогиче-ских наук, доцент кафедры «Высшая математика»; Молоканова Елена

The purpose of the study is to determine the degree to which active teaching methods influence the music education of modern children based on theoretical background and empirical and experimental studies at Russian experiences. In this study, document analysis technique, one of the qualitative research techniques, was used (citiations). Research on active music education were determined and examined. Within the scope of this research, articles and books related to active music education were selected. These articles were analyzed thematically and reported. When the articles about active music education were examined, they were discussed under two thematic titles. These; Using Methods on Active Music Teaching and Implementation of Active Music Teaching at Class, Game-based Instruction at Active Music Teaching, Assessment of Music Lesson. As a results of study; due to the age and the features of information perception, modern children master music better if one develops the skill of problem statement, finding the ways of solving the problem and its actual solution, when the student is an active participant in the education process, turning from an object of influence into a subject of the learning and creative activity. During experimental work, the authors identify the effect from applying specially developed and described in the article active methods and forms of working with children during music lessons. The results of the experiment prove that active methods of teaching music form a positive learning motivation, increase cognitive activity in students, promote independent study and the understanding of large amounts of educational information, foster heuristic abilities and unconventional thinking as well as universal learning and creative skills and abilities.
