Abstract

This article examines the theoretical and practical foundations of a differentiated approach that takes into account students’ individual characteristics within the modern literary education system and analyzes the principles of differentiated instruction in literature teaching. At present, organizing the educational process on the basis of learner-centered principles and providing instruction according to each student’s level of achievement, interests, and creative potential is one of the most pressing issues in education. Within the scope of the study, the criteria for grouping students in literature classes, the methodology for designing tasks of varying levels of complexity, and the differentiated opportunities available in the analysis of literary texts are explored. The author substantiates the distinctive features of the differentiated approach in comparison with traditional teaching methods. The research reveals the specific characteristics of determining educational trajectories based on students’ reading competence and aesthetic appreciation. Furthermore, the article demonstrates, through empirical evidence, the effectiveness of differentiated tasks used in literature lessons, including text analysis activities, creative essays, and project-based assignments. The forms, methods, and tools for organizing students’ independent work on the basis of differentiated instruction are also examined. In addition, a system of independent learning activities tailored to students’ individual capabilities has been developed. Scientific and practical recommendations regarding the criteria of differentiated instruction are proposed. The article is intended for philologists, school teachers, researchers, and specialists in educational methodology.
