Profile pedagogical training of schoolchildren in the historical and regional context

   The relevance of this research is explained by the dynamic labor market and the need to help young people make informed choices that match their abilities and interests.

   This article examines the pre-professional pedagogical training of high school students through psychological and pedagogical classes, practice-oriented courses, excursions to professional educational organizations, meetings with teachers, participation in pedagogical Olympiads and competitions, and extracurricular and volunteer activities. The article emphasizes the early immersion of schoolchildren in the teaching profession, the development and enhancement of teaching skills, and the enhancement of academic motivation.

   The aim of this article is to examine the organization of specialized pedagogical training for students from a historical perspective, using materials from the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).

   The authors analyze the definitions of renowned researchers on issues of professional self-determination, career guidance, and pedagogical education. Particular attention is paid to the developed periodization of the stages in the history and development of specialized pedagogical training of schoolchildren in Yakutia from 1991 to 2025 (opening of pedagogical classes, organization and holding of the Olympiad in the nominations “Pedagogical Star” and “Pedagogical Leader”, creation of the competition “Choice.Prof.Yakutsk”, activities of the Small Psychological and Pedagogical Academy, creation of a virtual pedagogical class, etc.). The importance of the developed Concept of pre-university training of future teachers in schools of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is emphasized, which presents a four-component model of formation of professional self-determination of an individual: “self-image – analysis of the profession – professional tests – self-analysis. The importance of modeling the educational process in pedagogical classes is substantiated. The results of a survey of school teachers in Yakutsk are presented, indicating that the main means of specialized pedagogical orientation and training are: diagnostic; information and reference; participation of schoolchildren in Olympiads and competitions in pedagogy and psychology; meetings with students majoring in pedagogy at universities and pedagogical colleges. The article’s materials may be useful for teachers, university and college instructors, and professionals involved in career guidance.
