Abstract

Introduction. An important goal of education is the comprehensive and harmonious development of adolescents. This goal is determined by the Law of the Russian Federation “On Education” dated December 29, 2012 and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1642 “On Approval of the State Program of the Russian Federation “Development of Education” dated December 26, 2017. This program is aimed at modernizing the general education of Russia and is designed for a period up to 2025. Updating education in accordance with modern requirements will allow rational and fruitful progress towards the goal of developing adolescents' autonomy and solve related problems. At the beginning of 2022, pedagogical practice shows that the development of independence in adolescents has positive results: students are able to independently set learning goals, plan their activities, and carry out appropriate work independently of teachers and parents. However, this becomes insufficient, as science advances and puts forward new means of developing independence. So, one of the means can be digital educational resources. Today, work with them is carried out in almost all schools in the country, but the results of this work are still ineffective, which is a gap and requires the intensification of scientific and pedagogical activities in this direction. The purpose of the article is to define the concept and essence of the development of independence in adolescents in the context of the use of digital educational resources; development of a model for the development of independence in adolescents through digital educational resources. The base of the study was the MOU “Secondary School of the village of Balashi” of the Ozinsky district of the Saratov region, MOU “Secondary school of the village of Beloglinny” of the Ozinsky district of the Saratov region. A total of 60 adolescents took part in the study. Of these, 30 were included in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. Materials and methods. Generalization of facts, general scientific methods of cognition, analysis and synthesis made it possible to study the problem of research and develop a model for the implementation of the development of independence in adolescents. Research results. In the course of checking the effectiveness of the development of independence in adolescents (through digital educational resources), the initial level of development of independence in adolescents in the experimental and control groups was diagnosed. A low level of development was revealed. The practice of using digital educational resources, including for the development of independence in adolescents, has been studied. Practice has shown insufficient use of digital resources. The effectiveness of the developed model has been experimentally verified. It meets modern requirements in education and gives a productive result.
