INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES EFFECTIVE USE AND OTHER PROBLEMS OF IMPROVING THE PREPARATION OF HIGH QUALIFIED PERSONS IN THE POST-GRADUATE STUDY

Actual problems and possible ways of their solution in the field of development of programs of preparation of scientific and scientific-pedagogical staff of the top qualification in postgraduate study are considered in the article. The possibilities of using new information technologies for solving such problems are discussed. The experience of a number of foreign countries on the development and informatization of Ph.D.-doctoral training systems is described and taken into account. The solution of the above problems could be facilitated by a closer linking of postgraduate studies to the process of preparing a Ph.D. thesis, while updating the content of such training and introducing the newest means of informing education. In many countries, the defence of Ph.D. theses is impossible without the completion of a twoor three-year doctoral studies. The large-scale and comprehensive use of information technologies should expand not only the content base for the training of researchers, but also enable graduate students to make greater use of the potential for distance learning and self-study that is essential for motivated learners. The use of remote technologies will allow to level differences between different forms of obtaining education in graduate school, and also to involve in this training a greater number of Russian and foreign students.
