Educational independence in the context of pedagogy of joint activity

Despite the requirements of the updated FSES LEO and FSES OOO, which point out formation of the ability to learn as the most important educational result, teachers of secondary schools have difficulties in developing such universal competence as learning independence. The problem of analyzing the different quality of educational independence and different ways of its formation is posed. The aim and objectives are to analyze the formation of the student’s educational independence in the context of the concept of pedagogy of joint activity and to substantiate the idea that its quality may be different depending on what positions the participants in joint activity occupy. Methods of theoretical analysis: the study of the history of the issue, analysis of modern challenges of the development of educational independence, pedagogy of joint activity. Learning independence is considered in the context of the pedagogy of joint activities (G. N. Prozumentova), different models and types of joint activities are analyzed, as well as different methods for the formation of independent learning. As a result of the analysis, various qualities of independence and its different types are distinguished: educationalfunctional, educational-cognitive, educational. Different types of independence of a student are associated with different positions that he occupies in educational activities (performer, co-executor, partner), as well as different types of actions carried out without the help of an adult (reproductive, constructive, creative). In addition, the different nature of independence, which is formed in the process of school education, affects the subject’s acquisition of different experiences: educational (experience of solving typical educational tasks), cognitive (experience of selfrealization of the action of cognition and discovery of a new one), educational (experience of setting and solving actual personal tasks in the field of education). It is concluded that the teacher consistently forms these different types of independence, thanks to which the student masters various ways of organizing amateur activity (reproductive, partially exploratory, personal) and leads to the development of agency as a person’s ability to act as an actor.
