A Model for Developing Independent Work Competencies of Academic Lyceum Students in an Electronic Educational Environment

The article substantiates a model for developing the independent work competencies of academic lyceum students in an electronic educational environment. The relevance of the study is determined by the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan «On Education» and the Concept for the Development of the Higher Education System of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030, as well as by the need to prepare graduates capable of independently planning, carrying out, and evaluating their own learning activity under conditions of digitalization. The purpose of the article is to reveal the methodological foundations, structure, implementation stages, and pedagogical conditions of the author’s four-block model, which comprises the target, content, procedural-methodological, and performance-evaluative blocks. The methodological basis of the model includes the activity-based, competency-based, learner-centered, and systemic approaches, B. Zimmerman’s theory of self-regulated learning, L. S. Vygotsky’s concept of the zone of proximal development with the gradual reduction of pedagogical support, and the Community of Inquiry model of Garrison, Anderson, and Archer. Implementation of the model involves five successive stages: motivational-diagnostic, orientational-instructional, operational-activity, independent-creative, and reflective-evaluative. The pedagogical conditions of effectiveness are identified: the teacher’s readiness for tutor support, students’ digital competence, the didactic quality of electronic educational resources, a system of prompt feedback, motivational support, and academic integrity. The expected results relate to raising the level of independence, self-regulation, information culture, and academic success of academic lyceum students.
