Abstract

The article examines the institutional, regulatory, and conceptual foundations for the introduction of

independent student work within the higher education system of Uzbekistan. Particular emphasis is

placed on its role in developing the professional competence of technical university students. It is

shown that independent work is not a supplementary form of learning, but a key tool for fostering

profession-oriented skills such as responsibility, critical thinking, self-organization, and the ability to

apply knowledge in uncertain real-life conditions. The article concludes that the adoption of

independent work practices is closely linked to the integration of national education into the Bologna

Process and the ECTS system, which emphasize student-centered and outcome-based learning.
