Abstract
The paper is devoted to the results of research into professional perceptions of students of the Polytechnic university in the context of their professional formation and self-determination. The first- and second-year students of the bachelor’s degree program (60 people) took part in it. In the course of the research, the indicators of the level of formation of professional perceptions were studied. The most important factors that the respondents had in choosing a profession, the success of a future professional as well as their professional intentions were analyzed. At the initial stage of professional education, students’ perceptions of their chosen profession are not filled with the subject content, are fragmented and limited. There are differences in the level and structural indicators of professional perceptions between men and women. Men’s professional perceptions reflect a practically focused approach and an expressed desire to discover their own personality in their future professional activity. Women’s professional perceptions have a pronounced emotional coloring and are oriented to the communicative side of their professional activity and their contribution to the public interest. The results of the research confirm the need for a targeted job to develop professional self-consciousness of the would-be specialist. In the curriculum, subjects can be distinguished, in the process of mastering which there is a targeted work on restructuring the perceptions of the chosen field of the professional activity. Such subjects may become a platform for monitoring, making it possible to track transformation of the system of professional perceptions and development of professional self-determination of would-be specialists.
