professional self-determination, entry into the future profession, educational psychologists, volunteering, tutoring

This study is devoted to the analysis of the contribution of both well-known foreign (A. Adler, M. R. Ginzbur, A. Maslow, K. Horny, E. Erikson), Russian (V. A. Ayrapetova, E. A. Alexandrova, E. A. Bauer, A. V. Malyshev, A. V. Mudrik, V. A. Slastenin, V. I. Slobodchikov) scientists and authors of dissertation research (A. V. Bugoslavskaya, K. I. Buyakova, E. A. Salakhutdinova, S. F. Shlyapina) in solving the problem of professional self-determination and entry into the future profession of university students of various training programs. It follows from the review above that the very concept of professional self-determination as well as the process of university students’ entering the future profession are not studied well enough which reveals the relevance of the research topic. The work is based on general theoretical approaches (systemic, competence, activity, etc.), as well as on the statements of scientists given in monographs, dissertation studies and other scientific publications. The emphasis is placed on the issues of pedagogical support, the author’s interpretation of the concepts of pedagogical support and entry into the profession of future educational psychologists is given. The results of the questionnaire survey of first-year pedagogical college students are presented, from which it follows that the choice of profession is largely due to the level of wages and the increasing influence of the media, especially the Internet. It is noted that the majority of first-year students do not imagine the peculiarities of their future professional activity. We believe that the experience of organizing pedagogical support for future educational psychologists at Shuya Branch Ivanovo State University due to the necessity to integrate higher education and additional education by involving them in volunteering, tutoring, mentoring, and participating in the project “Children at University” is interesting for the wide educational community of Russia.
