The Russian state is experiencing an urgent need for a viable rising generation - capable of constructive self-determination in the new conditions of "increasing uncertainty of society." The formation of a viable person has increasing social significance and becomes a necessary condition for the successful adaptation of the younger generation in society, which makes it essential to study the pedagogical aspects of the of adolescents' viability formation for their successful functioning in society. The purpose of the study is to substantiate theoretically and develop a technology for the formation of the social and personal viability of adolescents, taking into account the socio-cultural, organizational and pedagogical characteristics of the educational institution. The article presents the results of the ascertaining stage of the pedagogical experiment to identify the features of the manifestation of social and personal viability in adolescents studying in an educational institution. The social and personal viability of adolescents is considered in the study as a pedagogical phenomenon, which is an integrative personality quality that characterizes the readiness of an individual for self-determination (moral, personal, social, professional) according to his/her own life scenario, as well as the readiness to manage this scenario and be responsible for the results of his/her decisions on life self-determination. The experimental work was carried out on the basis of general educational institutions among adolescents studying in grades 5–9 (in parallel, grades 5-6, grades 7-8, and grades 9). The theoretical significance of the research results allows us to solve urgent problems of the theory of designing the pedagogical process as a result of the introduction of a new categorical and conceptual base (social and personal viability of adolescents); clarification of the principles and functions of the process of forming the social and personal viability of adolescents; identification of the formation patterns of the social and personal viability of adolescents, which reveal the specifics of this process in general educational institutions; designing technology for the formation of social and personal viability of adolescents. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that reliance on the established logic of the formation of social and personal viability of adolescents contributes to an increase in the effectiveness of methodological reflection of teachers in organizing the process of socialization of adolescents.
