DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ SELF-DETERMINATION CULTURE IN THE “CHOOSING A PROFESSION FOR THE FUTURE” PROGRAMME

The article is devoted to a significant topic related to the professional self-determination of the younger generation. It reveals the problem that, despite the urgent need in the digital age for a new type of professionalism based on becoming a subject of professional self-determination, standard career guidance programmes are largely based on the concepts of professionalism from the last century, which are only being modernised by introducing certain flexible skills such as navigating large amounts of information. The article demonstrates the need for a new model of professionalism based on a reflexive-
positional model of the development of subjectivity in choice, as well as aimed at forming the ability to envision the future as an essential part of project thinking. The article presents experimental results that confirm its effectiveness in developing a culture of self-determination and forming subjective attitude towards choosing a future profession.
