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.

Анализируется рефлексивность как основа самопознания и понимания себя субъектом в будущей профессиональной деятельности. Проанализированы психологические особенности профессионального становления личности в юношеском возрасте, рассмотрена специфика проявления рефлективности, выделены уровни ее развития и определена роль в профессиональном самоопределении старшеклассников. Эмпирическое исследование проведено на выборке 244 учащихся (136 девушек и 108 юношей, средний возраст - 16 лет). В исследовании были использованы: тест на выявление профессионального типа личности Дж. Холанда в модификации (Г.В. Резапкиной); методика «Мотивы выбора профессии» Г. Овчаровой; методика определения уровней развития рефлексивности А. Карпова; методика «Дифференциальный тип рефлексии» Д.А. Леонтьева и эссе на тему «Роль прошлого, настоящего и будущего в моей жизни». По результатам пилотажного этапа исследования выделены три группы респондентов с разными показателями рефлексивности. Количественный и качественный анализ показателей рефлексивности и профессионального самоопределения старшеклассников позволил установить специфическое соотношение указанных характеристик. Результаты исследования могут стать основой для развития рефлексивности старшеклассников и для создания программ актуализации их профессионального самоопределения. The analyzes reflexivity as the basis of self-knowledge and understanding of oneself as a subject in future professional activity. The psychological features of the professional formation of a personality in the youth age were analyzed, the specifics of the manifestation of reflexivity were considered, the levels of its development were singled out and the role in the professional self-determination of high school students was defined. An empirical study was carried out on a sample of 244 students (136 girls and 108 boys, average age - 16 years). In the empirical study, the following were used: the test to identify the professional type of personality of J. Holand in a modification (G.V. Rezapkina); the method «Motives for Choosing a Profession» by G. Ovcharova; Karpov's method to determine the levels of development of reflexivity; the technique «Differential Type of Reflexion» by D.A. Leontiev and the essay «The Role of the Past, Present, and Future in My Life». In the course of the empirical study, three groups of respondents with different indicators of reflexivity were identified. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the indexes of reflexivity and professional self-determination of high school students allowed us to establish a specific correlation of these characteristics. The results of the research can become the basis both for the development of the reflexivity of high school students and for the creation of programs to actualize their professional self-determination.

The article presents results of theoretical and empirical study concerning peculiarities of professional self-determination of high school students. It is shown that state of health is a factor, which determines conditions of personal socialization and peculiarities of its professional self-determination. Investigation of peculiarities of professional self-determination of visually-challenged high school students and students, who do not have any medical conditions, was carried out at special needs (correctional) comprehensive boarding school of Type III-IV (city of Saratov) and comprehensive secondary school located in Ivanteevka village (Saratov region) (n=50). We applied the following set of methods: «Differential-diagnostic questionnaire» by е. а. Klimova, «Orientation» questionnaire by V. е. Sigachyov and м. N. Rossokhach, questionnaire «Future Social Status». Comparative analysis showed that visually-challenged high school students underestimate their abilities; they are oriented towards a relatively narrow range of professions. Needs for self-realization and development of one’s abilities dominate in the structure of needs linked to future profession. Students without any medical conditions have a tendency to overestimate their abilities; the leading motive of their professional choice is the desire to achieve material wealth. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be realized in organization of psychological and pedagogical assistance to high school students aimed at the development of adequate visions concerning their personal abilities and their correlation with specific professions.
