The current situation in the education system requires a revision of the content of work with such a non-standard category as gifted children. Many scientists are aware of the importance of gifted and talented children as the future scientific elite and the engine of the country's progress. Most studies identify a number of difficulties in the social development of the gifted, including the difficulties of communicating with peers and adults, the complexity of personal self-determination, and often the difficulty of professional self-determination. In this regard, the study of issues of professional selfdetermination is seen as an urgent problem that requires psychological and pedagogical consideration. As practice shows, most organizations of additional education have successful and interesting experience in working with gifted children, who later turn out to be prize-winners and winners of the olympic and competitive movement. In 2019– 2020 we conducted a study in which 156 students of senior school age took part. With the help of a questionnaire, we studied and identified the features of professional selfdetermination of gifted high school students in the conditions of additional education organizations in the city of Kostroma (Multi-subject school for the gifted) and St. Petersburg (Academy of talents). In addition, we have revealed some influence of the chosen programs of additional education on the professional choice of young people. The results of the study have shown that additional education plays an important role in the professional self-determination of gifted students, and there is a certain relationship between the profile of future professional activity and the choice of a particular association in organizing additional education.

Work with gifted students requires a teacher to have special personal and professionally important qualities and creativity occupies a special place among them. A creative teacher can understand the peculiarities of behavior and worldview of a gifted child and possesses the competencies of organizing further development of the creative activity of special children, as well as their relationships with peers. The study is based on the concepts of axiological, humanistic, systemic, and activity approaches, the theory of convergent and divergent thinking, the teachings of an individual as a person and subject, of creativity as a process and a result, the creative nature of a teacher’s work, and theories addressing the creative essence of personality. The stage of university training is deliberately chosen for the study of the problem of development of a teacher’s creativity as a foundation for work with gifted students since the student age is the most sensitive period of this process. In the process of higher education, the development of a future teacher’s creativity in conjunction with their professional and personal qualities is essential as a condition for effective work with gifted students. The identified key psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of creativity in professional activity focused on work with gifted students include the professional activity orientation of future teachers to work with gifted children, professional knowledge, skills, and competencies focusing on gifted children, and psychological qualities of professional importance for work with gifted students. The article provides a specified definition of creativity, characterizes the signs of a teacher’s creativity, and describes the patterns, conditions, and stages of development of a future teacher’s creativity in the educational process in a higher education institution. The directions for further scientific theoretical and practical activities in the process of development of a future teacher’s creativity in parallel with training to work with gifted children are proposed. A promising direction of work is determining the ways to combine the operational and substantive sides of a teacher’s activity in work with gifted children.

The article discusses the problem of self-actualization of a personality in its professional activity and achieving the peak of its personal development. Based on the analysis of various psychological theories and concepts it is shown that achieving of “acme” by a personality is based on the desire to grow and develop professionally or on its desire for self-actualization. Self-actualization can be better seen during the periods of professional crisis, which activate the processes of professional self-determination of a personality. One of the types of crisis is the transition from the level of normative requirements to the level of professional competence. Judging by the example of results of some investigations it is proved that there are differences in attitude to profession and desire to grow and develop professionally in people with working experience under and over 5 years, which can be conditioned by the crisis mentioned above. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be realized in counseling practices of psychological services connected with professional growth, by HR professionals, with the aim of promotion and professional growth of employees, and in development of programs for development and harmonization of internal and external conditions for self-actualization of a person. Key words: self-actualization, potential, professional self-actualization, acme, professional development, professional crisis, achievement motivation, career orientations.

Introduction. The article deals with the problem of identifying the resources of teachers – form tutors, focused on working with gifted students. This problem is considered in the context of the methodological shift from the classical to the post-non-classical scientific paradigm, from the “deficit model” to the model of “success and resilience” (S. Maddi, Ph. Hiver). A review of modern research on the problems of professiogenesis of form tutors is carried out.Aim. The aim of the present research was to empirically test the possibilities of a resource approach to the study of personal and existential-psychological aspects of the activities of teachers working with gifted children.Methodology and research methods. The methodological framework of the research is based on the provisions of the subject-activity, existential-psychological approaches to the development of the personality, to its being formation. Based on the analysis of the literature, personality traits (professional consciousness, creativity, a picture of the world, ego-identity, resilience, and others) are identified. These personality characteristics can be considered as the resources for professional development of teachers – form tutors. The severity of various types of reflection and their ratio are determined on the basis of a differential reflexivity questionnaire by A. V. Karpov and V. V. Ponomareva. The profile of ego states was built using the transactional questionnaire of D. Jongeward (in V. K. Kalinenko’s and V. A. Petrovsky’s adaptation). The Existence Scale developed by A. Langle, K. Orgler (revised by S. V. Krivtsova, I. N. Majnina and A. Yu. Vasanov) was applied for the diagnosis of indicators of existential performance as a person’s quality of life associated with a feeling of fullness of life with a particular meaning, free choice and responsibility. The features of hardiness and a method for solving the existential dilemma were identified using the S. Muddy’s Hardiness Survey (modified by D. A. Leontiev, E. I. Rasskazova).Results. The outcomes of an empirical study of the ratio of personal and existential resources of the professional activity of teachers working with gifted students are demonstrated. Significant differences were revealed in the manifestation of hardiness and reflexivity in relation to form tutors with different types of personality ego-structures. Factor analysis made it possible to identify two factors, which demonstrate the existential-psychological and personal resources of the activity of form tutors working with gifted students: “existential choice of a new professional experience” and “detachment from externally given rhythms and attitudes”.Scientific novelty. The empirical capabilities of the existential-psychological, subject-activity and resource-based approaches to the study of the problems of the psychology of giftedness and the professiogenesis of teachers are tested.Practical significance. The demonstrated results can be used as part of a programme for developing the resources of professional activity of teachers working with gifted students.

The key concepts that assist to reflect the essence of the process of professional self-realization of police officers have been determined. The professional self-realization of the personality, which is determined by the value and sensory, intellectual and motivational features of the personality, has been studied.

The main point of the studied process is the search for a professional image of “oneself”. It has been noted that the key stages of professional self-realization’s formation are: choice of educational institution, place of work (professional self-determination), subsequent choice of the type and direction of activity, formation within the chosen profession, professional growth, which reflects the effectiveness of professional self-realization. Thus, successful self-realization within the profession is based on a reasonable choice of place of study and future profession, continuous professional self-growth and self-development within labor activity, as well as satisfaction with the way of professional life and career.

The article gives the author’s definition of the concept of “professional self-fulfilment of the teacher”, which means a personal strategy of a teacher’s professional activity, aimed at improving their personal qualities and developing their professional competencies. The structural and content components of the professional self-fulfilment of the teacher have been determined: self-understanding, self-actualization, self-identification, self-design, self-organization and self-regulation. It has been proved that each of the six components carries its own function, being central at a certain stage of professional development, determining the course of the teacher’s personality development, and moving at the next stage to a “subordinate” position when it becomes a mechanism for the implementation of a new stage of the teacher’s professional self-fulfilment. Self-knowledge is an activity specially organized by a teacher, the purpose of which is to identify one’s own potential capabilities, actual needs, life meanings in the aspect of professional activity. Self-actualization is an activity specially organized by a teacher, the purpose of which is self-understanding, self-awareness of one’s own uniqueness in professional activity. Self-identification is an activity specially organized by the teacher, the purpose of which is self-identification with one of the self-actualizing professional portraits. Self-design is an activity specially organized by the teacher, the purpose of which is to develop an individual educational trajectory in the direction of his “ideal self-teacher”. Self-development is an activity specially organized by the teacher, the purpose of which is positive self-change of the individual in the direction of his “ideal self-teacher”. Self-presentation is an activity specially organized by the teacher, the purpose of which is the teacher’s presentation of his intermediate and final results.
