The problem of the structure of the learning environment, its properties and the technological basis for its creation is extremely urgent at present. This issue is addressed in numerous studies. An essential role in such an environment is played by individual learning paths. The question of developing a pedagogical model for creating individual learning paths based on educational maps, to which this study is devoted, remains open. The purpose of this study is to develop a pedagogical model for creating individual learning paths based on educational maps. The leading approach to researching the problem is based on ideas of project-based and student-centered active learning. The developed pedagogical model for creating individual learning paths on the basis of educational maps includes four main blocks - target, content, procedural and algorithmic and the block of implementation and evaluation.The target block consists of goals, requirements, methodological approaches and guidelines for creating individual learning paths based on educational maps. The goal is to increase the student’s activity and independence, support positive motivation, and individualize the learning process. As leading principles, we define adaptability, projectivity, and subjectivity. The content block includes a description of the structure of educational maps, technology for creating individual learning paths based on those maps. The procedural and algorithmic block includes a description of the scenarios practical implementation of individual learning paths based on educational maps. The block of implementation and evaluation contains a description of the methods, criteria and the corresponding performance indicators for creating individual learning paths based on educational maps.
