Abstract
The article discusses the problem of developing learning autonomy among students in secondary vocational education in the process of preparing for the “Professionals” vocational skills championship. The relevance is determined by the requirements of federal state educational standards, which are focused on training competitive specialists capable of self-development and adaptation in a rapidly changing professional environment. Based on the analysis of the results of a pedagogical experiment, it was found that student participation in preparing for the championship contributes to the development of learning autonomy and its components: goal setting, planning, self-control, and responsibility for the results of activities. The experimental part of the study was conducted at the Polytechnic College of Polytechnic Institute of NovSU. Second-year students studying “Information Systems and Programming” were involved in the research. It is concluded that systematic preparation for the “Professionals” championship is an effective pedagogical tool for developing learning autonomy and can be included in the educational process as an element of the educational program.
