The concept of research is based on the needs of a network of practice bases, based on the use of theories and concepts of psychology, sociology, pedagogy, social work and other humanities, the study of laws and approaches to understanding the content of interprofessional interaction.The content of the research concept is to develop a procedural model of training professionals in the social sphere to interprofessional interaction and implemented on 2 levels: theoretical-methodological and practical, each of which is represented by a set of scientific approaches.The methodological basis of the research is systematic, terminological, socio- systematic, structural-activity and synergetic, sociological, and competent methodological approaches.The result of obtaining future specialists in the social sphere of high-quality vocational education is a set of acquired in the higher educational institution acquired competences in the process of learning: educational-cognitive, interpersonal interaction, communicative, intercultural, socio-cultural and technical (skills).The structure of the content of vocational education, which includes the following components: social, psychological and pedagogical, methodical, is defined in order to determine the effectiveness of the training of future specialists in the social sphere at a higher educational establishment. Determining the role of interdisciplinary material in the classroom will help to understand the nature of the interaction between the elements of individual disciplines - linear (new knowledge serves to deepen the already acquired); the opposite (new knowledge specifies or directs the assimilated earlier information); problem (new knowledge creates conditions for solving educational problem). Correct building classes will help to understand the nature of content relationships that can be synchronous, reproductive, and promising. In practice, an interdisciplinary approach can be implemented in two main areas: the relationship between different sciences (disciplines), without violating their autonomy, uniqueness, originality; interdisciplinaryism acts as a real tool for the consolidation of sciences (disciplines), the further development of which is crucial for both science and education.The chosen integration methodological approach of the study does not exclude the trilateral structure of the marked interprofessional interaction in the form of a combination of motivational, target and implementation (executive) planes. The result of obtaining future specialists in the social sphere of high-quality professional education is a set of acquired in the process of studying in the institution of higher education competencies. This is evidenced, in particular, by the analysis of professionally important competences that, according to respondents, should be characteristic of specialists in the social sphereThe results obtained prompted us to investigate, and what, according to experts, is the basis of interprofessional interaction.

Background. The current social situation in Ukraine demands the researches of objective and subjective conditions that determine the professional development of teachers in general and the development of their professional reflection in particular, which are related to the real system of professional training of students at higher school. Objective – to analyze the reflection as one of the psychological mechanisms of self-control, which, in turn, ensures the personal growth of a future teacher. Materials and methods. There were analyzed the results which had been obtained for the component «experience of reflection» of teachers (128 teachers of Rivne State University of the Humanities were participated in the empirical part of the research. The research lasted during 2017). Methods of the research – analytical, empirical, statistical. Results. The authors of the article identified four levels of professional self-determination of the first-year students who studied at higher school: 1) a high level of professional self-determination is the manifestation of a multi-component professional motive; the presence of a clear idea of the image of a teacher with a lot of professionally relevant qualities; the development of objective self-esteem, active and positive attitude to the profession and the purpose of studying at a higher school – at last to become a professional teacher. Students with a high level of professional self-determination formed a group of «well-professionally oriented» students: 2) middle (potential) level of professional self-determination – the manifestation of two-component professional motive (stable desire to become a teacher, the ability to work with people); the development of active and positive attitude towards the profession and the purpose of studying at a higher educational institution to become a teacher of a foreign language. Students with a potential level of self-determination were classified as «professionally oriented»; 3) low level of professional self-determination – the manifestation of one-component professional motive (the desire to become a teacher), which in its content – amorphous, unstable, because in its basis – only the emotional attitude to the profession («like – do not like»); the perception of the pedagogical profession is superficial, fragmented, and, as a result, passive-positive attitude to the profession and objectives of studying at a higher educational establishment. Students with a low level of self-determination made up a group of «weakly professionally oriented»; 4) very low level of professional self-determination – manifestation of uncertain attitude to the profession, self-restraint from it; motives and goals of entering higher educational institutions can be regarded as emotionally cognitive-orientated («just interesting», «may be like», «try»). These students formed a group of «professionally non-oriented» ones. Conclusions. Subjective conditions that influence the development of professional reflection of future teachers of a foreign language were such as: professional orientation of the person in his/her future activity; the development of intellectual abilities; students’ activity in their professional development and mastering of professional reflection.

Along 17 applications designed from the 4C&rsquo;s (Content, Cognition, Communication and Culture), and the methodology collaborative work, students showed a significant progress in using communicative and cognitive abilities according with the development performances. The used tests to evaluate students&rsquo; English level showed from the statistical data analysis, applying T-student test, that initiating the process the mean of the control group was significantly higher than the mean of the experimental group, and posteriorly to CLIL approach applications, a mean improvement of the experimental group was observed becoming statistically similar to the mean of the control group. The research results provide a pedagogical path to strengthen bilingualism processes and to contribute with graduate&rsquo;s communicative competences in a foreign language.
