Summary: The authors of the article considered the problem of
giving professional direction to high school students. Also there are the
features of giving psychological advice guidance and there is given a
description about types of psychological advice.
Currently, the
problem of unemployment among young people in career choices of senior students
is because of their not paying attention on their future professions.
Accordingly, this problem requires professional advice in choosing the future
profession. Therefore, the theme "peculiarities of psychological
counseling in the professional direction of high school children" is
relevant to state and society.
To determine
the future profession, containing direction to the citizens in the future - one
of the urgent issues today. President of Kazakhstan N. Nazarbayev mentioned on
his appeal to people of Kazakhstan about "making the unified system of
assessing the level of knowledge and skills of each student." This problem
is shown in the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan about "Education"
as one of the main tasks of the education system. The contribution of the
teacher-psychologist of the school in the solution of this problem is very
important. Because, to reveal all the abilities and capabilities of the
individual, to teach them a healthy lifestyle, creating a culture of
communication for the psychological development of students taking into account
peculiarities of their conscious choice of future profession psychologist
should help.
Currently, one
of the main problems of the state is education, to improve this education we
should start the guidance of professional direction of students in school. The
choice of profession of the high school students is their main problem. His
right choice will be helpful for himself and for society too.
Professional direction
includes a variety of issues, including: social, economic, legal,
psychological, pedagogical, medical, physiological, and involves cognitive
issues. People get bored of their professions when they chose the wrong ones.
When you are not satisfied with your job it makes you to change your job, to
prepare a new worker is company's expenses.

The meaning of
forming the relationship that are needed in all works by identifying the
psychological characteristics of all children is very deep. In connection with
the organization of psychological service in schools for all students,
individual psychological characteristics of personality of each child,
interests and abilities, personal qualities and processes of cognition can be
fully evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively.
There are many
reasons formed the basis for the definition of their future profession of each
person. D.Super among the researches
identified the following articles which are basis for the choice of profession:
- every person characterizes with the inherent ability,
interest, behavior;
- related to this characteristics people can be able
to do few works;
- the point of view to his profession, skills, the
impact on them of objective and subjective factors changes related to human's
life experiences;
- look at the choice of profession takes place in
several stages;
- the evolution of attitudes on the profession is
related to parents' social-economic status, individual characteristics and
abilities associated with the specialty training;
- there are many opportunities in management
capability, management and development in stages of formation of child's
desires;
- the value of specialty is the implementation and
development of "I"-conception;
- psychological counseling and correction make "I"-conception and
the truth to stand together;
- if human has opportunity to show his capacity and
ability in works it satisfies human and is the main reason to achieve the
skills.
To show the
professional direction is a dedicated work by teachers, psychologists and other
employees that helps to develop the abilities and professional interests of
pupils taking account of the aptitudes of each pupil.
The main tasks
of career guidance in school:
- to teach students more about professions;
- to explore the individual characteristics of each student
in order to develop professional interests and aptitudes;
-to help the students to choose the profession;
- adaptation of students towards a certain kind of
profession.
I.S. Konzhas
highlighted identification of professional characteristics in psychology into
several stages:
1st stage – a children's game, during the game the
child as a behavior of individual elements, playing in various professional
roles.
2nd stage – admonished student that he likes the
profession related to fantasizing how it feels representative of the same
specialty.
3rd stage – the choice of profession of the student.
Sorts of different activities. Evaluates them from the standpoint of passion to
another, then, depending on their abilities, then the evaluation system is
considered from the point of view.
4th stage – practical to choose a profession to his
liking, a decision that includes 2 main components; level of qualification of
the future work, the scope and duration of the preparation, the choice of a particular
specialty.
In our view
young people should do practical and psychological training before choosing the
profession.
We need
professional advice to choose the profession. There is felt weakness in the
centers in many cities of Kazakhstan where people give advice about
professions.
Choosing
profession isn’t only social problem, but psychological problem as well. There
are main psychological notions. As given below:
-The stability of human mind and its practical
invariability relies on this, on possibilities and achievement of human
abilities and actions. On one hand choosing the right profession which will
match labor needed and on the other hand, the work which suits the abilities of
a person.
-It comes from an idea that the needed abilities of
any human can be divided in some way. Those two approximations can be
classified differently, but it is the lack of their mutual methodology that is
personal capabilities and labor action. They are viewed as two sovereign and
opposite to each other concepts. Even then, one of them is dependent to other.
-Separate manner classifying research in this action,
namely oneness of actions and mind.
The system of
giving professional direction consists of professional information,
occupational educational work, career advice and professional adaptation and
selection. Professional information – one of the main forms of giving direction
in middle school. Through professional information students receive notions
about importance and meaning of various types of professions. Students are
introduced to requirements given to people through profession. Ideas about
career features and it’s place in society are given.
Professional
information is very complex and versatile work. It is led by taking into
account the need of specialists in every economical area and it’s future
development. The content, organization and methods of professional information
is different for every age group.
Therefore, it should be led by keeping in mind the age traits of
students. For example, in elementary school it should be presented in direction
of loving and respecting labor instead of choosing career. In 5-8 grades
students’ purview should be broadened, they should be introduced to popular
types of professions that are needed in that economical area. And in 9-11
grades attention should be paid to learning about every profession in depth and
developing abilities to get interested in one of the specialties. Main types of
activities for students at this time: optional classes, technical clubs, clubs
aimed to choose various specialties, etc.
One of the
most popular types of professional information – going on a trip to
manufactures, meeting different specialists, holding conferences with high
school, professional-technical school students and industrial communities, etc.
Professional advice takes important place in giving
direction in school. Main goal – offering high school students specialty groups
and professions based on health, anatomical-physiological and
social-psychological analysis of them.
“Professional
advice” – giving advice and direction about peculiarities of different
professions to students who lack information. Providing information about
medical and psychological requirements that fit specific profession, how
important that job is for society is professional advice. Those events should
be given to students by special centers, psychologists or teachers.
In
professional advice information about the hard part of profession, medical
negative sides, the development of that profession in the future should be
provided to student. And meetings with students who learn on different
specialties should take place to increase the interest further.
Professional
selection – research directed to find out suitability for mastering profession
through special methodology. In society professional selection is forced
“adaptation” to certain type of profession, whereas professional selection is
based on it’s humanistic, educational meaning, “getting used to” new working
condition of youth.
Professional
adaptation takes place on the workplace and during experiencing working action.
Professional adaptation – adapting to profession within new conditions. Here
the meaning of youth’s first impression, their understanding and feeling of the
goal of working action and satisfaction with interest in profession play
important role. The benefits of professional adaptation are not only seen in
exact labor outcome, but also in manufacture collective, in the outcome of
systematic work done with youth who just got involved in labor.
Scientists,
based on results of social questionnaire taken from teenagers, have shown that
profession choosers gave the creativity feature of work the first place, the
place of profession in society on second, whereas the amount of salary on third
place. But what youth meant by “creativity feature” mostly was the social
reputation. For example, student disliking or looking down on some types of
specialties is just repeating opinions of their elder siblings. Most of the
high schools graduating students choose universities directed to “intellectual”
careers. However, for our people not only scientist and engineers, but also
broad profiled professions are needed.
But nowadays for our country needs ladder more. Uniqueness of one specialty defines the
authority of it in society’s opinion and it’s popularity.
Like was said
earlier, usually teachers, of course parents and other specialists should be involved
in organizing students meetings with professions owners. On those meetings, the
needed information about profession is gained:
-General information about profession;
-The sanitary-hygienic state of work;
-Psycho-physiological requirements for work;
-Special economical and legal preparation for
specialty;
In our
opinion, for professional directing special psychology specialist studies every
student. We think then studying child’s psychology finding out professional
readiness, enthusiasm, abilities won’t be hard. The main goal of this activity
– finding out if high school students’ individual, psychophysiological traits,
therefore, the development of child’s psych, health’s peculiarities and
structure of body match certain profession and suitability of person for that
profession.
Giving
professional direction is the first step in students being the needed
specialist in the future. Even if student will not own a certain profession
right after finishing school, they should own a sense of direction. That is, in
case they will not study higher education, not to increase the unemployment
rate. And if they go to study, then consciously choosing profession that suits
their abilities, interests and society needs. Giving professional direction
that is required for finding your own place in life is a very complicated
research, it is needs to be considered as a separate scientific branch.
