Abstract

The article presents a theoretical justification of the directions and means of psychological support for the development of the “professional self” image in students of aviation specialties. It summarizes scientific approaches to studying the “professional self” image and outlines the specifics of professional activity in the aviation field, which necessitate the comprehensive development of the cognitive, emotional-evaluative, and behavioral components of the “aviation specialist” image. The importance of using socio-psychological training as a key tool in the structure of psychological support for future specialists is substantiated.

The aim of the study is to theoretically model the process of forming the “professional self” image in students of aviation specialties. The research procedure included the analysis and systematization of scientific sources, modeling the content of psychological support, and structuring a training program aimed at developing professional self-awareness, emotional-regulatory, and behavioral-activity aspects of professional development.

The conclusions emphasize the importance of psychological support in the formation of a holistic, harmonious “professional self” image in students of aviation specialties, as well as the prospects for further empirical research on the effectiveness of the proposed model and the developed training program.
