An objective information concerning educational level, the indices of the upbringing level of children and teen-agers, the peculiarities of each pupil
character a teacher can get during organized cultural-leisure activity, where he fulfills the role of its supervisor.
Having objective information about the level of mastered knowledge, attitudes to educational-upbringing process, interrelations with teachers and other members of pedagogical collective of a school, class-mates and other people, a teacher should reveal, analyze and estimate the ways of pedagogical influence on pupils, which provide negative features of a personality elimination in terms of using positive ones; select kinds and forms

One of the main objectives of educational process is a mindset to the personality formation of high moral standards, able to fulfill creative, constructive labor and constant development and improvement.

These abilities and skills absence helped to understand future teachers the importance of their mastering by means of constant modeling of possible variants of children and teen-agers behavior and the search for the ways of control over their activity. Students were recommended to create the algorithm of their actions concerning rational interaction setting with "difficult" children and teen-agers.
After the end of the pedagogical experiment one more estimation of the formation level of cultural-leisure activity management skills formation among the students of the CG and the EG, using the same evaluation criteria, was held. The research materials analysis showed, that the results improved in both groups, however, in the EG they turned out to be sufficiently higher. In the CG with the initial indices in formation level of system approach realization skills during free time organization - 2,58±0,17 points, to the end of the pedagogical experiment the results increased till 2,72±0,14 points (p>0,05); in the EG with the initial indices 2,53±0,19 points to the end of the pedagogical experiment the results increased till 3,37±0,21 points (p<0,05). In the CG with the initial indices in
formation level of the skills of personality-activity based approach use during free time organization 2,67±0,20 points to the end of the experiment the results increased till 2,77±0,16 points (p>0,05); in the EG with the initial indices 2,69±0,17 points the indices increased and were 3,51±0,22 points (p<0,05).
