Introduction. The article analyzes the problem of professional self-awareness, and the influence of this phenomenon on the process of personal and professional self-development of students. A theoretical study of this problem has shown that professional self-awareness is one of the most important prerequisites for the self-development and self-improvement of university students. Materials and Methods. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the characteristics of self-awareness and self-development of students of the Mordovian State University. A set of methods was used: questionnaire “Ability for self-development” I. V. Zvereva, methodology “Readiness for self-knowledge and self-development” T. A. Ratanova, N. F. Shlyakhta, test “Determination of the level of development of reflexivity” by A. V. Karpov, “Questionnaire of self-attitude” by V. V. Stolin, S. R. Pantileev, methods of researching self-assessment by S. A. Budassi, test “Assessment of self-control in communication” by M. Snyder, questionnaire “The style of self-regulation of students’ behavior” by V. I. Morosanova. Results. Statistically significant correlations between the reflexive, affective and regulatory components of students’ self-awareness and the level of their personal and professional self-development were revealed. It has been found that a high level of development of students’ reflective qualities is associated with their desire for self-knowledge. The connection between self-regulation and readiness for self-knowledge and self-development determines the ability of students to carry out systematic and purposeful work on themselves. It is shown that students with high and above average levels of self-development are aware of the changes taking place in the structure of their personality in the process of vocational training. These students are characterized by higher indicators of reflexivity, self-attitude and self-esteem compared to students with low and below average levels of self-development. Discussion and Conclusion. The results obtained confirm the assumption that personal and professional self-development is conditioned by the students’ ability to reflect and realize their personal and professional qualities.

The article considers the theoretical aspects of self-development, presents generalized results on the characteristics of the concept of “professional self-development”, in particular, in order to identify trends in its scientific definitions, uses content analysis as a method of quantifying qualitative features of information. It is established that the greatest significance is inherent in the definition of “professional selfdevelopment” as a continuous process of objectification of essential forces (synthesis of intellect, feelings, willpower, value orientations, etc.) of the individual in professional activity that is creative and socially useful for self-realization in the chosen profession, achieving objectively high results in accordance with internal subjective norms and criteria. The readiness of a teacher for professional self-development is considered by the author as an integrative characteristic of personality which combines motivational-value, cognitive-intellectual and operational-activity determinants of continuous qualitative changes in professional activity which generally ensure significant career results in accordance with modern requirements. The basis for readiness of a teacher for professional self-development is regarded as a specific system of indices of the formation of attainments, skills and qualities necessary for further efficient self-development of a teacher. Based on the study and analysis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical literature. the structure of the readiness of a teacher for professional self-development is determined. Motivational, cognitive-intellectual and activity components are specified. They are interconnected and complementary which should be given attention to in the scientific and methodological work. The leading functions of the readiness of a teacher for professional self-development (informational, motivational, meaningful, reflective, communicative, and normative) are identified. It is noted that the main mechanisms of the readiness of a teacher for professional self-development are self-knowledge, self-determination, self-identification, self-organization, self-education, self-regulation, focus on professional and creative self-realization in the pedagogical activity, and self-assessment. It is determined that professional self-development of teachers is their conscious self-knowledge and selfdesign activity in scientific-methodological work. The urgency of forming readiness of teachers for professional self-development in the system of postgraduate education as a necessary condition for the growth of their professionalism at the stage of dynamic social and transformational processes is emphasized.

The article, based on the presented empirical material, reveals the problem of professional self-attitude and its types among teachers with different levels of expression of conscious self-regulation. The study covered 157 teachers of comprehensive schools of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Ugra. The age of the examined is from 31 to 45 years. We used the technique “Attitude to yourself as a professional” and the questionnaire “Style of self-regulation of behavior”. On the basis of the obtained results, it was proved that the processes of conscious self-regulation are interconnected with the magnitude of activity and positivity of professional self-attitude of teachers, as well as that subjects with different levels of self-regulation (high, medium and low) differ in the dominant types of attitudes to themselves as a professional. It has been shown that the more developed regulatory processes are, the more active and positive the professional self-presentation of teachers is – a higher level of claims, combined with a positive representation and acceptance of a professional, expressed by the installation on professional self-development. It was revealed that teachers with a low level of self-regulation are distinguished by a passive-negative attitude towards themselves as a professional, while teachers with a high level are characterized by an active-positive attitude towards themselves, with the dominance of positivity, and teachers with an average level of self-regulation have a pronounced balanced professional self-attitude. It has been established that for the regulatory process of “programming”, the installation on professional self-development is of leading importance, while for the regulatory process, “flexibility” is a significant indicator - the idea of oneself as a professional.

The development of a person's creative self-realization is one of the main guidelines for the modernization of the modern Russian education system. However, an analysis of the content of curricula, programs, the state of the modern practice of teaching students of colleges of culture and arts enrolled in specialties related to musical art, indicates a lack of attention of teachers to the problem of creative self-realization of students. Mastering by students of musical and compositional activity can contribute to their successful mastery of the means of musical expression, finding their own methods of creative self-realization. The author of the article concludes that the process of development of creative self-realization among students of colleges of culture and arts in musical-compositional activity is a gradual transition from self-knowledge and self-assessment by students of their capabilities in the implementation of this activity, through the formation of their skills and abilities of musical improvisation, composing music, developing motivation for self-development, developing creativity, for self-assertion of students and self-assessment of the results of musical and compositional activity. The article presents a methodology for the development of creative self-realization of students of colleges of culture and arts in musical and compositional activities, including: forms of education - small-group, individual and practical classes; forms of extracurricular activities - a music room, a music lecture hall, a creative workshop; teaching methods - observation of music, research, brainstorming, author's introspection, associative, portfolio; techniques - explanations of one's own actions, feedback, reflection; methods and techniques of creative work - combination, transformation, sketch work.
