SENSE-LIFE ORIENTATIONS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AS PREDICTORS OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE MARITAL STATE

Abstract

Identifying predictors of professional self-determination of high school students and their relationship with meaningful life orientations during the period of martial law in Ukraine is important for predicting the effectiveness of this process under the conditions of modern multi-level education. At the same time, knowledge of the composition of predictors of professional self-determination is relevant for the organization of support and support for the professional and personal development of high school students.

The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of the connection between the indicators of the meaning of life and the formation of professional intentions of high school students in the context of professional self-determination in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine. 73 students of grades 9-11 of Khmelnytskyi Educational Complex No. 9, Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine, took part in our study. In order to diagnose the professional intentions of students, the questionnaire "Professional Intentions" and the "Sense-Life Orientations" test (methodology of SLO) by D. Leontiev were used. Additional information about the respondents was obtained with the help of the author's questionnaire, which included questions about the availability of professional, extracurricular education, and experience of initial work.

By means of cluster analysis, the sample of respondents was divided into three groups of levels depending on the degree of awareness of life. The first cluster was characterized by low values on all indicators of significan life orientations, the second cluster combined an average level, and the third cluster was characterized by the highest indicators on all scales.

The study showed the presence of connections between indicators of life awareness and the degree of formation of professional intentions of high school students regarding the choice of a future profession. In this case, the following indicators of life awareness were determined as predictors of the formation of professional self-determination: the presence of life goals, vocations, intentions and an active attitude to the profession. Thus, the formation of professional self-determination is determined by the presence of conscious aspirations and a non-passive attitude to the chosen field of activity. The results of the study can be used in the organization of support for professional self-determination of high school students as part of career guidance work in general secondary education institutions.
