Summary results of a diagnostic study of students in grades 9 A, 9 B

"The readiness of high school students to choose a profession"

Thus, analyzing the quantitative results of the diagnostic survey of the level of readiness of 9th grade students to choose a profession, we can conclude that the majority of students (67.6%) at the time of diagnosis have an average level of readiness for the upcoming choice of profession. High level, in the studied classes, only 3 respondents or 8.1%, 21.6% of students have a level of readiness - low.

Summarizing the results of the empirical study, we can conclude that at present high school students are poorly oriented in the basics of professional self-determination, namely where to start, who can help, etc. Most high school students find it difficult to understand their abilities, qualities and character traits, interests. Their ideas about their own personality often remain at the level of everyday judgments, and when choosing a profession, they are driven not by internal, but by external motives. Choosing a profession is a very difficult and responsible step, so you need to approach it thoughtfully and with all seriousness.

There are a few simple rules that a graduate is recommended to follow when choosing future profession:

First, to study yourself: to understand your interests, inclinations, features of your character and physical capabilities;

Secondly, think and evaluate your strengths and weaknesses;

Thirdly, get acquainted with professions that correspond to existing interests, abilities, and opportunities.

Then, when the first three steps are already behind, and there are clear leaders among the professions, go to the second step. Talk with representatives of the chosen professions, if possible visit their workplace, get acquainted with the conditions and nature of work. Get to know the educational institutions where you can get your chosen profession. Compare your personal qualities and capabilities with the nature of the profession that was chosen.

Introduction to the thesis (part of the abstract) on the topic "Formation of readiness among older students to choose a profession in the educational process of a comprehensive school"

Modernization Russian education requires an active search for new forms, methods, means of training and education aimed at improving the pedagogical process, preparing the younger generation for life and work in conditions market economy.

In the "conditions of intensive search for ways" of the economic development of the country, combining the functioning of market relations and state regulation, young people need to develop social activity, civic initiative, entrepreneurship and the ability to determine their future. A special role in the formation of such personality traits belongs to educational institutions.

The increased requirements of society for the quality of education in general, the level of educational preparation of schoolchildren and readiness to choose a profession, to personal development, determine the purpose and content of the educational process at school.

In the current situation, school graduates are more serious about choosing a profession of the new century, the question of self-determination in modern socio-economic conditions is more acute.

The school is designed to ensure readiness to choose a profession, develop professional interests and inclinations of the individual. At the final stage of schooling, high school students should be ready to choose a profession and continue to receive education.

However, studies show that schoolchildren are poorly prepared for choosing a profession, about 50% of them (11, p. 92).

Such uncertainty leads to the fact that random people who do not strive to master their chosen profession to perfection often enter vocational schools.

To this end, schools began to actively introduce specialized education. However, the analysis of the state of practice shows that providing the necessary knowledge does not solve the problem of schoolchildren's readiness to choose a profession and to adapt to the dynamic socio-economic conditions of our reality.

Potential opportunities of today's school, social environment, do not allow students to have a sufficient level of sufficient knowledge and ~ are purely theorized in nature, divorced from reality. Modern schoolchildren will not be able to resist the negative phenomena of the market environment. In this regard, the problem of the formation of such values ​​that contribute to the moral stability of schoolchildren to the negative phenomena of a market economy has arisen. Therefore, the formation of students' readiness to choose a profession in the context of moral development acquires special significance and requires effective pedagogical guidance in the formation of this process. Thus, a contradiction arose between: the requirement of society for the formation of students' readiness to choose a profession and the conservatism of the school, as social institution; the need to develop and implement effective forms and methods of new technologies that increase the efficiency of shaping the readiness of schoolchildren to choose a profession and the predominance of traditional approaches in school; the changing content of the subjects of the humanitarian cycle, the need to use a variety of programs in the school according to the profiles of education and the insufficient preparedness of teaching staff for this type of educational activity. These contradictions give rise to a problem, which consists in the need to develop pedagogical conditions for the effectiveness of the formation of readiness for the choice of a profession in the educational process of a general education school among senior schoolchildren.

In the 70-80s of the 20th century, a coherent system of vocational guidance for schoolchildren was developed, but today the general education school is in dire need of developing and implementing new approaches to shaping the readiness of older students to choose a profession.

The theoretical understanding of various aspects of the problem of choosing a profession was facilitated by the works of various scientists. The importance of her research was noted in their works by well-known domestic teachers P.P. Blonsky, A.V. Lunacharsky, A.S. Makarenko, V.A. Sukhomlinsky, S.T. Shatsky.

The social aspect of the problem of choosing a profession by young people was analyzed by scientists I.N. Nazimov, M.N. Rutkevich, M.Kh. Titma, V.N. Shubkin.

Psychophysical and biomedical foundations for choosing a profession are presented in the works of V.G. Anan'eva, I.D. Kartseva, E.A. Klimova, I.D. Levitova, N.S. Leites, A.N. Leontiev, K.K. Platonov.

The choice of a profession on a polytechnical basis in the process of combining the education and upbringing of students with productive labor was considered in their works by P.R. Atutov, K.Sh. Akhiyarov, A.F. Akhmatov, S.Ya. Batyshev,

A.A. Vasiliev, A.A. Kyveryalg, V.A. Polyakov, V.D. Simonenko and others.

Pedagogical conditions, management of the process of choosing a profession are summarized and presented in the works of Yu.P. Avericheva, L.V. Botyakova, E.D. Varnakova, Yu.K. Vasilyeva, A.E. Golomshtok, N.N. Zakharova, A.Ya. Naina,

B.L. Savinykh, A.D. Sazonova, G.N. Serikova, S.N. Chistyakova and others.

As you know, there have been changes in the priorities in the values ​​and goals of education, the transition from a technocratic approach to the implementation of its cultural and humanistic essence dictated a change in the nature of the preparation of schoolchildren for choosing a profession. Academician P.R. Atutov noted that it is necessary to “recognize as the leading developing function of labor training”, “a radical change in the goals and objectives of career guidance” (12, p. 3). The doctoral dissertations of N.E. Kasatkina, N.S. Pryazhnikova, S.V. Saltseva, I.D. Chechel, T.I. Shalavina.

However, until now, the formation of readiness for choosing a profession in the educational process of older students has not been sufficiently studied, its main pedagogical conditions have not been identified.

The urgency of the problem, its insufficient elaboration determined the theme of our study "Formation in senior schoolchildren of readiness to choose a profession in the educational process of a general education school."

The contradiction revealed by us between the needs of mass practice and the state of the area we are studying pedagogical science made it possible to formulate the problem of this study as follows: what are the pedagogical conditions for the formation of the readiness of older students to choose a profession in the educational process of a general education school?

The purpose of the study: to identify, theoretically and experimentally substantiate the pedagogical conditions for the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students.

Object of study: a holistic educational process in a general education school.

Subject of study: the formation of readiness among senior schoolchildren to choose a profession in the educational process of a general education school.

As a hypothesis, it was suggested that: the effectiveness of the formation of readiness to choose a profession in the educational process in the educational process is predetermined by two groups of hierarchically interconnected conditions: a) general conditions the effectiveness of a holistic and at the same time multifaceted educational process, which also affects the effectiveness of the formation of readiness among older students to choose a profession; b) particular conditions that directly affect the process of formation of readiness for choosing a profession. The implementation of these two groups of conditions in their organic relationship can ensure the effectiveness of the process we are studying if a model is developed and implemented for the formation of readiness for choosing a profession in a general education school among older students.

Taking into account the problem, purpose, object and subject of the study, its tasks were defined:

1. Consider the essence of the readiness of older students to choose a profession in the educational process of a general education school.

2. To study the originality of the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students.

3. Develop a model (goal, objectives, factors, contradictions, patterns, principles, content, forms, methods, means, pedagogical conditions, result) of formation of readiness for choosing a profession in the educational process of a general education school in senior schoolchildren.

4. To identify, theoretically and experimentally substantiate the pedagogical conditions (general and particular) of the effectiveness of the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students.

The methodological basis of the study is: materialistic dialectics and a systematic approach as its most important facet and the general methodological principle of science (V.G. Afanasiev, I.V. Blauberg, V.N. Kuzmin, I.V. Yudin, etc.); implementation of activity, cultural approaches, the idea of ​​humanism and the democratization of society and education, the position on the unity of theory and practice, the doctrine of the creative and activity essence of the individual, the laws of its formation, the leading role of activity and communication in the development of the individual.

The theoretical basis of the study was: the psychological theory of personality (B.G. Ananiev, L.S. Vygotsky, A.N. Leontiev, K.K. Platonov, S.L. Rubinshtein); theory of vocational guidance and professional self-determination (E.A. Klimov, I.N. Nazimov, E.M. Pavlyutinkov, O.G. Maksimova, V.D. Simonenko, S.N. Chistyakova, etc.); modern concepts of education (E.V. Bondarevskaya, L.I. Novikova, Yu.P. Sokolnikov, G.N. Volkov, N.I. Shchurkova, B.T. Likhachev).

Research methods. The central place among them was occupied by the organization by the author as the head of a general educational institution of a holistic pedagogical experience and the conduct of experimental work on it. Along with them, to achieve the goals and objectives of the study, the following methods were used: theoretical analysis of philosophical, psychological, pedagogical literature, analysis of educational documentation and statistical data, generalization of advanced pedagogical experience in the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students, observation, questioning, testing , conversations with students, teachers and parents, modeling of the pedagogical process.

The study was carried out in several stages.

Stage 1 (1993-1995) - accumulation and comprehension of personal pedagogical experience in the activities of a general education school, theoretical analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature, legislative and regulatory acts on research issues, as well as studying the experience of formation among older students in a secondary general education school . The main attention at this stage was paid to the definition of the initial parameters of the study and its general hypothesis.

Stage 2 (1996-2000) - comprehension of the holistic pedagogical experience that we have accumulated in a general education school and the formation in it of the readiness of older students to choose a profession.

Improvement of this experience on the basis of the general hypothesis developed by us. Organization of experimental work aimed at testing the proposed hypothesis.

Stage 3 (2000-2004) - completion of experimental work aimed at testing the general hypothesis of the study. Determination of criteria and levels of formation of readiness for choosing a profession among senior schoolchildren.

The model developed by the author for the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among senior schoolchildren was introduced into the practice of general education schools. Formation of conclusions and recommendations of the study. Preparation of the abstract and dissertation for defense.

The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that:

1. The essence of the readiness of older students to choose a profession and the peculiarity of their formation in the educational process are clarified.

2. A model was developed and experimentally tested for the formation of readiness in senior schoolchildren to choose a profession in a general education school.

3. Two groups of pedagogical conditions (general and particular) of the effectiveness of the formation of readiness for choosing a profession in the pedagogical process of a general education school have been identified, theoretically and experimentally substantiated.

The theoretical significance of the study is as follows: the existing theoretical ideas about the essence of the readiness of high school students to choose a profession have been expanded, a model has been developed for the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among senior schoolchildren in the pedagogical process of a general education school, and pedagogical conditions have been identified that ensure the effectiveness of the formation of readiness for choosing a profession, which represent new knowledge, will be widely used by researchers of this problem, primarily in the development of new approaches to the formation of readiness for choosing a profession by older students.

The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the conclusions and recommendations contained in the dissertation can be used in schools. They can be used in the preparation of manuals on pedagogy, in advanced training courses for teaching staff.

The validity and reliability of the research results are provided by a scientifically based methodological approach based on a systematic understanding of pedagogical reality, the adequacy of the research methodology for the tasks set, a variety of research methods that complement each other, central location among which occupied experimental work and holistic pedagogical experience, the representativeness of experimental data, the thoroughness of the analysis of the results obtained.

Approbation and implementation of the results of the study was carried out in the course of organizing a holistic educational process in schools No. 1977, 936. The main results of the study were discussed and received a positive assessment.

Approbation and implementation of the research results: the results of the research were discussed at meetings of the school's pedagogical council, methodological associations of teachers, parent meetings schools, at seminars for deputy. directors and directors of schools in Moscow (2001, 2002, 2003), dedicated to the formation of the readiness of older students to choose a profession, at the annual meetings of the laboratory of the center for a systematic approach to education of the Association "Education", at the annual conferences of teachers and graduate students of the Moscow State Pedagogical University named after. M.A. Sholokhov, at interuniversity conferences in the city of Moscow (2002), at meetings of the laboratory of the OSI MO RF.

Dissertation conclusion on the topic "General Pedagogy, History of Pedagogy and Education", Popovich, Alexey Emilievich

The results of the study of reflexive processes by S.D. Neverkovich, N.V. Samoukina, I.N. Semenov, the content of the reflexive component of a student's readiness to choose a profession makes it possible to determine the student's ability to rethink the means and logical foundations of his activity, the goals of his actions, self-esteem, etc. The presence of such an ability, schoolchildren develop a stable motivation for self-change and self-improvement of their activities, their personality.

So, we consider readiness to choose a profession as a stable personality characteristic, an integral complex that includes personal-target, information-gnostic and reflective-evaluative components that meet the requirements of the content and conditions of future professional activity.

1.2. The peculiarity of the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students

In characterizing the features of the formation of readiness to choose a profession in senior school age in a general education school, we proceed from the recognition that personality development is a complex, long, multi-stage process. At the same time, like the personality itself, its development is a process that is both holistic and multifaceted.

As you know, each personality in its development goes through certain stages that are qualitatively different from each other. The most general periodization of life, covering it as a whole, is reduced to the allocation of three very long segments of the life path: 1) growing up - up to 30 years; 2) maturity - up to 60 years; 3) old age - until the end of life.

Pedagogical psychology, which studies the features of human development in the period of its formation, distinguishes the following stages: infancy, early childhood, preschool age, primary school age, adolescence, adolescence. In adolescence, younger adolescence and older adolescence are distinguished.

As you know, the development of personality is a gradual accumulation of imperceptible quantitative changes and their transition at some stage into qualitative ones. Accordingly, the age characteristics of individual stages of development do not exist as static for a given stage and changing only with the transition of the individual to the next stage. It can be noted that the age characteristics of each of the stages of personality development exist as certain trends.

Teachers in their activities should use the opportunities of each age period in the formation of personality, missed in childhood, never return to the years of youth, and even more so in adulthood. This rule applies to all areas of a student's life, and especially the stage of formation of readiness for choosing a profession. An indicator of its development is the emergence of a sense of "adulthood", which is the central formation of adolescence, since it "is the neoplasm through which the adolescent identifies, compares himself with adults, comrades, finds role models, builds relationships with other people and rebuilds his activity” (5).

It should be remembered that the social situation of adolescence is such that it is at this age that, due to the level of development achieved by the pupils, new opportunities appear in order to direct their activities for the benefit of society. But at the same time, at this age, there are more and more opportunities for labor and other activities to be organized by the forces of the pupils themselves. In this progressively more complex, developing activity of adolescents, their self-awareness is formed. Awareness of one's "I" and one's attitude to the environment acts as a single process, the sides of which mutually penetrate, intertwine.

It has been established that a teenager's awareness of his relationship to the surrounding reality is one of the prerequisites for the emergence of a social situation in the development of senior school age, which is characterized by the formation of a worldview, beliefs, and the development of mediated needs (24). At this age, there is a transition from sufficiently conscious, unstable and, often not correlated with the requirements of society, motives junior schoolchildren to the formation of a certain moral orientation in older students.

Science has established that the peculiarities of the upbringing of high school students are largely determined by the specifics of adolescence. Let's give a brief description of it.

At this age, older students are at the stage of entry into an independent life. They are characterized by a focus on the future. It inevitably leaves an imprint on the entire behavior and psyche of young men and women. Their self-awareness grows, the need for self-determination develops, in choosing a future profession, the role of self-esteem increases, and the worldview is intensively formed. It should be noted that the process of formation of readiness to choose a profession for girls and boys is largely determined by the state of the economy. modern society, and setting up work on their education in those pedagogical systems in which they are included - in the family, school, institutions of additional education. Deficiencies in career guidance and in general educational work lead to the manifestation of infantilism in the formation of readiness for professional activity, lack of education in professional interests, and unpreparedness for the choice of a profession by older students. A mass study of the readiness to choose a profession among senior schoolchildren in the course of experimental work showed that the levels of its readiness turn out to be different. There are three levels - low, medium and high. The ascertaining stage of the experiment that we conducted showed that usually the majority of high school students have a low level of readiness to choose a profession. Summarizing the materials of the mass study of students, we came to the conclusion that the reason for this is that high school students are not included in professional tests that contain creative components of various types of professional activity from an idea to the final result. The formation of readiness to choose a profession, interest in a variety of activities, in general, will be effective when a senior student participates in a variety of activities.

As psychologists note, teaching continues to be the leading activity at this age, but along with it, labor and professional activities play an increasingly important role in the life of a student, usually going beyond the boundaries of school and institutions of additional education. An important factor in the moral formation of the personality of an older student, in developing his readiness to continue education after graduation, is labor. The interests of high school students, in comparison with adolescents, become more selective and stable, they have a growing interest in the subject into an interest in science.

The contents of the studied disciplines allow senior students to comprehend the surrounding reality from a philosophical standpoint, and show a serious interest in worldview issues. In the field of their interests and problems of logic, psychology, bionics, genetics, astrophysics, market economy, etc. Considering these circumstances, we have activated the intellectual activity of older students, setting them tasks of increasing complexity that require high school students to analyze and generalize the phenomena under consideration, make independent conclusions, create conditions in the classroom for a creative discussion of issues of concern to high school students, an active exchange of opinions, attract them to participate in scientific conferences, olympiads, meetings with scientists.

It has been established in science that the collective plays an important role in the life of high school students, this age is called the most “collectivist”. The involvement of older students in collective affairs and concerns provides an opportunity to show their abilities and talents. There is a process of self-determination of the personality, the growth of self-consciousness of high school students contributes to the development of the need for self-education, the desire to get rid of not only some shortcomings in behavior, but also to improve the personality as a whole. On the this stage it is of great importance to educate senior students of the correct idea of ​​personality young man, the formation of his moral model, ideal. In accordance with which he will educate his own personality.

It should be noted that in modern conditions the potential readiness of senior schoolchildren for the organization of life is formed in a complex social reality, and therefore his further life path and career become very uncertain. This gives rise to a very difficult problem for them - determining the measure of correctness in assessing and understanding social relations, their significance in life that make up these relations. Schoolchildren need communication and the learning process itself at school attracts not only the content, but also the opportunity to communicate with peers.

Teachers and psychologists note that development at this age is determined by its communication with people in all forms of socially useful activities: production and labor, artistic, sports, etc. A senior student receives such communication in extracurricular activities, being engaged in interest associations in institutions of additional education. In the educational space of the city, they are the most popular, necessary for the emerging personality of the student. There is an intensive psycho-physiological development, the development of imagination, perception, tactile qualities of memory, as well as strengthening the muscles of the body. These qualities contribute to the education of professional interests.

At this age, the formation of value orientations takes place, the defining focus of which is social responsibility. It is characterized by a person's attitude to creative activity as to his civic duty, readiness to correlate his interests with public ones, to be responsible for the results of his activity and behavior. The education of readiness for choosing a profession in senior school age is associated with the development of creative activity, the desire of students for self-education. One of the criteria for the readiness of older students to choose a profession is an adequate positive self-assessment, readiness for reasonable professional self-determination.

The identification of features of the content of extracurricular activities in the process of preparing for the choice of a profession, the features of the content of the process of high school students does not mean that the determination of his readiness for choosing a profession is formed only at this age stage. It has been established in pedagogical science that the organization of activities, accuracy, diligence continue to form even after the transition of students from primary to secondary school, social activity - at senior school age, but certain content is most successfully absorbed at a sensitive age for their perception.

The conducted studies have determined and proved that it is in the senior school age that such dominant features characteristic of the subjects of today's market psychology are actively formed, such as: efficiency, practical orientation, initiative, openness to innovation, readiness for extraordinary solutions, reasonable risk, orientation to win in a competitive environment. struggle, confidence in decisions and actions.

As you know, at this age there are two major changes in life: organic - puberty and cultural - the discovery of one's "I", the formation of personality and its worldview. The emergence of the life plan as a system of adaptation, conscious human, continues the development of the personality of the senior student.

It should be noted that the specifics of the senior school age are the relationships between boys and girls, created and necessary for each other. Their relationship is beautiful because opposites unite, each of them supports and develops these opposites. The young man develops in the girl the desire and ability to please, to be gentle and affectionate, the ability to subtle emotional resonance, female beauty. And the girl develops in the young man his masculinity, self-confidence, chivalrous attitude towards the weak, a sense of duty to the family, society, strength of mind, the strength of male society, endurance, male enterprise, efficiency, energy, etc.

Analysis and generalization of the results of the development of the emotional volitional and intellectual spheres of the child's personality in various age periods preceding the senior school age makes it possible to predict its further development. Personal development is based on continuity, and all new personal qualities are laid down at previous age stages. Based on what has already been formed in the student, we will consider the readiness to choose a profession at senior school age, taking into account the leading activity of this age - professional. It provides for the development of the content of various activities that enrich the life of an older student, provide multifaceted material for imagination, for building life goals. A characteristic feature of the psychology of adolescence is aspiration to the future (83). A.S. Makarenko believed that to educate a person means to educate a person with a perspective (84), based on the real requirements of life, taking into account the emerging socio-economic perspective, that is, to reflect, and, if possible, to forestall the processes taking place in society.

Scientists, experts, practitioners note that the orientation of young people to life in the system of market relations is the most difficult task, since a significant part of our population (including young people) is characterized by egalitarian collectivist relations, socio-psychological attitudes. Preparing young people for life in the harsh realities of a market economy, it is necessary to overcome these attitudes. At senior school age, students are clearly convinced that the market is a sphere of alternatives and entrepreneurial risk, a kind of test of economic independence and a manifestation of intellectual originality. For young people, the market can be a powerful stimulus for developing a sense of ownership, independence and self-activity. In the conditions of the market, people will find themselves entrepreneurial, businesslike, hardworking, professionally competent, able to quickly adapt to changing conditions, capable of taking risks, independently choosing areas of activity, making responsible decisions and self-regulating behavior. This situation requires the formation of a high type of personality, characterized by decency, a sense of human dignity. If these qualities are not present in the self-consciousness and behavior of young people, civilized market relations are doomed to failure. The upbringing of high moral qualities is becoming an indispensable condition for the preparation of business people capable of reviving and developing an economy that is turned to people.

Teachers, psychologists believe that the relevance of the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among future participants social production determined by two main reasons. The first of them is connected with the adaptation of a school graduate in adult labor activity, in the material and non-material spheres of social production. The second is connected with the development of his social and political activity. Whatever problem public life we have not encountered, each is somehow connected with the economic interests and relationships of people in society. This also applies to environmental issues, politics and national relations, the development of morality, ethics and many other important issues.

Senior schoolchildren are active, enter into numerous connections and relationships with the outside world, with people. The wider and richer the circle of these connections and relations of students with society, with other people, than the more versatile Practical activities in society, in a team, the more successfully they develop mentally, morally, aesthetically, etc.

The transition to market relations is accompanied not only significant changes in the vocational training of young people, but

RUSSIAN STATE LIBRARY and a fundamentally new approach to planning your own career, work path.

As you know, upbringing and education at senior school age cannot be reduced to a passive perception of the experience, knowledge, and skills of the older generation. The effectiveness of education increases if the pupil himself is more active. The development of the student occurs in the course of his active activity.

It is known that the efficiency of the process of mastering knowledge and experience increases if the student himself begins to explain the perception of knowledge to others. AND I. Comenius wrote: “Everything that is assimilated must, in turn, be passed on to others and for others, so that no knowledge is lost. In this sense, it is correctly said: your knowledge is nothing if the other does not know that you know it. To teach means to retell everything learned in turn to comrades or to anyone who wants to listen. He who teaches others learns himself - not only because, by repeating, he strengthens his knowledge in sebb, but also because he gets the opportunity to penetrate deeper into things.

One of the students who wants to make great progress in knowledge would look for students whom he could teach daily what he learns himself, even if he had to pay them money. This is about education.

Further, criticizing teachers who do not teach to transfer their knowledge to others, Comenius writes: “What was connected by nature was not taken together, but separately. They (the students) were forced only to study and never - to teach, although all this. must be connected together, as in running - the ability to raise and lower the legs, in conversation - to listen and respond, in the ball game - toss the ball and pick it up, etc. ”

Comenius' wishes are relevant for us today. We have the same shortcomings. Sometimes you can meet teachers who only themselves strive to teach and educate children, but do not force them to teach and educate others.

V.A. Sukhomlinsky wrote: “Many years of experience convinced me that a person is truly educated when he educates another person, self-esteem, honor, pride awakens in a person on the condition that he puts a particle of his spiritual forces into another person. I see my most important, paramount task as the chief educator of the school in that every high school student is to some extent an educator.

A huge influence on the choice of a profession by older students has an ideal and the implementation of professional activities, which gives the experience of the fullness of life, the recognition of a person and the realization of his capabilities. Otherwise, it is also called a sense of social belonging (136).

Creativity becomes more and more significant in the life of older students, which allows them to experience the fullness of life associated with efforts to organize the “I”. They already have a performing, visual, economic, entrepreneurial activity, which requires the manifestation of such personal qualities, as initiative, self-regulation, involvement in the task, perseverance. (93,148). This is what often characterizes the level of personality development, which later manifests itself in the achievements of professional activity. The world of professions is dynamic, and it forms an adequate “human factor”, highlighting the development of a person’s personality (92)

As we have already noted, the social situation of development at senior school age is determined by the fact that he is on the verge of entering an independent life. In a market economy, many researchers of this age (93;94;27;29). connect the transition from adolescence to early adolescence with a sharp change in the internal position, which consists in the fact that aspiration for the future becomes the main focus of the personality and the problem of choosing a future profession, a further life path is in the focus of the young man's attention, becomes his immediate prospect. It is no coincidence that the main neoplasm in senior school age becomes life and professional self-determination, awareness of one's place in the future, i.e. the birth of a “life perspective” 26 an idea of ​​your desired “I”, about what you would like to do in life.

At this stage of personality development, the organization of specialized training is relevant. But it should be remembered that in mental development nothing happens "by itself", without external influence. It is in our power and interest to make this influence more "nourishing" (143). Identification of professional interests, awareness of one's life plan is the basis of professional self-determination. “The activity should be mine, captivate me, come from my soul,” confirms K.D. Ushinsky (143). Therefore, the study of professional interests at an early stage of the formation of a professional choice allows organizing specialized training, taking into account the correction and development of pedagogical technologies.

The school is undergoing a complex process of changing orientations. There is a movement that begins with the rejection of the previous ideological set dogmas through the situation of a certain value vacuum to a gradual and difficult realization of the priority of universal human values. The humanistic ideas of "all-unity", the cosmic connection of man with the world, the harmony of the relationship between personality and nature, uniting various philosophers (V. Vernadsky, N. Berdyaev, V. Solovyov, A. Chizhevsky, etc.) into a common moral and philosophical trend of Russian cosmism can serve as a methodological basis for building a non-uniform Russian school based on faith in transformative processes and the great potential of GOMO Sapiens.

K. Rogers, A. Maslow note that a person is a unique value system, which is an open possibility of self-actualization, inherent only to a person. Such people are free to choose their own path in life. With all the restrictions, they always have a choice, they are free to choose and are responsible for the consequences of the choice.

According to K. Rogers, freedom is the most important condition for self-actualization.

In the world educational tradition, a special value and at the same time a vector of development is the movement towards independence (the ability to self-development, in the words of A.S. Pushkin) towards the formation of an amateur, self-conscious, self-directed.

School No. 1977 educational institution. As an element of pedagogical experience, it is always present along with the general and the special.

What is special about the school is that it is an urban experimental site, one of the most important tasks of the school is profiling, the school is experimenting with profile education: two profiles are open - natural-mathematical and social-humanitarian, career guidance. These tasks are carried out in structural divisions schools, which include initial vocational training, associations of interest. The latter provide additional education in school subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, and also realize the interests of children in interest associations in various areas (there are more than 40 in the school).

In the implementation of these tasks, the teaching staff proceeds from the essence general education, specifying what kind of knowledge, skills and abilities students should learn: knowledge of economic laws and categories of development of social production, the role and importance of labor in society, knowledge of the economic policy of the state, etc.

The next feature of the school is that it is a collective member of the Association "Education" and the base institution of the Department of Methodology and Theory of Educational Systems and Spaces of the Academy of Pedagogical and Social Sciences.

The school, as a center of educational work, organizes the versatile daily activities of high school students, maintains contact with the family and other educational and educational institutions. Therefore, it is the school that coordinates all efforts in the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students.

The effectiveness of educational work at the present time must be assessed by how much we have managed to prepare students to act independently and make decisions independently. Consequently, in modern conditions, the individual must possess two oppositely directed series of qualities. On the one hand, you need a stable worldview, stable beliefs and value orientations; on the other hand, we need psychological stability, flexibility, the ability to assimilate and process new information not only in youth, but also in adulthood.

The formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students occurs most effectively in the process of purposeful activity. educational institutions, in close connection with the family.

In the course of our study, we turned to the consideration of the issue of criteria, indicators and levels of formation of the readiness of older students to choose a profession.

As you know, "criterion" is a sign on the basis of which something is evaluated, defined or classified; "Measure" - this is how the concept of criterion (119) is defined.

The choice of criteria and indicators is determined by the objectives of a particular study. We have studied the criteria and indicators that are used in the theory and practice of vocational guidance. Vershinin, N.N. Zakharov, E.A. Klimov, M.S. Savina, S.N. Chistyakova singled out the criteria and indicators of the formation of professional self-determination among schoolchildren, according to which its assessment is carried out (26,45,58, 125, 153).

S.N. Chistyakova, N.N. Zakharov singled out the following criteria the formation of professional self-determination: 1) an ideological and moral criterion that implies the presence of socially significant motives for choosing a profession, awareness of duty to society, the desire to bring it as much benefit as possible with one's work; 2) a general labor criterion, showing the presence of interests and respect for working people and any work, the need for labor activity, the formation of general labor skills and abilities; 3) an effective practical criterion, indicating the inclination and ability for a particular type of work activity, the presence of an adequate self-assessment of the correspondence of personal qualities and character traits to the requirements of the chosen profession, the conviction in the need to choose this particular profession (155).

Criteria characterizing the levels of formation of professional self-determination were developed by scientists of the Institute of Labor Training: professional interests, abilities (general and special), motivation, professionally significant character traits, participation in labor activity, knowledge about professions and personal characteristics (66).

E.B. Savina in her study presented the criteria for professional self-awareness in high school students: awareness, stability, focus on a particular profession (125).

S.N. Chistyakova determined the criteria for the readiness of schoolchildren to choose a profession: the social orientation of the individual, interest and inclination to the chosen type of occupation, the degree of practical preparation for activities in the field of personal professional interests. Further, she notes that if each of these criteria includes a number of manifestations of schoolchildren's readiness for career choice, then together they can represent an approximate model of the level of readiness of schoolchildren to choose a profession (151, p. 8).

It should be noted that in the pedagogical literature the concept of a criterion is also used as a basis for a certain conclusion, assessment, judgment.

Enough works are devoted to the study, consideration of the criteria for making a decision on choosing a profession: A.V. Karpova, I.V. Kuznetsova, Yu.M. Zabrodina, V.D. Shadrikova and others. So, A.V. Karpov, as a component of a holistic structure of choosing a profession, considers a system of criteria as a set of requirements for the procedural and productive sides of decision-making; distinguishes decision-making criteria not only in terms of content and type (criteria of attainability, preference, optimality), but also in terms of level (maximum, intermediate, minimum). In addition, in terms of life and professional self-determination, A.V. Karpov notes the criteria for the relationship between the factors of choice; life calling and its fulfillment; awareness of professional intent.

E.A. Klimov proposed a system of empirical criteria based on the establishment of a relationship of consistency between professional plans and inclinations, inclinations and abilities, personal plans of parents (59, pp. 124-138).

You can present the criteria and indicators proposed by modern researchers in the form of a table (see Table 2).

The choice of criteria and indicators is justified by the objectives of the experimental work of the above researchers. It should be noted that we used the criterion of personal readiness developed by scientists.

The researchers of this issue considered that it is logically expedient to distribute the criteria and the corresponding indicators according to the algorithm: personality - knowledge - activity.

CONCLUSION

The humanization and democratization of the pedagogical process, as the most important direction in the renewal of the modern general education school, currently require the creation of conditions for educating the younger generation, preparing them for choosing a profession, and being ready for work.

The implementation of the study, the study of special literature on the formation of readiness for the choice of a profession in the pedagogical process among senior schoolchildren, make it possible to conclude that their application has theoretical and practical significance.

Considering the formation of readiness to choose a profession among older students in the pedagogical process of the school, it should be noted that this problem is not new in principle. But upon a more detailed examination of it, we came to the conclusion that the formation at senior school age (10-11th grade) in the educational process of a general education school (with specialized education) remains insufficiently studied. Therefore, the problem under consideration requires a more in-depth study.

The study of psychological and pedagogical literature, the study showed that the organized educational process in the conditions of a general education school in the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students is a favorable, theoretical basis for their development. The results of the study on the study of pedagogical conditions for increasing the effectiveness of raising the readiness to choose a profession among older students in the pedagogical process of the school made it possible to solve the tasks and prove the hypothesis put forward by us.

The formation of readiness to choose a profession among the majority of senior schoolchildren is characterized by three levels and needs to be stimulated to develop it.

The study noted that there is a real opportunity to increase the level of formation of readiness to choose a profession among older students. This position is confirmed by the findings in this study. high level the formation of readiness to choose a profession of some of the older students.

Conducted research:

1. Allows you to determine the model of formation of readiness to choose a profession among older students in the educational process of a general education school. The developed model of formation of readiness for choosing a profession among senior schoolchildren, in the course of its testing, showed the need to design a process, and also confirmed the objectivity of one of the research objectives formulated.

2. Allows you to identify the typical levels of formation of readiness to choose a profession among older students based on the study of psychological and pedagogical literature and observation in the course of a variety of activities. There are three of them: high, medium, low.

3. Allows you to determine the pedagogical conditions that ensure the formation of readiness in older students to choose a profession in the educational process.

In defining these conditions, we proceeded from the main provisions of the research hypothesis, the leading idea of ​​which was the organic relationship between the two groups of efficiency conditions.

The first group of conditions includes general pedagogical conditions that affect the effectiveness and integrity of the educational process, as well as the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students.

1. The performance by a general education school of functions, both general and specific, inherent only to one or another educational institution.

2.0organization and optimal functioning of educational teams of a general education school as forms of functioning of educational and educational systems.

3. Ensuring a high level of the educational process and assisting each senior student in achieving success in learning.

4. Combining the teachings of older students with a variety of extracurricular activities and creating on this basis the conditions for their comprehensive development.

The second group of conditions, in our opinion, are particular conditions that directly affect the formation of readiness for choosing a profession in older students.

1. Systematic professional diagnostics and career guidance for older students.

2. The systematic inclusion of students in a diverse and consistently developing work, subordinated to the tasks of forming in older students the readiness to choose a profession, the manifestation of creativity in work.

3. The use of gaming technologies for the formation of readiness for choosing a profession among older students.

4. Commonwealth of the school in the formation of senior students' readiness to choose a profession with professional educational institutions, with the leading role of the school.

5.Individual approach to older students in the formation of their readiness to choose a profession.

The experimental work proved the hypothesis put forward that the effectiveness of the formation of readiness to choose a profession among older students will increase significantly if a system of pedagogical conditions is implemented.

An important indicator of the effectiveness of the experimental work was the change in the levels of formation of the readiness of older students to choose a profession in the experimental class. Comparison of the quantitative and qualitative indicators obtained during the experiment allows us to notice that the experimental class of senior schoolchildren, educated at the beginning of the experiment, in the conditions created in the course of our work, advanced more successfully. If at the beginning of the experiment in a class with a high level of readiness to choose a profession there were only 5 students, which was 20.8%, then at the end of the experiment it increased to 17 students, which amounted to 77.3%. The group of schoolchildren with an average level at the beginning of the experiment was 7 people, which amounted to 29.2%, and at the end of the experiment 4 people, which is 18.2%. The low level group consisted of 7 people. at the beginning of the experiment (29.2%), at the end of the experiment it was one student, i.e. 4.5%.

The conducted research does not exhaust all aspects of the problem being covered. They require a deeper study of the problem of the relationship between the family and the school, the implementation of an individual approach in shaping the readiness for choosing a profession for older students and natural connections in this process. We connect the prospects of our further research with the solution of these and other problems.

INTRODUCTION

At present, due to the change in the socio-economic situation in the country, the issue of professional self-determination of high school students, the conditions and factors contributing to the success of this process has become especially important. Professional activity in a person's life is the main one in ensuring his social claims, self-assertion and self-realization.
The transfer of the senior level of a general education school to specialized education puts graduates of the basic school in front of a serious choice - preliminary self-determination in relation to the choice of the profile of education and the main direction of future professional activity. If the key idea of ​​profile education is the idea of ​​significant choices, then it is obvious that the student should be prepared for such a choice. The possibility of preparing for such a responsible choice determines the serious importance of pre-professional training in the basic school. Practice shows that already at the stage of pre-profile training of students, a negative trend has clearly emerged: the psychological unpreparedness of high school students for a conscious independent choice of a further educational trajectory. Psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process in the primary school should ensure the formation of a motivational-required sphere, identify the interests, inclinations and abilities of students, as a result of which, it can contribute to making the best decision regarding their future professional activities. This will prepare students for a professional start.
Today, school graduates are more serious about choosing a profession of the new century, the question of self-determination in modern socio-economic conditions is more acute. The school is designed to ensure readiness to choose a profession, develop professional interests and inclinations of the individual. At the final stage of schooling, high school students should be ready to choose a profession and continue to receive education.
The problem of forming the professional orientation of students in the theory of professional orientation is considered in the works of A.E. Golomshtok, L.A. Yovaishi, E.A. Klimova, E.M. Pavlyutenkova, K.K. Platonov, V.A. Polyakova, N.N. Chistyakova, S.N. Chistyakova, which determine the conceptual provisions, conditions and pedagogical technologies for preparing students for life and choosing a profession. The development of theoretical and methodological foundations of career guidance is presented in the works of P.P. Blonsky, S.I. Vershinin, V.I. Zhuravleva, E.A. Klimova, N.N. Chistyakova, S.T. Shatsky and others.
Humanistic ideas of personality development and the formation of a growing person's readiness to make a decision about a professional choice are reflected in the works of A.G. Asmolova, K.A. Abulkhanova-Slavskaya, L.I. Bozhovich, L.S. Vygotsky, A.N. Leontiev, S.L. Rubinstein, B.M. Teplov. The ways of professional orientation of students in the conditions of a general education school are disclosed in the studies of M.A. Dobrynina, N.K. Elaeva, V.V. Krevnevich, V.R. Lengvinas, P.T. Magmuzova, G.P. Nikova, A.P. Seishtev and others, which define the content, forms and methods of career guidance work.
The possibilities of specialized education aimed at student-oriented preparation of students for the choice of a future profession are considered in the works of L.M. Abolina, E.A. Aksenova, L.K. Artemova, I.S. Artyukhova, L.V. Baibrodova, A.I. Vlazneva, B.S. Gershunsky, M.I. Gubanova, V.G. Katasheva, V.S. Ledneva, P.S. Lerner, N.F. Rodicheva, M.M. Firsova, A.V. Khutorsky, I.D. Chechel, S.N. Chistyakova and others.
Many researchers (V.G. Kuznetsov, M.A. Palamarchuk, A.K. Markova and others) note that the leading component of readiness for professional self-determination is psychological readiness, which is understood by scientists as a complex psychological education, as an alloy of functional, operational and personal components.
However, as practice shows, schoolchildren are poorly prepared for choosing a profession. The most common difficulties and mistakes of young people in choosing a profession are: overestimation or underestimation of the role of certain individual psychological qualities in choosing a profession; inability to correlate their capabilities with the requirements of the profession, inadequate self-esteem; misunderstanding of abilities, substitution of their moral qualities; misconceptions about the possibility of developing professionally important qualities, about the ways and means of mastering a profession, developing an individual style of activity; the predominance of emotional components in the decision-making process; inability to change the decision when new data is received; submission to "pressure" from others; choosing a profession based on sympathy for certain personal, non-professional qualities of representatives of a particular profession.
The urgency of the problem, therefore, is due to the need to provide high school students with effective assistance in choosing their future profession in the light of the new requirements of the political, socio-economic and personnel situation.
The current realities of Russian education require an active search for new forms, methods, means of forming the psychological readiness for choosing a profession for schoolchildren.
An analysis of the practice of general educational institutions shows that high school students experience significant difficulties in choosing a future profession due to ignorance of the technologies of professional self-determination, inability to design their life and professional path in modern market conditions. The professions chosen by graduates do not fully correspond, on the one hand, to the needs of the labor market, and, on the other hand, to the personal psychological qualities of the students themselves.
Thus, contradictions are revealed between:
- the need for self-determination of high school students in relation to the formation of an individual educational request, personal need for choosing a professional activity, readiness for professional self-determination and subsequent self-realization in new economic and socio-cultural conditions and insufficient formation of psychological readiness for professional self-determination among schoolchildren;
- the need to form psychological readiness for choosing a profession among high school students and the insufficient development of effective means for implementing this process.
All of the above is the substantiation of the research problem, which is to identify effective means of forming the psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession.
The topic of the final qualification work is "Means of formation of psychological readiness for choosing a profession among high school students."
The purpose of the study is to scientifically substantiate and experimentally test the means of forming the psychological readiness of high school students for professional self-determination.
Object of study: psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession.
Subject of study: means of forming the psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession.
Tasks:

    To analyze theoretical approaches to the problem of forming the psychological preparation of high school students for professional self-determination in modern conditions.
    To reveal the essence of the psychological readiness of high school students for professional self-determination, to determine the criteria and levels of its formation.
    To identify and implement the means of forming the psychological readiness of high school students for professional self-determination; check the effectiveness of this implementation.
Research hypothesis: we assume that an increase in the level of readiness of high school students to choose a profession may be facilitated by special training sessions, compiled taking into account the personal characteristics of the participants, the level of their psychological readiness for a professional choice, the most common mistakes made when choosing a career by schoolchildren of a particular group.
The methodological and theoretical basis of the study was the works that define the conceptual provisions, conditions and pedagogical technologies for preparing students for life and choosing a profession (A.E. Golomshtok, E.A. Klimova, N.N. Chistyakov); theoretical and methodological foundations of career guidance (P.P. Blonsky, S.I. Vershinin, V.I. Zhuravlev, S.T. Shatsky); studies in which the structure, the main components of psychological readiness for choosing a profession are distinguished, the ways of its formation are built (V.G. Kuznetsov, M.A. Palamarchuk, A.K. Markova).
Research methods: methods of studying the literature on this topic (analysis, generalization, deductive, inductive method, systematization); psychological and pedagogical experiment; testing; qualitative and quantitative data analysis; graphic display of research results.
Research stages:
The study was conducted in three interrelated stages.
At the first, search-theoretical stage, the analysis of the literature on the topic of the study was carried out, the goals and objectives of the study were determined, the subject, object, and hypothesis of the study were formulated.
At the second, exploratory-empirical stage, the actual experimental study was carried out, where the implementation of training sessions aimed at forming the psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession took place.
At the third, final stage, the results of the study were summarized and discussed, their quantitative and qualitative processing was carried out, the theoretical interpretation of the conclusions and provisions of the study, and the literary design of the work were carried out.
Base of the study: the study took place on the basis of the secondary school No. 1
with the inclusion of 20 students of 11 classes. The age of students is 16-17 years old.
The scientific novelty lies in the development of training sessions aimed at the formation of psychological readiness for choosing a profession, compiled taking into account the personal characteristics of the participants, the level of their psychological readiness for a professional choice, the most common mistakes made when choosing a career by schoolchildren of a particular group.
The theoretical significance lies in the generalization and systematization of the material on the research problem, the clarification of the concept of "psychological readiness" in relation to the choice of profession for high school students.
Practical significance - the results obtained can be used by teachers, parents to form high school students' readiness for the right choice of profession.
Approbation of the work was carried out in the form of a presentation with a report on the topic "Means of formation of psychological readiness for choosing a profession among high school students" at the methodological association in the secondary school
settlement Golyshmanovo.
Structure of work: WRC consists of introduction, two chapters, conclusion, bibliographic list, appendices. The work contains 4 tables, illustrated with three histograms. The total amount of work is 68 pages of computer text without appendices.

CHAPTER I

      The specificity of the choice of profession by high school students
Youth is the age when a worldview is formed, value orientations, attitudes are formed. In fact, this is the period when the transition from childhood to the beginning of adulthood is carried out, the corresponding degree of responsibility, independence, the ability to actively participate in society and in one's personal life, to constructively solve various problems, professional development. The choice of a profession at the senior school age becomes, perhaps, the most important, urgent and difficult matter. Psychologically aspiring to the future and inclined even mentally to “jump” over unfinished stages, the young man is already internally weary of school; school life seems to him temporary, unreal, the threshold of another, richer and more authentic life, which both attracts and frightens him. He understands well that the content of this future life, first of all, depends on whether he will be able to choose the right profession. No matter how frivolous and careless the young man looks, the choice of profession is his main and constant concern. At senior school age, the individual appearance of each young person becomes more and more definite and distinct, those of his individual characteristics that in their totality determine the make-up of his personality become more and more clear.
High school students differ significantly from each other not only in temperament and character, but also in their abilities, needs, aspirations and interests, varying degrees of self-awareness. Individual characteristics are also manifested in the choice of a life path. The motives of self-determination and narrow practical ones, in the choice of a profession, acquire a decisive importance in educational activities.
Choosing a profession and mastering it begins with the formation of motivational factors. At this stage, students should already quite realistically form for themselves the task of choosing a future field of activity, taking into account the available psychological and psychophysiological resources. At this time, students form an attitude towards certain professions, the choice of subjects is carried out in accordance with the chosen profession.
At senior school age, children's dreams about a profession are replaced by reflections on it, taking into account their own capabilities and circumstances of life, there is a desire to realize intentions in practical actions. However, some high school students fully live in the present, they think little about their future profession. High school students are interested in the plans of their classmates, discuss doubts, hesitations, they abandon their former dreams as "children's". Many tend to be influenced by established or older friends. From time to time there are disputes and disagreements regarding different professions and where exactly to continue the teaching. The right choice of profession is a complex and lengthy process, covering a significant period of life. Its effectiveness, as a rule, is determined by the degree of consistency of a person’s psychological capabilities with the content and requirements of professional activity, as well as the formation of an individual’s ability to adapt to changing socio-economic conditions in connection with the organization of his professional career.
Thus, the choice of a profession is one of the moments that determine a person's life path. Firstly, it is a long process stretching for several years, and secondly, an event included in the chain of events of a person's professional biography.
According to D. Super, a person should choose a profession taking into account his image of "I" as the actual image of a person, a way of thinking about himself and evaluating himself; intelligence as a structure of general abilities and abilities for learning and learning; special abilities, interests, personal values, both internal (substantive) and external (accompanying the labor process), attitudes towards work, work and profession; needs that determine the motives for choosing a profession and success in this profession, personality traits, as the most common models of human behavior, professional maturity, understood quite broadly.
The success of choosing a profession is largely determined by the psychological readiness of the student to choose a profession, related to:
    with the formation of a professional orientation of the individual;
    adequate self-assessment of abilities;
    realistic level of claims;
    sustainable professional intentions;
    sufficient knowledge about the professions .
Professional self-determination is a long and multi-stage process of choosing a profession by a person, which is reflected in her professional plans. This is one of the main components of the socialization of the individual.
Therefore, at the school level, work on the study and formation of psychological readiness for choosing a profession should be systemic, that is, school administration, and teachers, and school psychologists, and social teachers, and, of course, the students themselves should participate in it. In addition, parents of schoolchildren should actively participate in career guidance.
The problem of choosing a professional and life path confronts a person at an age when he is not fully aware of all the distant, consistent life choices related to work, family, social advancement, material well-being and spiritual development. It is the beginning of a person's independent life path. The first, very important and independent decision has to be made, based not on life experience that comes over the years, but rather on ideas about their future society in which they will live.
In this regard, when making a professional choice, high school students often experience negative emotional states, in particular, states of abandonment, confusion, coercion, which determine the desire to get away from solving the problem of professional choice, postponing it for an indefinite time or shifting responsibility to others: parents, friends, acquaintances.
F. Sedlak, H. Breuer, T.W. Nester identifies 4 types of adolescents choosing a future profession:
Type 1 - indifferent, mercantile;
Type 2 - indecisive, fantasizing;
Type 3 - obedient, irresponsible;
Type 4 - purposeful, confident.
Typical mistakes when choosing a profession for high school students:
1. Orientation of a teenager immediately to a profession of the highest qualification (scientist, diplomat, director, bank manager, etc.).
2. Neglect for professions that are not prestigious, although significant in life.
3. The absence of one's opinion in choosing a profession and making a decision, not of one's own free will, but at the request of parents or other people.
4. Transferring the attitude towards a specific person who is a representative of this profession to the profession itself.
5. Fascination only with the external or any one side of the profession.
6. Transfer of attitude to the subject to the profession associated with this subject.
7. The choice of a profession associated with the choice of this profession by friends.
8. Lack of ability to understand, evaluate their abilities, opportunities in the chosen profession;
9. The choice of a profession, determined by the material considerations of the family and the child himself.
10. High or low self-esteem of one's own personal qualities, which forms the inadequacy in choosing this or that profession.
Thus, the peculiarities of choosing a profession among high school students are that high school students tend to choose the type of activity that would correspond to their understanding of their own capabilities. Since schoolchildren's understanding of their own capabilities is often not adequate to the indicators, failures await them on the path of choice.
High school students are not able to objectively and fully evaluate themselves. Every year, hundreds of thousands of young men and women who have completed their schooling begin to look for the use of their strengths and abilities "in adulthood." At the same time, as statistics show, the majority of young people face serious problems related to the choice of a profession, the profile of further education, subsequent employment, etc. and the reasons are not only in the “closedness” of the labor market for the young and inexperienced, but also in the fact that the vast majority of high school students have very rough ideas about modern market labor, existing professions, are unable to correlate the requirements of a particular area of ​​professional activity with their individuality. Due to a number of objective and subjective reasons, modern youth turned out to be insufficiently prepared for the new requirements of the political, socio-economic and personnel situation. In self-esteem, high school students do not have a single trend: some tend to overestimate themselves, others vice versa. Timely assistance provided to a student in choosing a profession not only helps him to organize directly educational activities (when he consciously studies school subjects that may be useful to him in his future adult working life), but also brings elements of calmness into the attitude of the student to his future (when optimistic life and professional perspective saves a teenager from the temptations of today's life). Such work encourages the student to think about himself, about his future, gives impetus to the activation of self-knowledge, contributes to the formation of motivational factors for the student to choose a profession.
Thus, we have identified specific features of the choice of profession by high school students. They are that the decision to
the choice of professional and life high school students accept, relying not on life experience but on ideas about their future. The features of choosing a profession among high school students also lie in the fact that high school students are not able to objectively and fully evaluate themselves - the understanding of their own capabilities among schoolchildren is not adequate to the indicators, which leads to erroneous professional self-determination.
Typical mistakes were also revealed when choosing a profession by high school students: orientation of a teenager immediately to a profession of the highest qualification; neglect of professions that are not prestigious; lack of one's opinion in choosing a profession and making a decision, not of one's own free will, but at the request of parents or other people; passion only for the external or any one side of the profession; transfer of attitude to the subject to the profession associated with this subject; choice of profession associated with the choice of this profession by friends.
To prevent and eliminate the above mistakes, the professional activities of teachers, a school psychologist and a social teacher, who are called upon to provide high school students with effective assistance in choosing a future profession in the formation of psychological readiness for professional self-determination, are of great importance. We will consider this issue in the next paragraph.
      The problem of psychological readiness for choosing a profession among high school students in the psychological and pedagogical literature
Before considering the problem of psychological readiness for choosing a profession, let us turn to the essence this concept. The concept of "readiness to choose a profession" was considered in the studies of N.N. Chistyakova, T.A. Buyanova, E.M. Borisova and others. Readiness to choose a profession is complex, including physiological, psychophysiological, psychological, and social aspects.
In the psychological dictionary of I.M. Kondakov's readiness for action is understood as “... a form of attitude characterized by a focus on performing one or another action. Readiness implies the presence of certain knowledge, skills, abilities; readiness to counter the obstacles that arise in the process of performing the action; attributing personal meaning to the action performed. Readiness for action is realized through the manifestation of individual components of the action: the neurodynamic formation of the action, physical fitness, psychological factors of readiness.
Readiness for professional activity is defined as a mental state, pre-launch activation of a person, including a person's awareness of his goals, assessment of existing conditions, determination of the most probable methods of action; forecasting motivational, volitional, intellectual efforts, the likelihood of achieving results, mobilization of forces, self-hypnosis in achieving goals.
K.K. Platonov, M.A. Kotik, V.A. Sosnovsky, R.D. Sanzhaeva, L.I. Zakharova, psychological readiness is understood as a mental phenomenon, through which they explain the stability of human activity in a polymotivated space.
According to O.M. Krasnoryadtseva psychological readiness for professional activity is manifested:
- in the form of attitudes (as projections of past experience on the situation "here and now"), preceding any mental phenomena and manifestations;
- in the form of motivational readiness to “put in order” their image of the world (such readiness gives a person the opportunity to realize the meaning and value of what he does);
- in the form of professional and personal readiness for self-realization through the process of personalization.
In the studies of L. A. Odintsova and S. V. Zavitskaya, the following definition of psychological readiness is found:
“Psychological readiness for professional activity is characterized by a personal and pedagogical orientation, which manifests itself in understanding and accepting oneself and another as a unique entity, as well as a motivational and value attitude to the learning process, in which subject-subject relations are realized” .
N. V. Kuzmina believes that psychological readiness for professional activity is characterized by the knowledge, skills and abilities of a specialist that allow him to carry out his activities at the level of modern requirements of science and technology. A.E. Steinmetz defined psychological readiness for professional activity as the process of forming a set (system) of mental formations - ideas and concepts, ways of thinking and skills, motivations, personality traits that provide motivational and semantic readiness and the ability of the subject to carry out professional activities.
ON THE. Aminov and T.M. Chepygova define readiness for professional activity as a combination of a person's professional orientation in a certain area with a real ability to exercise professionally significant skills and abilities in this area. The level of professional orientation is understood, according to N.A. Aminova and T.M. Chepygova, the degree of conformity of the leading motive of profession preference (hence, personal meaning) to the objective content of the profession. Without a sufficiently high level of professional orientation, optimal interaction between a person and his chosen work is impossible. Only under this condition is it possible to predict the successful development of the creative and moral forces of the individual in the labor process. E.I. Medvedskaya suggests that the basis of readiness is a system of attitudes towards the nonjudgmental acceptance of another person. “This means the representation in the professional consciousness of a psychologist of another person as a potential object / subject of his professional activity, or the focus of his professional consciousness on the Other.”
K.K. Platonov, P.A. Rudik, D.N. Uznadze, V.I. Shirinsky define readiness as a concentration or instantaneous mobilization of the forces of the individual, directed at the right moments to carry out certain actions. V.A. Malyako defines readiness as a complex personal formation, a multifaceted and multilevel system of qualities and properties, the totality of which allows the subject to successfully carry out his activities. A.A. Derkach, M.I. Dyachenko, L.A. Kandybovich consider the problem of readiness for professional activity in the personal-activity plane as a manifestation of all aspects of the personality in their integrity, providing the possibility of effective performance of their functions.
P.A. Rudik considers readiness as a complex psychological formation and highlights the role of cognitive mental processes in it, reflecting the most important aspects of the activity performed, emotional components that can both strengthen and weaken a person’s activity, volitional components that contribute to effective actions to achieve the goal, as well as motives behavior .
T.I. Shalavina understands readiness as an individualized reflection of reality, expressing the attitude of the individual to those objects for the sake of which her activity and communication are deployed. Such an interpretation involves the creation in the educational process of situations that provide meaning-creating activity, as a result of which the subjective appropriation of the content of professional training and the holistic personal development of the future specialist take place. As a result, a high level of his training is achieved. From this point of view, readiness is considered as an integrative professionally significant property of a person, which provides her with a developing transition from the system of university training to the system of professional activity and includes a set of professional knowledge, practical skills, personal experience, personal professionally significant qualities.
Despite some differences in views, it is possible to single out the general in the interpretation of the concept of "readiness" - this is a personal form of interpretation of the content of education, a system of integrative properties, qualities and experience of the individual, which has signs of a general theoretical and methodological readiness for professional activity. At the same time, readiness has a certain specificity - these are professional skills and individual style of their implementation, practice-oriented experience of activity, reflection of professional activity.
As can be seen from the review of the literature, the concept of psychological readiness in modern psychological and pedagogical literature is interpreted quite broadly, and for our work it is necessary to specify this concept, to highlight aspects that are significant for our work.
Thus, studying the psychological and pedagogical literature, we found out that scientists, generalizing various approaches to the characterization of the concept of readiness, distinguish three main areas: readiness as a special state of the individual, which manifests itself at the functional level; readiness as an integrative manifestation of the personality, that is, at the personal level; a special psychological state of the individual, which can manifest itself both at the functional and personal levels.
Based on the research of T.V. Nester, in our study, we consider readiness to choose a profession from the point of view of a personal-activity approach and believe that the signs of readiness for choosing a profession are: the subject has the motivation to achieve and a specific idea of ​​the upcoming activity of choosing a profession; the ability to draw up an algorithm of activities and determine the ways of its implementation; Confidence in your strength; the ability to manage activities for self-analysis, self-assessment, analysis of professions and adjust it in the process of choosing a profession.
The leading component of readiness for professional activity is psychological readiness, which is understood by scientists as a complex psychological formation, as an alloy of functional, operational and personal components. Psychological readiness is traditionally understood as a mental phenomenon, through which the stability of human activity in a polymotivated space is explained.
Depending on the definition of psychological readiness for professional self-determination, various authors single out its structure, main components, and build ways of its formation.
So, M. M. Kashapov believes that its defining component is professional thinking, therefore, the formation of psychological readiness is built through training in analysis techniques.
V. G. Kuznetsov, M. A. Palamarchuk, S. F. Stupnitskaya believe that professional orientation and the formation of professional abilities (professionalism) determine psychological readiness.
A. K. Markova determines that professionalization, including psychological readiness, as a multi-channel process goes in several directions at once - motivational and operational spheres are formed through training and education. Psychological readiness for professional activity in this case is characterized by the dynamics of changes in the motivational sphere of the individual, the formation of professionally significant attitudes in it, the change in the value-semantic structure of the individual's worldview.
V. V. Sogalaev notes that the structure of psychological readiness includes motivational, orientational, emotional-volitional, personal-operational and evaluative-reflexive components.
IN AND. Baidenko, speaking about psychological readiness for professional activity, uses the concept of “basic skills” as “personal and interpersonal qualities, abilities, skills and knowledge that are expressed in various forms in diverse work situations and social life. For an individual in a developed market economy, there is a direct correspondence between the levels of basic skills available and the possibility of obtaining employment.
In the list of basic skills in accordance with the definition, the authors include: communication skills and abilities; creation; ability for analytical thinking; ability for creative thinking; adaptability; ability to work in a team; ability to work independently; self-awareness and self-esteem.
Thus, psychological readiness to choose a profession is a complex process, including physiological, psychophysiological, psychological, and social aspects. Based on the analysis of studies of psychological readiness for choosing a profession among older schoolchildren, we have identified the most important, in our opinion, components of this phenomenon: cognitive-evaluative and regulatory-behavioral.
The cognitive-evaluative component includes: the presence of a stable professional interest, awareness of the requirements of the profession for the individual, adequate self-esteem, compliance of abilities with the requirements of the profession.
The regulatory-behavioral component includes:
- the presence of an initial professional plan;
- understanding the social significance of the chosen profession, responsibility for choosing a future profession;
- the desire to realize their educational and professional choice, the presence of meaningful life orientations;
- the presence of emotional-volitional self-regulation of behavior.
Based on the works of well-known psychologists related to research in the field of psychological readiness for activity (B.G. Ananiev, L.S. Vygotsky, S.N. Chistyakova, etc.), psychological readiness for a conscious choice of the future educational profile and profession in adolescence, age is determined by: formation of information; motivational-value and practical components of this readiness.
Information readiness includes awareness of schoolchildren:
- about the world of professions;
- about the labor market;
- about the presence of one's own practical readiness and abilities for mastering the chosen profession or the profile of the chosen education;
- about ways of planning and implementing their professional plans;
- about methods of decision-making in a situation of choice.
Practical readiness includes:
- availability of practical knowledge and skills necessary to continue education in the chosen profile;
- the ability to make a choice (identifying alternatives for obtaining specialized education that meet one's own needs and capabilities; assessing their advantages and disadvantages; choosing the best option from the available options).
Motivational-value readiness is understood as:
- emotional involvement in the selection process;
- the desire and desire to make your choice;
- the formation of self-esteem, adequate to personal abilities and capabilities;
- the presence of value orientations and goals related to the further profile of education and future profession.
In addition to psychological readiness (internal state of the individual) to choose a profession, the readiness of high school students is manifested in the form of knowledge, skills and competencies necessary in the profession, in studying the requirements that the profession imposes on a working person, in the awareness of high school students themselves in this profession. N.E. Kasatkina attributes such readiness to external readiness or to its pedagogical aspect and believes that such readiness is a prerequisite for a successful choice of profession.
We agree with the opinion of researchers who believe that the concept of "psychological readiness for choosing a profession" includes:


Thus, the analysis of the problem of psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession made it possible to formulate the following conclusions:

- a stable state of the student's personality, which is based on a dynamic combination of certain properties, including the orientation of interests and inclinations, his practical experience and knowledge of his characteristics in connection with the choice of profession;
- inner conviction and awareness of the factor of choosing a profession, awareness of the world of work, of what physical and psychological requirements the profession imposes on a person”;
- the ability to know individual characteristics (the image of "I"), analyze professions and make decisions based on a comparison of these two types of knowledge, that is, the ability to consciously choose a profession.
In this regard, the issue of choosing effective means of forming the psychological readiness of high school students for choosing a profession is very important. We will consider this issue in the next paragraph.

1.3. Means of formation of psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession

Under the means of forming readiness for choosing a profession, we mean subjects that have three important characteristics:
- firstly, in order for this or that subject to play this role, it must contain human culture, and this is natural, because the process of education is the process of its transmission and assimilation;
- secondly, this culture should be contained in them in a concentrated form, because only then can they be used effectively in the educational process;
- thirdly, the most necessary condition for this effectiveness is the pedagogical processing of the culture embedded in educational means, otherwise its assimilation will be inaccessible to pupils with their certain age and individual characteristics.
The choice of means in various aspects of the formation and development of a personality depends on the tasks of this aspect; when they are used, they acquire a specific content. Such a selection of means with the appropriate content also occurs when organizing the formation of psychological readiness for the choice of a profession among older students - means that can affect the formation of readiness for professional self-determination of the individual come to the fore.
The task of the psychologist in this situation is to give the student the psychological means of resolving his personal problems associated with determining the versions of further education. Based on the diagnosis of these psychological problems, psychologists can help a student make a choice of a profile class or provide prerequisites for making a professional choice.
Before providing this assistance, it is necessary to realize the purpose and meaning of its provision, to clearly understand the prospects and limitations of personality development, depending on the choice of further training profile.
One of the main goals of modern vocational education, according to L. M. Mitina, is the development of interest and the need for self-change.
The modern conditions of society require a change in the strategy of professional adaptation to a strategy of professional development. Society needs a professional who knows his business, who is able to independently make decisions and be responsible for these decisions, for himself, for others, for the country, who knows how to take risks, create, create.
But in order to become such a professional, many young people at the stage of choosing a profession, and before the profile of training, need psychological help, psychological support.
L. M. Mitina in her book “Psychological support for choosing a profession” distinguishes between two main forms of psychological work with an optant: adaptive and developing. The most common types of adaptive are diagnostic, behavioral and psychoanalytic professional consultations. Diagnostic professional consultation is based on the three-factor theory of career guidance by F. Parsons, the main provisions of which he formulated back in 1908. He proposed to distinguish three phases of career guidance work with an optant: the first includes the study of mental and personal characteristics, the second involves studying the requirements of the profession and formulating them in psychological terms, and the third involves comparing these two series of factors and deciding on the recommended profession. Thus, it is assumed that there is a strong relationship between human characteristics and professional requirements. The very choice of a profession is seen as a search for a correspondence between the requirements of the profession and individuality. The attractiveness of such a scheme is in its external simplicity and, it seems, logicality.
At the same time, according to N.K. Martina, adherents of the diagnostic approach make a significant miscalculation when they decide the fate of a person, choosing for him who he should be, thereby excluding the optant himself from the decision-making process. The researcher believes that it is unlawful to make a decision based on the results of a diagnostic examination alone, without taking into account changes in the world of professions and the prospects for personal development.
The behavioral (educational) concept of vocational counseling is based on the notion of a more or less unequivocal conditionality of human behavior by a set of external influences. According to supporters of the educational concept, any person can be trained in any profession, you just need to choose the right one effective methods vocational training. Hence the main goal of the consultation is to study the individual characteristics of the optant and organize the most optimal conditions for learning. This concept looks more attractive because more takes into account the huge opportunities for developing abilities. But she completely ignores the data obtained in the theory and practice of differential psychophysiology. The existing natural and little-changing individual differences between people can be favorable for the formation of professional suitability in some professions and become an insurmountable obstacle for others.
Psychoanalytic consultation is based on the principles of identifying the subconscious impulses of a person and selecting for him such professions in which they could manifest themselves to the greatest extent. The main principle of such consultation is the complete rejection of any methods of self-education and self-development. The main thing is to accept yourself as you are, unconditionally and calmly, without dramatizing the need for self-restraint when refusing those professions that require “remaking” yourself.
The classical types of another form of vocational counseling are humanistic and developing (activating). Humanistic professional consultation is based on the principles common to humanistic psychology of creating a special situation of interaction between the optant and the consultant (client-centered approach), including the complete “acceptance” of the consulted person, the possibility of free statements about oneself and one’s problems, which allows one to approach a conscious and independent decision-making. For all its external attractiveness, such a scheme did not take root in practice. Firstly, because this type of professional consultation requires considerable time for its implementation, and secondly, during such a consultation, its subject is most often lost, the main goal is to work with a person, provide psychological incentives, conditions for its development, which in itself extremely important, but has no direct access to the choice of profession. However, some of the principles of humanistic psychology are included in counseling by supporters of a developmental approach to counseling, allowing for the optimal relationship between the optant and the counselor.
Developing (activating) professional consultation is devoid of the main drawback of adaptive one - it does not exclude the activity of the subject himself from the process of solving a vital task, but is considered as main factor right choice. Its main goal is to activate the process of formation of the student's psychological readiness for professional self-determination, unobtrusive psychological support for choosing a profession and preparing for it.
The main principle of developing professional consultation is to implement a new approach to the use and interpretation of psychodiagnostic methods. It is necessary to give a new meaning to this work. Along with the traditional task of psychodiagnostics - determining the current state of development of the student's individuality, it follows:
a) use its results to stimulate the student's needs for self-knowledge and self-improvement in line with preparation for their professional work in the future;
b) to identify shortcomings, gaps in the development of certain qualities, abilities that are important for future professional activity;
c) to make a decision on the nature of corrective and developmental work in order to prepare for a future profession;
d) to control the development of the required qualities, abilities after correction or training;
e) to determine the restrictions in the choice of the sphere of professional activity, which imposes strict requirements on the psychophysiological characteristics of the individual.
The second principle is to refuse to build up an arsenal of psychodiagnostic methods and focus on the development and application of special training and correctional programs, psychotraining systems, problem-game and educational-professional situations.
And, finally, the implementation of the principle of cooperation between the optant and the consultant by introducing elements of a humanistic approach to professional counseling. The success of the consultation largely depends on whether it is possible to establish a trusting relationship with the student. Any pressure, directive tone, imposing one's opinion is unacceptable. The emphasis should be on explaining that the choice of a profession will only be right when it is conscious, independent, and when it is preceded by a lot of painstaking work on self-knowledge and the study of the world of professions.
Psychological support for choosing a profession should be based on the norms and laws of human mental development. One of the fundamental categories for developmental psychology is the category of age (L. S. Vygotsky, D. B. Elkonin). Psychological work with an optant is designed to create an opportunity for students to productively solve the central tasks of age and psychologically competently introduce them into the meanings, purpose, values, content of professional activity, the features of its development and implementation, to ensure the transformation of the student from an object of pedagogical influences into a subject of professional education, which means provide conditions for the professional development of the individual at all stages of the life path.
Having studied these psychological forms of work, we came to the conclusion that the psychological support for the choice of a further profile of training for high school students should be based on the norms and laws of human mental development, while it is necessary to strictly take into account changes in the world of professions and the prospects for personal development, study of the individual characteristics of children, teaching them methods of self-education and self-development. In our opinion, a student who is on the verge of choosing a training profile should be actively involved in the process of solving this vital task, and the results of psychodiagnostics should be used to stimulate the needs of students for self-knowledge and self-improvement in line with preparing for their professional work in the future. Thus, we agree that in general educational institutions the process of forming the psychological readiness of students for professional self-determination should be activated, and the psychological support for choosing a further profile of education should be carried out unobtrusively.
Readiness to choose a profession is, firstly, the internal awareness of the very fact of choice and the certainty of professional interests, and secondly, the student's awareness of his abilities and what physical and psychological requirements the profession imposes on a person. In this regard, an important role in solving the problems of vocational guidance for schoolchildren is played not only by diagnostic methods, but also by methods of psychological correction, during which the student's inclinations, on the one hand, and his capabilities, on the other, become obvious.
The specificity of the difficulties associated with professional self-determination, education and further employment of young people in modern conditions requires the search for new forms of work to solve these difficulties.
One of the main areas of work of a psychologist with high school students is career guidance, development of readiness for professional self-determination. The main goal of psychological support for the professional self-determination of young people in a market economy is, in our opinion, young people's awareness of their autonomy and their acceptance of responsibility for their educational trajectory and career. An autonomous person has an idea about his abilities and interests, advantages and disadvantages, about possible objective obstacles and ways to overcome them. In general, she is distinguished by an active life position and an attitude towards achieving success.
The basis for choosing a profession today is the individual's ideas about the future, which take her beyond the current situation and are a program for her development. An autonomous person is oriented in the world of professions: he realizes the meaning of professional activity, knows the requirements of professions and the prospects for their development, is able to coordinate professional activity with other important life contexts (family life, hobbies, etc.)
The behavior of an autonomous person in the labor market presupposes a general orientation in the socio-economic situation, knowledge of vacancies, as well as the skills of finding a job, writing a resume, passing an interview, etc. A person who is not ready to meet the requirements of reality turns out to be unclaimed. A relative balance between labor supply and demand can be achieved with professional competence. Thus, the vector of career guidance work should be shifted from the position of "Who to be?" to the position "What to become?".
So, in addition to a person's own social experience, an attitude can be a product of spontaneous or purposeful communication, especially those types of mass communication that involve a high degree of empathy for ongoing events.
Professional attitudes express the personal activity of the subject of activity and refer to semantic attitudes that arise in the course of general and professional development.
For an effective professional choice, it is necessary: ​​differentiation of the self-concept of the subject of professional development, self-confidence; rationality of solving life problems; achieving autonomy; future orientation; formation of professional interests and general labor skills; some practical experience. Based on the description of mature professional attitudes, diagnostic tools for their individual-specific manifestations are constructed.
Thus, the personal professional plans of a school graduate, his abilities and inclinations are often not taken into account when choosing a specialty. The opinion of relatives, the position of friends, comrades, the presence of one or another educational institution in locality. Few people can make a conscious choice of specialty and educational institution. For most young people, the choice of a profession is based on stereotypes existing in society, which makes it difficult to find oneself in the world of professions and creates psychological difficulties.
The choice of a profession implies that the student has information of two kinds: about the world of professions in general and the possibilities and requirements for each of them; about himself, his abilities and interests.
Career guidance correctional development work with high school students can be carried out in various forms: in the form of developing games and exercises (they are held throughout the school year, in class hours and extracurricular activities); in the form of big games and professional self-determination trainings.
Psychological training as a means of active socio-psychological training is currently one of the most popular and dynamically developing types of psychological work. Trainings are widely used in providing psychological help adolescents in professional self-determination. Training sessions allow you to effectively solve problems related to the development of communication skills, self-control and self-knowledge, and the activation of creative potential. These aspects are very relevant in adolescence. This is not only a period of problems and contradictions, but also a time of increased plasticity of the psyche, readiness for development and susceptibility to influence, maximum openness to new life experience.
Training is a special kind of learning through direct "living" and awareness of the experience that arises in interpersonal interaction, which is not reducible either to traditional learning through the transmission of knowledge, or to psychological counseling or psychotherapy. In this kind of learning, the learner comes into direct contact with the reality being studied, and does not just think about meeting it or thinking about the possibility of "doing something with it."
We believe that psychological training is active agent learning through the acquisition and comprehension of life experience, modeled in interpersonal interaction. Training allows you to gain experience, on the one hand, in the most “concentrated” form, and, on the other hand, in psychologically safe conditions that facilitate its comprehension. Training as a means of forming psychological readiness for choosing a profession is aimed at helping participants master any activity. The subject of the work is a system of human relations to professional activity, as well as communication skills necessary for becoming a professional.
Thus, in this paragraph, we have identified such means of forming psychological readiness for choosing a profession, such as professional consultation, professional diagnostics, games and trainings for professional self-determination. In our study, we single out training as a possible effective means of forming psychological readiness.

Conclusions on Chapter 1:
The specific features of the choice of a profession by high school students are that high school students make decisions about choosing a professional and life based not on life experience, but on ideas about their future. High school students are not able to objectively and fully assess themselves - the understanding of their own capabilities among schoolchildren is not adequate to the indicators, which leads to erroneous professional self-determination.
Typical mistakes in choosing a profession by high school students are the following: orientation of a teenager immediately to a profession of the highest qualification; neglect of professions that are not prestigious; lack of one's opinion in choosing a profession and making a decision, not of one's own free will, but at the request of parents or other people; passion only for the external or any one side of the profession; transfer of attitude to the subject to the profession associated with this subject; choice of profession associated with the choice of this profession by friends.
The concept of "psychological readiness to choose a profession" includes:
- a stable state of the student's personality, which is based on a dynamic combination of certain properties, including the orientation of interests and inclinations, his practical experience and knowledge of his characteristics in connection with the choice of profession;
- inner conviction and awareness of the factor of choice of profession, awareness of the world of work, of what physical and psychological requirements the profession imposes on a person;
- the ability to know individual characteristics (the image of "I"), analyze professions and make decisions based on a comparison of these two types of knowledge, that is, the ability to consciously choose a profession.
Psychological readiness to choose a profession in adolescence is determined by the formation of the informational, motivational-value and practical components of this readiness.
We have identified such means of forming psychological readiness for choosing a profession, such as professional consultation, professional diagnostics, games and trainings for professional self-determination. In our study, we single out training as a possible effective means of forming psychological readiness.
The theoretical analysis of the research problem allowed us to formulate a hypothetical assumption: we assume that an increase in the level of psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession may be facilitated by special training sessions, compiled taking into account the personal characteristics of the participants, the initial level of their psychological readiness for a professional choice, the most common mistakes allowed when choosing a career by schoolchildren of a particular group.
The second chapter of the final qualifying work is devoted to the experimental verification of the hypothesis put forward.

CHAPTER II. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO CHOICE A PROFESSION

2.1. Diagnostics of the psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession

The purpose of the experimental study was to test the hypothesis that an increase in the level of readiness of high school students to choose a profession may be facilitated by special training sessions, compiled taking into account the personal characteristics of the participants, the initial level of their psychological readiness for a professional choice, the most common mistakes made when choosing a career by schoolchildren. specific group.
The experimental study was conducted on the basis of 11 classes with the inclusion of 20 students (10 - control group and 10 - experimental).
A list of students participating in the study is provided in the appendix.
The experiment consisted of three stages:
The ascertaining stage - the diagnosis of the initial level of formation of the psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession was carried out.
The formative stage included work on the formation of the psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession using special training sessions.
The control stage is devoted to the analysis of the results of the study of the effectiveness of the formative work carried out.
To diagnose the levels of formation of the psychological readiness of high school students to choose a profession, the following criteria and indicators specifying them were used: cognitive (information), motivational-need, activity-practical:

    cognitive - the degree of students' understanding of individual psychophysiological qualities; the degree of familiarization with the content of the chosen professional activity; the degree of awareness of the possibility of obtaining advice from career counselors about the ways of the necessary education, about places of work; the degree of students' awareness of general and special professionally important qualities;
    motivational-need - the nature of the motivation and activity of students; awareness of the personal and social significance of the future profession; connection of interests with value orientations; the intensity of emotional experiences, volitional efforts, attention;
    activity-practical - the ability of students to correlate their individual characteristics and professional requirements of a given profession; possession of the basic methods of work.
etc.................

O. A. Kapin

The article is devoted to the analysis and clarification of the concept of "readiness to choose a profession" and the specification of the structure of this type of readiness. Various types of readiness are considered: readiness to study at school and university, readiness to choose a profession. An analysis of approaches to determining the readiness structure made it possible to single out two key components: personal (internal position) and operational.

Keywords: readiness for activity, readiness to choose a profession, readiness structure, internal position, operational readiness component.

A Structure of Psychological Readiness to Choose a Profession

The article is devoted to the analysis of the concept "readiness to choose profession" and structure concretization of the given type of readiness. It also considers various types of readiness: readiness to study at school and a higher educational institution, readiness to choose the profession. The analysis of approaches to determine the structure of readiness allows to single out two key components there: personal (the inward position) and operational, and to specify their content.

Key words: readiness to work, readiness to choose a profession, a structure of readiness, the inward position, the operational component of readiness.

The requirements of society and the labor market for modern teenagers put them in a situation of choosing a profession quite early. Previously, the system of general secondary education was arranged in such a way that decision making could be postponed until grades 10-11. Today, due to the intensive modernization of the system of general secondary education, the urgent need to decide on the choice of profession arises already in the 9th grade, and from the 10th, specialized profile preparation for entering a vocational educational institution begins, preparation for the Unified State Examination in major subjects that provide an opportunity receipts. At the same time, age-related needs remain relevant for a teenager: communication with peers, finding oneself, personal searches. Thus, having not fully realized the needs of adolescence, the subject finds himself in a difficult critical situation of choosing a profession, which he is far from always ready to overcome constructively and make a conscious choice. This determines the relevance of the problems of research and the formation of readiness for choosing a profession.

Readiness for activity is a concept that has been sufficiently studied in the psychological literature.

tie. IN general view readiness is a synthesis of psychological phenomena, such as the mood of the individual before the implementation of activities, the internal position of the individual, readiness for activity. Let's take a closer look at this concept.

S. L. Rubinshtein presents readiness as an attitude of personality. “A person’s attitude,” writes S. L. Rubinshtein, “is the position taken by her, which consists in a certain attitude to the goals and tasks that are standing and is expressed in selective mobilization and readiness for activities aimed at their implementation ... This is adaptation to activity. The formation of an attitude presupposes the entry of the subject into the situation and the acceptance of the tasks that arise in it; it depends on the distribution of what is subjectively significant for the individual.

This definition, in our opinion, is very close to the concept of the internal position of the individual, which was studied by L. I. Bozhovich. An analysis of the concept based on the works of L. I. Bozhovich shows that by internal position she means single system real motives in relation to the environment or any of its spheres, self-awareness, as well as attitude towards oneself in

context of the surrounding reality. Thus, D. V. Lubovsky concludes, the internal position is the unity of three components - reflexive, emotional and motivational. In addition, in the studies of L. I. Bozhovich, devoted to psychological readiness for school, the internal position is recognized as the lowest actual level of mental development, necessary and sufficient to start schooling.

The internal position is closely connected with arbitrary self-regulation of activity. So, N. I. Gutkina, analyzing readiness for schooling, notes: “In order for behavior to be consciously regulated, a person must want to do something, or understand why he needs it.” L. I. Bozhovich also writes about this, describing the process of self-determination of older adolescents: “... the presence of stable personal interests in a teenager makes him purposeful, and, consequently, internally more collected and organized” . As E. M. Borisova notes, older adolescents mainly choose those types of activities in which they have made some progress. This speaks, according to the author, of an attempt to direct their interests to those areas of activity in which they have certain achievements and therefore further progress is possible.

In addition to the internal position and the arbitrary self-regulation of behavior associated with it, an important component of readiness for activity is the general abilities of the subject, his knowledge, skills, experience. This point of view is shared by A. K. Markova, V. D. Shadrikov, S. N. Chistyakova, M. V. Retivyh, N. F. Vinogradova.

As convincingly proved in the studies of V. D. Shadrikov and Yu. P. Povarenkov, any activity is mastered on the basis of general abilities. It is the abilities and experience of the subject that determine the effectiveness and success of the performance of the activity. The integral manifestation of abilities, knowledge and skills, according to V. D. Shadrikov, is intelligence, the level of which is determined by the level of development of individual abilities, the availability of knowledge, plans, programs and their connections and the integral nature of functioning.

In domestic psychological science, the intellectual properties of a person are most often

are interpreted as mental development, which depends both on the maturation of the organic basis that creates the prerequisites for development, and on the assimilation of social experience. Based on the opinion of L. S. Vygotsky, one can even say that the most significant is the ratio of the level of preparation and development of the subject to the level of requirements that society imposes. Such requirements in domestic science are represented by a socio-psychological standard. So, for example, K. M. Gurevich characterizes the socio-psychological standard of schoolchildren as a set of specified requirements curriculum that are presented to them at a certain stage of learning.

Thus, in the structure of readiness for activity, 2 main components can be distinguished - personal (internal position of the subject) and operational (arbitrary self-regulation of activity, mental development and experience). Besides, in various types readiness, specific components can be distinguished, depending on the characteristics of the situation in which the subject is located. So, for example, N. V. Nizhegorodtseva and V. D. Shadrikov in the structure of readiness for learning at school distinguish 5 blocks of educationally important qualities: personality-motivational, acceptance of a learning task, idea of ​​the content of activity, information, management activity . E. I. Rogov includes a socio-psychological component. Considering the readiness to study at a university, S. N. Kusakina includes motivational-professional, cognitive-tempo and volitional components in its structure.

Analyzing the readiness to choose a profession, N.V. Nizhegorodtseva and O.A. Tarotenko define it as an integral property of individuality, the structure of which includes individual qualities that encourage, guide, regulate real activity, which develop unevenly and heterochronously. S. N. Chistyakova defines this concept as a stable complete system PVC of the person, which includes positive attitude to the chosen type of activity, the availability of the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities.

M. V. Retivyh understands it as an integral property of the personality, contributing to the conscious and independent implementation of the strategy of professional choice, which is manifested in moral, psychophysiological and practical

tic readiness for the formation and implementation of professional intentions.

Based on such ideas, readiness to choose a profession can be characterized as a systemic quality and the following structure can be assumed. The content of the internal position includes a motivational aspect - professionally oriented interests, inclinations, preferences, values ​​of a teenager. The reflexive aspect presupposes, first of all, the awareness of what a teenager wants and what he can really achieve, critical assessment of his capabilities and awareness of personal responsibility for the events of his life. The emotional aspect characterizes the attitude of the subject to the choice of a profession, the emotional acceptance of this situation, a positive attitude towards activity.

In the structure of the operational component of the readiness of the subject, we consider the features of self-regulation of activities, in particular, the ability to set a goal, plan activities for choosing a profession, the ability to make informed decisions, to search for the necessary information. Of no small importance is the level of mental development of adolescents, its compliance with the socio-psychological standard, as well as training and learning ability, which characterizes their readiness to master the program of profile or vocational education.

This approach to understanding the readiness to choose a profession suggests that it is a system in which the lack of formation of one of the components can lead to the failure of the entire system. This, in turn, can make it possible to individually describe the problems of adolescents in a situation of choosing a profession and find an individual way to accompany the subject, based on the specifics of his problems.
