Abstract. The purpose of the study is to create a logically sound and theoretically grounded Pedagogy of Student Self-Management Organizations (PSSMO) belonging to the pedagogical sciences that study the peculiarities of upbringing in the individual age periods and educational levels of the school. Philosophical, general scientific, and private scientific methodology was used to summarize the accumulated theoretical and practical experience since the beginning of the new 21st century in the field of student self-management and to construct its systematized theoretical basis. As a result, the new PSSMO was created with its characteristic object, subject, general scientific definition, legal foundations, goal, tasks, principles, methods, functions, levels, roles, and place in the family of pedagogical sciences.
