Description
Summary:The article examines the problems of professional self- development among undergraduates in the digital space, identified during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the study showed that students have characteristics that are necessary for further personal growth. They want to know themselves and ready to change and learn new things, improve themselves. Conducted during a pandemic and distance learning in self- isolation showed that 50% of students expressed satisfaction with this form of education, explaining their opinion with a high level of independent search for the necessary information, opportunities for self-development, self-realization, and self-improvement. Among the difficulties of distance learning, all surveyed identified: search and critical analysis of digital information; communicative dissatisfaction, the need for approval. The surveyed students in their self-development need a micro- and macro- environment that would create a secure creative educational space. It is necessary to search for new solutions to overcome psychological barriers associated with the need for self-development as future highly qualified specialists in the context of modern trends in the development of digital education.
