The specialized training influence to the choice of further direction of study is considered in the work. The assumption that early involvement of students in the study of natural and mathematical disciplines, in particular mathematics is given. It will stimulate young people to get STEM education in future. The essential element in future professional choice, development and formation is the issue of motivation for learning. It is important that modern students are gradually losing their incentive to study. Almost a third of those who choose the appropriate study profile have contradictions between professional self-determination and the availability of the necessary knowledge for the profession, between choosing a higher education institution and being able to enter in it. The contradiction requires purposeful formation of a conscious choice of future activities. The conducted research has shown that the basis of the motivational component of the choice of STEM-learning is studying of natural and mathematical disciplines by modern teaching technologies and organizing of additional lessons system based on the projected teaching methods. It satisfies the growing needs for intelligence, knowledge, motivational beliefs to understand the specifics of the future profession.

This paper is based on the results of research related to a problem of professional self-determination formation and person’s professional typology construction, and devoted to how the knowledge of students’ individual-psychological and social-psychological features will allow during training in higher education institution not only adequately use natural tendencies and abilities, but also to help in formation of activity’s individual style allowing to compensate a lack of some components development by development of others ones. As a result this will allow solve effectively the same professional problems by people with various combination of operational components in person’s structure. Therefore in this case it is appropriately to focus attention on the typological approach to person’s features similarity studying under the profession influence, and, taking this approach as a basis, a more flexible studying of this problem is offered, assuming the possibility for existence of several types in the same professional community. Therefore, there is an opportunity for dynamic development of person’s qualities in the presence of strongly expressed motivation to professional activity. This direction of researches is especially topical in connection with political and social-economical transformations in society, and introduction of professional standards, demanding essential changes in training of specialists. Nowadays there is rather serious gap between employers’ requirements in the labor market, and knowledge and skills which are gained by graduates during the training. The professional standards regulating requirements to work’s quality and content and being an obligatory element for an assessment of graduate’s training quality and his readiness for the future professional activity only describe necessary parameters, without answering a question how these parameters may be created at the youth choosing the certain profession, taking into account person’s specific features. If the person’s professional choice is defined by random factors and there is no activity’s individual style formation during the training, such mistakes will be cost much in the future to both the person and the higher education institution.

The article presents the results of research on the relationship of readiness for professional self-determination and self-regulation in the context of building a professional perspective. The author reveals the specifi cs of professional self-determination in the period of study at a higher education institution. As a result, empirical studies have identifi ed differences in readiness for professional self-determination in accordance with the development of self-regulation skills in adolescence. Students not ready for professional self-determination are characterised by a weak formation of modelling processes, a focus on the hedonistic present, distrust of the world, and most often low self-esteem. Students ready for professional self-determination can distinguish signifi cant conditions for achieving their goals, focus on the future, and they are characterised by the ability to plan and achieve future goals. The author also revealed that the feature of professional selfdetermination of modern students is the great fl exibility of professional intentions, the mobility of interests, but the ability to self-evaluate their own abilities and capabilities, mastery of a certain type of activity remains at a rather low level. As a result, a considerable part of young men and women have unrealistic or unrealisable plans, an abstract, insuffi ciently meaningful, inconsistent, contradictory idea of a professional perspective.

Introduction. The formation of professional self-determination of high school students and the associated choice of vocational education is an urgent problem of the modern school. This paper examines the possibility of pedagogical support to solve this problem by the example of the formation of ideas about IT education and IT professions at a level sufficient for their conscious choice in Russia. The tools discussed are the school Computer Science course and, more broadly, teacher-led non-formal education in the field of computing.The aim of this article was to analyse the factors affecting the conscious choice of high school graduates of IT professions and types of professional IT education, and the possibilities of pedagogical support for the formation of this choice by means of informatics education, implemented by means of a modern information and educational environment.Methodology, methods and materials. A systematic approach was applied, i.e. not only school but also subsequent stages of professional development of students were analysed. The leading theoretical methods were the analysis of the knowledge system, generalisation, identification and resolution of contradictions in the process of self-determination of students in the IT profession. Empirical methods for collecting, analysing and interpreting empirical data were also employed. The analysis of academic publications, documents and statistical data was carried out.Results. It is shown that the main reasons for the low level of formation of the professional self-determination of high school students in the IT profession are the following factors: insufficient attention paid in the school Computer Science course to the technological aspects that underlie most of the IT professions; lack of awareness of labour functions in IT professions; lack of awareness of the content of training in various areas of higher IT education and the focus of these areas on specific IT professions; ignorance of the real demand for the country’s economy in various IT professions.The school course in Computer Science can become a system-forming beginning in the formation of professional self-determination of high school students in the IT profession, but in its current state, it does not fully fulfill this function. The reasons are the inability to provide everyone, who wants to study Computer Science in high school at an in-depth level, the neglect in this course of the technological aspects of computing that underlie most of the IT professions, and insufficient use of the information resources of the information and educational environment of modern non-formal education.One of the ways to solve this problem is to supplement the Computer Science course with a special pre-professional training module, which will purposefully acquaint students with IT professions, with information technologies that underlie these professions, as well as the types and the content of the most popular areas of professional IT education and their connections with IT professions. To implement such a module, in addition to traditional forms of education, distance and network learning can be used, including with the involvement of university teachers and employees of leading IT companies.Scientific novelty. For the first time, the problem of pedagogical support for the formation of professional self-determination of senior high school students in the IT profession has been investigated.Practical significance. The obtained results can become the basis for improving school informatics education for the full fulfillment of the task to develop the professional self-determination of students in the IT profession.
