Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of a pedagogical support model for adolescents’ self-determination in a child-adult community

the article considers the relevance of the problem of adolescents’ self-determination in modern society. The aim of the study is to develop a model for adolescents’ self-determination in a child-adult community and to analyse its effectiveness. In order to achieve this goal, the objectives were set, including the analysis of the concepts of pedagogical support and self-determination, the development of the model and its implementation in the child-adult community "Military-patriotic association "Pamyat’"". The study was conducted with the participation of 50 teenagers. In the course of the study, various diagnostic techniques were used, which allowed us to assess the level of formation of such components of adolescents’ self-determination as value-target, reflexive and cognitive. The results of the implementation of the model showed positive changes in the level of adolescents’ self-determination in the experimental group, which indicates its effectiveness. The practical application of the results of the study can be implemented in educational institutions and child-adult associations aimed at the development of personal and social competences of adolescents. The identified difficulties and needs of adolescents will help educators to adapt methods of work, providing targeted support. This model can be adapted for different types of associations, which opens up prospects for further research.
