The Development of a Digital Environment for Psychological and Pedagogical Support for Professional Self-Determination of College Students

In modern realities, professional self-determination is becoming an increasingly pressing issue, as society needs a young, active specialist ready to work in high-tech production. At the same time, an effective system of professional self-determination will allow young people to enjoy their professional activities and have many opportunities for self-realization. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate and describe the experience of implementing a digital environment for psychological and pedagogical support for professional self-determination of college students. The digital environment allows for a new approach to the implementation of the educational process, allows college students to independently determine their own educational and professional trajectory, motivate them for personal and professional self-development and self-determination. As part of the implementation of the innovative project “Psychological and pedagogical support for self-determination of students in interaction with the family”, a model “Digital environment for psychological and pedagogical support for professional self-determination of students” was developed and is being tested. The digital environment of psychological and pedagogical support for professional self-determination of students has been developed for all subjects of the educational process of the college. The developed digital environment ensures the implementation of an open communication space for students, parents, teachers, social partners and employers, which contributes to the organization and implementation of targeted work on professional self-determination of students on the basis of Magnitogorsk Pedagogical College. The developed digital environment allows determining the activity of students in work on their professional self-determination using such digital tools as video and audio materials, digital simulators, interactive tasks, web quests, etc.
