The relevance of the article is determined by the need to systematize the results of research related to the prevention of deviant behavior of children. The main purpose of the article is to review and analyze modern scientific pedagogical works that determine models, components, directions and technologies of effective prevention of deviant behavior of children in educational institutions. The author selected 66 theses of candidates and doctors of pedagogical sciences defended in the period 2000–2020 related to deviant behavior and its prevention. The methods of research are: analysis and synthesis of semantic units of the text; classification of semantic units of the text; content analysis of scientific works. The following semantic units of texts were analyzed: the concepts of deviant behavior and their content; signs or criteria of deviant behavior; ideas about the types of deviant behavior; ideas about resources for the prevention of deviant behavior in children and young people; models for the prevention of deviant behavior of children in educational organizations; recommendations and definite proposals for preventive work. The analysis made it possible to define subjects and directions; levels (primary, secondary, tertiary); stages (target, organizational, technological, evaluation); modules (module of medical information, module of sociological information, module of legal information, module of socio-cultural information, module of psychological information, module of pedagogical information); technologies (technology of organization of the social environment, information technology, technology of active training of socially important skills and formation of socially important characteristics, technology of organization of activities alternative to deviant behavior, technology of a healthy lifestyle cultivation, technology of personal resources activation); components (value-orientational, cognitive, emotional-volitional, behavioral, reflexive). There are conclusions about the need to resolve terminological contradictions and the importance of further systematization of scientific data concerning the prevention and correction of deviant behavior of adolescents.
