VALUE AND MEANING CONCEPTS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PROFESSIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION IN CONDITIONS OF TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY ^{[№ 2 ' 2024]}
Everyone is well aware of the new requirements for professional self-determination, which are occurring against the backdrop of a number of destructive changes that characterize the inconsistency of vocational education with the expectations of consumers of its services and the rapidly changing requirements of the labor market. Teachers in the school community are not fully prepared to create in high school students a readiness to study and systematize information about the professional world, the system of new professions, how to build scientific and educational knowledge in dialogue with the world of work and professional culture. The current situation in the educational community predetermines the relevance of value and semantic guidelines for the professional self-determination of students, not only within the framework of choosing a future profession, but also within the framework of significant professional qualities. Philosophical justification is carried out within the framework of many concepts and approaches, while these concepts are widely found in various fields of activity. From the position of A.S. Kravets, there are two conceptual lines of understanding meanings and values within the framework of the activity approach. The first line is semantic — it connects meanings with the content of human thought, its correct design. The second line reveals meanings — as human values. Proponents of the polysemy of values and meanings of professional self-determination (E.F. Zeer, E.Yu. Pryazhnikova, etc.) reveal the concept as a special type of activity of senior schoolchildren with designated motives and goals that form a special space of classroom and extracurricular activities that generalize all ideas about future professional activities. The modern leading model of professional self-determination is built on such descriptors as meta-subjectivity, continuity, quality, which is important for every profession. A meaning-forming system of values and meanings of professional self-determination (personal, professional, life) is important for the development of a culture of professional success, for motivating professional growth; enrichment of professional competence; ensuring well-being; professional behavior and professional career prediction by high school students. The values and meanings of professional self-determination are revealed within the framework of the conceptualization and practice of classroom and extracurricular activities.
