The article shows the results of a study of university students' opinions about independent work in the area of distance education during martial law in the country. The basis of the study is a questionnaire designed to identify students' opinions and attitudes towards independent work as an individual research form of educational activity. The basis for the research and development of the questionnaire is the scientific and educational principles of the concept "independent work". We have found out that this definition is understood by most scholars as a cognitive activity aimed at self-education and achievement of personally significant goals, is based on independence as a personality trait, and contributes to the formation of self-education skills. However, modern students do not always interpret independent work as an individual research educational activity. The questionnaire focused the respondents' attention on the relevance of independent work and emphasised the importance of this component in distance learning while encouraging students to analyse their own preferences and choose qualities that are important for personal motivation. In addition to the research work, the questionnaire provided an educational goal and self-improvement in terms of understanding the need for independent work as a personal value-oriented activity of the student. To analyse the results, conventional levels were used: high-level choices show an understanding of the relevance and importance of the proposed types of independent work; medium-level choices determine the prospect of strengthening motivation for independent work; low-level choices show the need to develop students' motivation for independent work, to form the need for individual independent work. The analysis of the questionnaire results confirmed the predicted tendency: students more or less understand the essence and importance of independent work and have not thought about this aspect in terms of themselves. Thus, the analysis of students' opinions revealed the need to update distance learning methods in order to stimulate students' motivation to work independently to help them acquire professional competences in the higher education system.

The paper explores the distinctive features of the study related to the specific representation of the emotion concepts. Several well-known approaches to the analysis of concepts based on the implementation of different research material are highlighted. The paper proposes a comprehensive methodology for the study and analysis of the linguacultural emotion concept of HAPPINESS, its artistic dynamics, based on the principles of integration of various scientific methods. The study enabled us to carry out a multifold description of the analyzed linguistic expression of the concept and to identify the specific features of the concepts in the English artistic discourse as well as in the Ukrainian translations. The complex and systematic approach to the study of an emotional concept is justified to serve as a characteristic feature of this methodology that attempts to identify textual functioning, structural features, emotive and valuable features of the concept. The study demonstrates that the effective use of provided methodology for the study of an artistic concept requires a special algorithm for the application of scientific methods in order to isolate and characterize the verbal expression of the content of the emotion concept. We consider the implementation of general scientific and empirical methods based on the principles of verbalization, objectification and interpretation of the linguacultural emotional concept for a systemic study of the conceptualization features of the concept. The methodology is represented by the example of a complex analysis of the specific features of the key components of the concept HAPPINESS, a verbal embodiment in a Fr. Sc. Fitzgerald’s piece of art ‒ “The Great Gatsby”. The proposed methodology contributed to the identification of 6 dominant conceptual structures in percentage terms and distinctive features of their artistic translation.
