Professional development of students - the main task of the learning process. Transition to an independent project focused activity of students should be carried out in a system «student - teacher, teachers of the professional discipline» as this coordination of organization of activity of students by teachers of pedagogical disciplines and profile disciplines promotes identification of all most topical issues which will be further a component of professional activity of the expert. Let's allocate the following indicators of readiness of students for future professional activity: the level of knowledge of theoretical material; the level of formation of professionally focused designing abilities; the level of motivation for professional activity.

On special chairs it is necessary to form certain abilities of students in the field of corresponding pedagogical knowledge for further application in professional activity. Integration of professional and fundamental knowledge is carried out on the basis of selection of the contents of pedagogical material for presentation of the tasks focused on professional activity. Selection of the material is carried out according to the following requirements: compliance to the

state educational standard; compliance to the level of the training standard of students; concrete connection with the issues of future professional activity.

An important stage in the process of studying of pedagogical disciplines is presentation of pedagogical tasks to students considering the specifics of future professional activity of students. The tasks are split into elementary components which mastering is checked in a class-room with feedback and then problematic situations which are caused by insufficient connection of pedagogical disciplines with problematic tasks of future professional activity of students come to light. Formation of an idea of the solution of pedagogical tasks through the complex project is carried out. Originally students carry out private projects and then reduce them to one unified project. Development, representation, assessment of projects occur with direct participation of both the teacher of pedagogical disciplines and teachers of profile disciplines.

Work on projects raises the level of knowledge of theoretical material. A report of students in the form of presentation, the program for calculation, calculations, animation demonstrations define the level of development of professionally focused designing abilities and create a motivation basis of future professional activity.

Motivation of students for professional activity is estimated by the purposes which are put by students of pedagogical higher education institution, the ways they choose for their achievement and their aspirations. The level of formation of professionally focused designing abilities was estimated with consideration of the ability to analyze problematic pedagogical situations, to receive new information for the solution of the set tasks, to choose means and methods of the solution of pedagogical tasks, to work in a team. The analysis of the results of the research shows: a tendency to the growth of the level of knowledge of theoretical material; increase of the level of formation of professionally focused designing abilities and increase of the level of motivation for professional activity when using this scheme of training.

Thus the need and possibility of the solution of the problem of formation of readiness of students of pedagogical higher education institution for professional activity from the position of continuity of transition from subject to professional training under the condition of implementation of a transfer of educational activity of the solution of pedagogical tasks to the designing activity prove to be true.
