Abstract
<jats:p>The modern education system sets specific requirements for the personality of a future university graduate. In particular, a student should be able to manage their own time and create their own self-development path based on educational principles. Self-reflection is an important aspect of personal development. It reflects the brain's ability to observe its own thought processes, allows to realize the motivations its actions and to evaluating its own activity in order to make the necessary adjustments. Currently, many scientists are talking about the problem of information overload, which is caused by the digitalization of public life and leads to cognitive and regulatory disorders among young people. This work is devoted to the identification of possible means of developing self-reflection skills among university students in the process their mathematics education. An analysis and generalization of the literature on the topic under consideration lead to the conclusion that there is an insufficient representation in the educational space of methodological tools for developing self-reflection among university students. The pedagogical experiment revealed that the electronic self-observation diary developed based on the existing conclusion is an effective means of developing self-reflection skills among students studying mathematics. The organized scientific research has identified a number of issues that require further study.</jats:p>
