Innovative approach to teaching assumes the use of interactive methods and techniques not only for organizing the training process but also for controlling students' knowledge. Thus, the problem of finding and describing interactive, the most efficient students' knowledge control methods arises. The article focuses on various interactive students' knowledge control methods; analyses their opportunities on the basis of teachers' and the students' activity analysis and the mechanism of their interaction; actualization of students' motivational sphere and their need for self-rating and estimation. Intellectual game is reasoned as one of efficient students' knowledge control methods. The technique of using intellectual games for students' knowledge control that is based on the contextual principle, the principle of interlocution and reflexivity is described. The set of rules and the procedures containing a complex of methods which provide the logic of phases for carrying out intellectual games is stated. The elaborated methodology of students' knowledge control is offered for "interactive" students' knowledge control which is conceptually based on creative potential of students, development of their cognitive abilities, and formation of their abilities for auto analysis and self-rating and estimation. The value of the offered methodology consists in its application that gives the chance to carry out both training, and assessment of knowledge at different stages of the current, intermediate and total control on the unified basis while studying different disciplines.

Purpose of the study. In modern society, the education system is undergoing global changes, both technical and methodological. What affects the organization of school education, the manifestation of social difficulties, such as overcrowded classes, lack of staff in schools, dif-ficulties for children to follow patterns in the learning process or program changes. More and more parents are transferring their children to home schooling. If a few years ago scientists con-sidered this direction of education as an alternative to public and private schools, now this direc-tion borders on the “mainstream” in educational practice both in Russia and abroad, especially in the USA, where it perhaps the fastest growing form of education (from 2% to 8% per year over the past few years). In different countries, various forms of home education, their own specifics and local laws regulate this format of education. In Russia, the Federal Law “On Education” of 1992 approved the choice for schoolchildren to study at school or outside its walls, and the Con-stitutional Court of the Russian Federation in 2000 guaranteed the availability of this form of education. It is envisaged to receive general education in full-time/part-time forms or extramural studies, as well as outside organizations engaged in educational activities. A combination of vari-ous forms of education and forms of training is allowed. The purpose of the presented work is to analyze the state of the problem of home education in pedagogical theory and practice.Materials and research methods. The basis of the study was foreign and domestic scien-tific and methodological literature, reflecting the historical analysis of the development of home education in Russia and abroad, as well as reflecting the modern formation of the essence of the concept of “home education”. When studying these sources on the problem under consideration, methods of theoretical analysis and synthesis, their abstraction and concretization were used.The methodological basis of the study was the historical and integrated approaches as the most important for understanding the essence and content of home education, identifying specif-ic forms of its implementation and common theoretical and methodological provisions for the identified forms.Results. As a result of the study, the historical aspect of the formation of the concept of “homeschooling” was studied and its wording was clarified, the differences between this con-cept and the concepts of “homeschooling”, “family education” and “distance learning” were re-vealed, and the characteristics of types of homeschooling were disclosed.Conclusion. The theoretical analysis carried out and the conclusions of the study on the problem under consideration can be used in scientific and pedagogical activities when consider-ing the organization of homeschooling. The general and distinctive features of the forms of home education are singled out, as well as the theoretical and methodological provisions of any of the forms of home education are presented.

Education 4.0 is a conceptually new approach to learning that meets the challenges of the digital revolution, aimed at transforming the future of education with the help of advanced technologies and automation. To integrate into the new digital space, it is necessary to revise the traditional educational paradigms with a futuristic approach. Students should acquire the skills necessary in the era of a dynamically changing technological environment. In this context, the article considers the main directions of digital transformation of education, namely, the modification and integration of traditional models of education. Also, within the framework of the study, the mechanisms of introducing digital technologies into the educational process were isolated, using the example of the Branch of the State budgetary educational institution of Higher Education «Stavropol State Pedagogical Institute»
