Description
Summary:In the article the author describes the results of diagnostic work with firstyear students-psychologists. The aim of the article is to highlight the results of empirical research of individual typological features of first-year studentspsychologists, taking into account the indicators of professional formation: professional identity, motivation of professional activity and specificity of professional self-realization and activity of the profession of psychologist. A bank of diagnostic tools was used for the study, that included the following methods: «Questionnaire for revealing the level of professional orientation and readiness of students to professional activity» (O. Kokun), the technique «Motivation of professional activity» (K. Zamfir, modifications by A. Rean), the technique «The Research of professional identity» (L. Schneider), the test «Who am I?» (M. Kun, T. Markpartland; in Rumiantseva’s modification), the test «Individual-typological questionnaire» (L. Sobchyk). The choice of methods is conditioned by the concept of E. Zeer about four components of professional formation. Thirty first-year students-psychologists of Kherson State University participated in the study. According to the results of the study, the correlations were formed between indices of individual typological characteristics with pronounced motivational component to professional activity, level of professional identity and self-esteem of the individual. Conclusions. The first-year students tend to be approved in a social group; social relations, position in the team and relationships with teachers are significant at this stage of age development; the achieved professional identity is formed in only one third of the respondents. The first-year students have the best motivation complexes, at this age period the professional achievement is not a priority, but the formation of one’s identity is significant.
