Description
Summary:It has been found that modern transformation processes in the education system of Ukraine require updating approaches to strategic management of the development of general secondary education institutions. The traditional model of centralized management is increasingly showing its inefficiency in the context of ensuring flexibility, adaptability and innovation of educational institutions. The purpose of the article is a theoretical justification for the implementation of a participatory approach to the development of a general secondary education institution. The article substantiates the feasibility of implementing a participatory approach in educational institutions, which contributes to increasing the effectiveness of strategic planning, developing a democratic culture and forming partnership relations between all participants in the educational process. Based on the analysis of modern scientific sources and empirical practices, participation tools (in particular, SWOT analysis, public discussions, electronic surveys, participatory budgets, facilitation sessions) are systematized, effective models are identified (strategic session, facilitated dialogue, design thinking, educational hackathon), which ensure the involvement of stakeholders in the process of managing the development of an educational institution. The developed algorithm for implementing a participatory approach can serve as a practical guideline for managers and management teams interested in implementing transparent, inclusive and effective management mechanisms. The results of the study show that a participatory approach to designing the development of an educational institution is an effective tool for democratizing management, which ensures the active involvement of stakeholders in all processes of strategic decision-making.
