Abstract
The process of professional self identification of high school students plays an important role in the personal becoming and thus is a part of self-concept. While in high school age not only the knowledge, skills and abilities are assimilated, but also professional genesis is conducted, which involves the formation of professional identity. Empirical investigation of the shaping of professional self identification involved the following methods: Professional status» by G. Marcia, «The motivation of professional choice» and a test by J. Holland «Vocational personality types». The selected methods helped to study the formation of professional self identification of high school students. The results showed that a large percentage of students in the sample have chosen their future profession. However, the study found that there is a small percentage of students who, while in their last school year, have not yet decided who would they like to become in the future. Their uncertainty is affected by a variety of factors (results of external independent testing, of the families’ financial status, health conditions, lack of awareness of the modern labor market requirements, low intellectual development, false claims about the prestige of professions and others). Therefore, this study made it possible to study the formation of professional self identification of high school students. We see the prospects for further research in the development and implementation of the methods, forms of career guidance that will contribute to a positive resolution of the crisis of self-determination of high school students and to their reaching the state of professional identification.
