Abstract

In the article, the authors consider the peculiarities of profiling general secondary education of academic and professional orientation, analyse the structure of educational components of profile education and their impact on high school students’ educational autonomy. The key mechanisms for ensuring autonomy are identified, including the choice of profile, elective courses, curriculum flexibility and independent research activities. The importance of personalisation of the educational process for the effective preparation of students of specialised secondary education for further education and professional development is emphasised. It is determined that the academic track focuses on in-depth study of certain subjects, preparing high school students for admission to higher education institutions. Meanwhile, the professional track aims at acquiring knowledge and skills based on state educational and professional standards, ensuring graduates’ readiness for entering the labour market. The study highlights the flexibility of curriculum formation and the choice between studying subjects as separate disciplines or integrated courses. Schools are granted autonomy in determining subject levels (basic or advanced), distributing academic workloads, and implementing elective courses that shape high school students’ individual learning trajectories. The article is dedicated to high school students’ educational autonomy in profiled secondary education. The key mechanisms for its implementation are: possibility to choose a study profile based on high school students’ abilities and career aspirations; elective courses and extracurricular activities, contributing to the personalization of learning; flexibility in curriculum development, allowing schools to tailor education to high school students’ needs; development of research and project-based learning, fostering independent learning and critical thinking skills. The conclusion emphasizes that educational autonomy in profiled secondary education is a crucial factor in preparing high school students for higher education or professional careers. The application of personalized learning approaches, flexible profiling models, and the integration of formal and informal education will contribute to improving the effectiveness of profiled secondary education in Ukraine.
