THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE CONCEPT OF GOAL-FOCUSED PROFESSIONAL SOCIALIZATION OF STUDENTS AT A PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

In accordance with its objective, the article identifies and substantiates the theoretical aspects of the concept of targeted professional socialization for students at a pedagogical university. These aspects represent a set of theoretical perspectives containing key categories that reveal the essential characteristics of this process. As students progress through the stages of targeted professional socialization, they develop new social roles essential to their professional teaching activities, which are tested in teaching practice and socially applied projects. The article presents an experimental study demonstrating the feasibility of updating the targeted process of professional socialization. The verification of the concept and the results obtained are described. During the experimental testing, students defined their professional intentions in a reflective essay and then completed specialized tasks aimed at professional socialization.
