Research of teenagers’ professional motivation in the process of career guidance for pedagogical specialties
Studying the problem of professional self-determination shows that adolescents recognize the value of work, but few school leavers are motivated to work according to their professional vocation due to personal inclinations and abilities. The main reason for the unstable relationship of personality and work is a contemplative motivation formed on an unconscious level. The practising teacher is offered a method of professional diagnostics of personality motivation (using the example of a teacher’s work), which represents a complex needs analysis according to the following criteria: the hierarchy of personal needs, ways of their self-actualization and the degree of satisfaction. A motivational portrait of a personality has been compiled, which allows a teacher to guide a teenager to choose a teacher’s profession and predict the effectiveness of their future professional activity.
