The experience of investigate of collective formation problems of and functioning of the SSG great, but the problem of formation of collective of students by means government not considered. When we investigated this subject, we have identified the main criterion of forming collective by means of SSG. It is to involve students to participate in the SSG, which we describe in this article, focusing on the stages of this criterion.

The main result. Now Ukrainian students raises the issue of the creation of student self-government do not as the idea, but as a practical tool for action and implementation of their ideas.

Modern researchers do not pay proper attention to the fact that cooperation between students and the administration of the university do not always coincide with those described in the legal documents. That is why there is a series of discussions in scientific circles regarding the organization of the SSG at the university level and its impact on the formation of the collective.

The most common problem in Ukrainian universities is to involve students to the implementation of management functions universities. This means the ability of members of the academic independently and responsibly solve urgent problems. Self-government is part of the educational process. It manifests itself in a specially organized activities of students, which means providing active, voluntary participation in their management of their own activities [1, p. 376].

Involving students to the administration of the group, the faculty includes not only towards a common goal for the individual, group, department, but formation of a holistic collective. Only joint activities and satisfaction each student from the result contributes to the formation real of the collective and SSG in it [2].

In order to attract students to the SSG it is need to go through the following stages:

1. Preparatory and emotional stage. Provides recommendations for organizational structure, objectives, requirements, tasks, directions of the SSG. For this in university Ukraine widely used business games. They make it possible copy the activity of real people and real self-government (administrations), simulate real situations and management procedures for solving practical problems. During these games is necessary dialogical communication, interaction of all participants. The advantag of business games is that during their of preparation and holding of in students developing an interest in SSG, management acquires of personal of content, is formed and enriched the experience of self-organization and self-regulation. In addition, business simulation speed up the consolidation certain skills.

Internal controllers in students this is their motives, sense of purpose, understanding of the purpose, understanding the process, personal and collective importance, results of administrative activity, desire and the need to exert their own efforts, and so on. The empirical indicators activities students in the bodies of SSG serve: the level of inclusion of

students in management and their activity in it, satisfaction with their participation in the management.

An interesting example of this stage is Canada. In this country are create sites to help understand the work of self-government (Site of York university, Toronto, Canada) [3]. These sites are describe the work of the SSG widely and available. Also in these sites are a large number of useful links, a variety of information materials that explain young people the importance and the possibility of this phenomenon [4].

2. The cognitive stage. Provides necessary information for students: about the legal, socioeconomic, socio-psychological and pedagogical activity SSG; about the of SSG activity in the student collective; about the content, stages, forms and methods of the SSG; about the character of interpersonal relations students and administration.

3. Activity-stage. This is a management activity in the educational collective. Therefore, as a content of management skills are the following skills: constructive, organizational, communication, gnostic. Also important is the ability to set concrete goals and plan and organize the activities to achieve the goals, and quickly assess and control the personal results, and ability to organize friends, their training, and organize self-education.

This is possible only when in universities there is a clear, stable organizational structure of government. Stability of administrative activity creates conditions for providing a wide space to the initiative of students, teachers, student organizations and groups.

It is depend on the type and specific universities that executive powers SSG can be the following forms: parliament, collegium, student educational department, student dean, senate and others. SSG may evolve into other forms of its tasks with simultaneous complication in the passing stages of its development.

Only in the clear and the sustainability of SSG students can form a real cohesive collective in which everyone can realize their abilities and skills. Even fragmented acquaintance with experience of SSG in foreign universities (France, Poland, Canada, Great Britain) can understand that it is conducted efficiently and devoid of formalism.

It is interesting a Poland experience in attracting students to the activities of the SSG who have enshrined in the law a right to participate in the decision of the general university affairs. For this student community chooses its representatives to collective bodies that operate at the university. An important lever of influence on the administration of the university by SSG in Poland is the right to determine the size of tuition fees at university. In the case of pressure from the administration on student activists, students can put the university in a difficult financial situation. Another major means of influence is a crucial right to approve the pro-rector of student issues [5].

The active involvement in SSG promotes to formation a holistic collective. Attracting students to the SSG is essential for the formation of organization and unity of the collective. Because it provides the joint

activities, the establishment of general traditions and moral norms, a clear division of responsibilities between collective members, the existence of authoritative and capable asset, joint responsibility. The activity of SSG at the level of the collective is aimed at solving such problems [6] :

• formation of a holistic and cohesive collective;

• formation and development of communication skills;

• actively participate in social activities and cultural events;

• formation of students initiative, organizational abilities and skills, the ability to make decisions collectively;

• create a healthy microclimate of group;

• education of careful attitude to university property;

• strengthening of labor discipline;

• respectful attitude to each member of collective.

The experience shows that the formation of each student a sense of responsibility is possible in the condition that each student make assignments, which for him is essential. In a student collective it is formed a responsible for assignments of each student. Therefore, every student academic group should have the assignments, which is associated with the interests

mayor, union leader, coordinators of educational, cultural, sports activities, responsible for relations with civil society organizations, correspondent groups, and so on. Can be installed another assignments arising from the needs of students.

Formation, organization and unity of the collective is characterized by: degree of commitment to issues of group, similarity position, the level of mutual sympathy, a measure of the usefulness of its members, common objectives, interests, goals and preferences, attitudes of the teaching staff to the group, the ability to maintain and friendly relationships and involvement in the SSG of the collective.

The functioning of the SSG at the level of the collective group aimed at improving the quality of the educational process and improve the formation of collective action through effective activity of each student. Consequently, really active SSG is connected with the restructuring of thinking and psychology of both teachers and students with the transition from monologue forms of communication with the audience to the living, creative dialogue. It is important to avoid cases of formalized and constantly refer to the experience of the SSG in foreign universities.

The power of the SSG is in unity, cohesion, what is aimed at satisfying the interests of students in the educational process, the entire university life, to create conditions for full student life to the full collective.

and abilities. Typical assignments are the following:
