According to V. Bondar, T. Mieer, the semantic field of the concept of "self-
studying" is a little broader and includes the semantic field of the concept of
"educational activity". As an example, we present such interpretations. Studying is:
"Students' independent activity in designing them all its components, realized at the
level of self-regulation" (V. Bondar) [14, p. 76]; "Conscious, purposeful and
independent activity of the student, which is accompanied by direct or indirect
interaction with others, is aimed at mastering the knowledge, ways of action and the
formation of experience in organizing their own activities" (T. Miier) [15, p. 365].
And studying as an independent, conscious and purposeful activity of students,
aimed at mastering knowledge, methods of action and forming the experience of
organizing their own activities, and educational activity as an activity aimed at
achieving the goal, based on the independent performance of those who learn, actions
and operations, is a compulsory component of teaching and learning activities,
respectively.
The aforesaid reflected in the interpretations of the notion of "learning" ("the
appropriation of social experience by the subject of education in the conditions of self-
exclusion in educational activities, and organized by a teacher" (V. Bondar) [14, p. 76];
"the relationship of the teacher's activities (teaching) and the activity of students
(learning), aimed at assimilating all components of the content of education "(N.
Moiseyuk) [16, p. 641]," learning as one of human activity consists of two interrelated
processes - teaching and learning "(M. Fitsula) [17, p. 78]) and the notion of"
educational activity "(" ts focused and ordered set of actions, techniques and operations
that provide motivational and active inclusion of subjects in the organized adult
educational process (V. Bondar) [18, p. 535]).
In the process of joint activity of the learner and the one who teaches, "there is a
transition from the forms of external activity, distributed between them, to the activity
of the individual (internal), in which the formation of new forms - knowledge, skills,
motives, installations, etc." [18, p. 535].
CONCLUSION
On the basis of comparison, the ability to study with the ability to study in the
system of continuous education "we distinguish:
- the common between the abilities: 1) relate to productive skills, that is,
underlying the acquisition of knowledge and methods of action; 2) are built on the basis
of the creative use of those who learn, the knowledge and skills available to him to
carry out actions in the changed conditions;
- different features: 1) the ability to study is listed in key competencies, and the
ability to study in the system of continuing education – to generalized skills that are
distinguished by the flexibility of transferring to new circumstances and the focus on
