Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of the influence of life and professional self-determination on the formation of the personality of a future specialist in early adolescence, readiness for professional activity in the process of studying at a higher education institution.
The author analyzes modern approaches to the process of professional formation of a future specialist in the current conditions of studying in higher education institutions.
The importance of realizing the responsibility for competent design of one's life and professional path in the process of professional development and the formation of such a subjectivity based on the reflection of one's own self-changing is considered.
It has been found that the partnership educational dialogue in the teacher-student system is only an external guide for the latter, directing his/her efforts to find the meaning of his/her life. At the same time, the activation of the reflection mechanism helps to transfer this process to the internal plane, which makes it personally significant. This, in turn, intensifies the construction of various programs of one's life path: personal development, professional formation or career growth, creative expression, development of certain abilities, achievement of harmonious development or spiritual perfection, etc.
It is emphasized that a future specialist should be aware of his/her responsibility for competently designing his/her own life and professional path; take care that the profession he/she has chosen becomes a “matter of life” for him/her, to which he/she will be devoted and about which he/she will care more than about protecting his/her “I”.
The life and professional value orientations of respondents are analyzed. It is emphasized that values are motivational competencies, certain guiding and accelerating motives of human behavior, activity, including professional activity.
It is proved that giving a professional orientation to the life aspirations and motives of the behavior of a higher education student is an important moment in the formation of the personality of a future specialist-philologist, the formation of stable life views, professional beliefs.
