STUDENTS’ PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL
POTENTIAL IN THE SYSTEM OF UNIVERSITY TRAINING

The paper aims to present the results of the examination of personal and professional potential of future specialists in the process of studying at a university. The experiment involved 248 students of 1-2 years of study of the International Humanitarian University (Odesa). In the structure of personal and professional potential of a specialist, the motivational, epistemological, praxeological, and personal components are singled out. The personal and professional potential of future specialists was assessed according to the following criteria: motivational (indicators: value orientations, focus on a profession, the need for self-realization), cognitive (indicators: professional knowledge, desire for self-education), activity (creative potential, communicative and organizational skills), subjective (indicators: moral and volitional qualities, communicative tolerance, emotional intelligence). The personal and professional potential was examined by means of specially selected methods according to each indictor. As a result of the study, it has been found that most of the respondents have a low level of personal and professional potential maturity, which gives grounds to speak about the necessity of developing a technique to improve future specialists’ levels of personal and professional potential, which is considered to be the prospect of further research.
