The results of the latest research in the field of modern education and
pedagogical technologies demand an increase in professional requirements in
the process of training specialist personnel. Nowadays, the need to develop a
certain style of social behavior that ensures the success and efficiency of future
professional activities for an individual is becoming an ever more urgent
problem.
The scope of works devoted to the empirical determination of
pedagogical conditions for teaching future specialists to create their own
professional image has expanded. During the training period, a model was
developed that allows the formation of the image component of the chosen
profession, and the effectiveness of introducing this model into the practice of
the university's educational process was experimentally tested. The criteria,
indicators and levels of professional image formation of future specialists of
various fields are determined, and its components are divided into personal,
competence, communicative, behavioral and visual types.
In explaining the profession and its connection with the science of
psychology, the well-known Russian psychologist K.M. Gurevich told his tariff.
Careers are not permanent, they come and go. Due to the development and
improvement of science and technology, some of them have completely changed,

although only the horse has been preserved. K.M. Gurevich shows the
emergence and formation of professions as follows.
1) With the occurrence of division of labor;
2) Science - with the emergence and development of technology;
3) With the change of pharmacies.
Students studying at a professional educational institution experience a number
of changes during their studies, including social relationships, relationships with
themselves, people, their chosen profession, and society. It is during this period
that the development of professional characteristics of a person is more
observed, and for this reason, we have chosen this period in our research.
A total of 120 respondents were involved in the study: 65 students of
Surkhandarya Abu Ali Ibn Sino Public Health Technical College and
Surkhandarya Legal Technical College, 55 students of Sherabod District
Pedagogical Technical College and Sherabod Abu Ali Ibn Sina Public Health
Technical College.

In our research work, in order to determine the psychological aspects of
professional image development among students of a professional educational
institution:
We carried out diagnostic experiments using the questionnaire
"Determining personal motivation" proposed by V. Gerbachevsky and the
methodology "Activating students' career guidance" authored by N. Pryajnikov.
We studied the problem of studying the social and psychological characteristics
of the professional image among students of a professional educational
institution. First, we tried to determine which scale of their motivation is
dominant in order to determine the content of this feature.
First, we conducted a questionnaire "Determination of personal
motivation" to obtain primary data about the psychological characteristics of the
professional image of students. The main goal was to determine the importance
of social and psychological characteristics of the professional image of students
and the dependence of motivation on the expression of these characteristics.
The results of this survey were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The
results of the quantitative analysis are shown in Table 2.3.

Initially, the level of motivational components that make up the
personality system in students of a professional educational institution was

MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMY

determined. In the questionnaire "Determining personal motivation", the
components of the motivational structure are traditionally divided into four
groups. The first group includes six components, which represent the core of a
person's motivational structure. Taking into account the importance of the
motivational structure of a person in creating a professional image, we
conducted experimental diagnostic work on students using this method.
The questionnaire "Determination of personal motivation" was conducted
among the selected respondents, students of the professional educational
institution. According to the results of the research, girls have an advantage in
the scale of the first internal motive, but the difference is not significant. We can
explain this result by the presence of internal motivation in students of both
genders, unlike the gender of the students, and the fact that they learn with
interest the information of the lessons conducted in the specialties they are
studying. (U=-.503; p>.615).
The second scale is explained by the fact that there are differences
between girls and boys in the motive of knowledge, that is, the preparation for
the profession through the motive of knowledge in girls is higher than that of
boys. (U=-2.227; p<.026). According to the results obtained from the examinees,
the motives of learning a wide range of new knowledge, facts, events and laws
were more prevalent in girls than in boys. In addition, it was found that the
motives of knowing - the ways of acquiring knowledge and the actions aimed at
acquiring independent education methods are also high in respondent girls.
In the third scale - the motivation to avoid defeat, the same indicators
were recorded in the results of representatives of both sexes, almost no
difference was observed. We expressed this indicator by the fact that students
do not like the feeling of defeat. (U=-.227085; p>.932). The fact that students
may show low results in their majors with subsequent consequences showed
the presence of fear in them. We explain that because the motive of success
creates a pleasant impression on the test takers, the feeling of defeat leads to the
emergence of a feeling of injustice towards themselves.
There is a difference in the results of the test takers in the fourth scale -
the scale of competitive motive, but the observed difference is not significant.
(U=-1.447; p>.148). This scale expresses how much importance a person
attaches to high results in his work. No difference was observed in the results of
the test subjects who participated in our study because they had not yet started
working in their chosen professions.

Among the selected respondents, a higher rate was found in girls
compared to boys in the fifth scale - motivation to change activities. (U=-2.858;
p<.004). According to this motive component, it was revealed that girls have a
motive to change their major. It can be explained by the fact that the tendency to
stop the work that one is engaged in is more common in girls, and it means that
it is allowed to rush during the choice of profession, and on the other hand, it can
be explained by the fact that, on the other hand, girls are more likely to find a
new profession and adapt to it more quickly.

be explained by the fact that, on the other hand, girls are more likely to find a
new profession and adapt to it more quickly.
The second group of the questionnaire "Determining personal
motivation" included the components of motivation related to the achievement
of very difficult goals. These components are related to current events, and the
data we received during the pilot tests allowed us to get information about the
professional image of students and their thoughts at the moment.
In the seventh scale - the motive of appreciation of achievements, there
was a relative difference in the results of both sexes, but the difference was not
significant. (U=-.402; p>.688). Compared to girls, the respondents give a little
more personal importance to the results of their activities, but the difference is
not very significant. - we can justify it by the fact that their mothers give
importance to them.
According to the results obtained in the difficulty of the eighth scale, the
girls had a higher score, and a significant difference was observed in girls
compared to boys. (U=-3.129; p<.002). It was observed that among the selected
test subjects, when given tasks according to the level of complexity of the task,
the girls perform the tasks responsibly, perform the difficult task diligently, and
do not leave the attention of the teachers. We can explain that unlike girls, boys
have such characteristics as lack of self-confidence in approaching complex
tasks, fear of making mistakes, a little shyness in expressing their thoughts, and
patience in expressing themselves.

According to the results of the ninth scale of willpower, girls have a
higher score, and a significant difference was observed in girls compared to
boys. (U=-1.945; p<.050). Through this scale, we had the opportunity to
determine the manifestation of voluntary action in the respondents. Voluntary
action in the process of working on a given task depends on willpower. It was
determined that girls are responsible for completing the tasks assigned to them
according to the professional field they are studying. It was found that the
characteristic of making efforts to have a good professional image is superior in
female test takers. evaluates the level of expression. It was found out that young
men have ideas about having an image while performing the given tasks without
exerting willpower, that is, without professional training. This can be explained
by the fact that young men feel that external characteristics are more important
than internal characteristics of a person in having a professional image.
It was observed that there was no significant difference in the results of
representatives of both sexes from the tenth scale - the scale of evaluation levels
of the achieved results. (U=-1.095; p>.274). According to the results of the scale,
which allows to assess the level of the results achieved by the examinees, both
boys and girls feel connected with their opportunities in the chosen activity, but
they do not have a full idea of strengthening the professional image with this
motive, which affects their performance. we can explain.
The results of the respondents were almost the same in the eleventh
scale - the scale of self-assessment, and no significant difference was observed.
(U=-.085; p>.932). It can be explained by the fact that the respondents have not
yet fully started their professional activities, and they did not have an adequate
approach to assessing their potential.
The third group of the questionnaire "Determination of personal motivation"
includes the possibility of predictive assessment of the subject's activity. This, in
turn, ensures that they understand how to create and strengthen their
professional image through personal motivation.
The twelfth scale - There is a difference in the indicators of the test subjects on
the level of ability to mobilize their own strength, but it is not significant. (U=-
.653; p>.514). Respondents are developing knowledge and skills to mobilize
actions necessary to achieve activity goals, but they are still not at the level of
competence. That's why we can say that the manifestation of the level of
achieving a clear goal in the activity was not recorded at a high rate in both boys
and girls.

In the 13th scale - the scale of the level of expected results, a slight
advantage was observed in the female test-takers compared to the boys, but no
significant difference was detected. (U=-1.055; p>.292). It was noted that the
difference in this scale is not significant because the expected level of
performance results of our respondents has not yet been realized.
The fourth group of the questionnaire "Determination of personal
motivation" reflects the causal factors of the relevant activity and combines two
components.
In the fourteenth scale - the scale of legitimacy of results, a higher result
was found in girls compared to boys. (U=-1.555; p<.050). From the testers, we
explain that the girls have the ability to understand their potential in achieving
their goals, act accordingly, and see the results of their actions in success. It can
be explained by the relative lack of confidence in the young respondents that
they can see the results of their efforts successfully even if they understand their
possibilities in achieving their goals.
In the fifteenth scale - initiative scale, boys had a relatively higher result
than girls. (U=-.727; p<.047). It was found that boys show more initiative and
resourcefulness in solving tasks than girls. It was found that boys show more
initiative when given individual tasks or when tasks are assigned to a group of
boys. Girls show initiative and resourcefulness in solving tasks, difficulty in
coming to a decision, lack of independence, restrictions such as "you are a girl,
it's a boy's job" cause girls to limit their initiative. we explain.
The above-mentioned components represent the potential motivational
structure that occurs during the performance of the task, and became the basis
for reaching a number of conclusions during our diagnostic work.
In our research work, we carried out diagnostic experiments using the
methodology "Activating the orientation of students to the profession" authored
by N. Pryajnikov.[72] The purpose of the methodology is to develop students'
understanding of their readiness for professional work, and we have made good
use of the fact that group work of the methodology helps to determine the
readiness of the student to choose a profession. Quantitative and qualitative
analyzes of the results obtained from the methodology were carried out, the
results of the quantitative analysis are presented in Table 2.4.

According to the results of the research conducted among the selected
respondents and students, it was found that there are differences between girls
and boys in the scale of Self-Assessment-Professional Readiness. The results of
girls are explained by higher indicators than boys on the scale of self-
assessment-professional readiness. (U=-.776; p<.047). The test girls are
characterized by the ability to successfully perform various actions, the desire to
improve based on the standards specified in the methodology, the desire to
perform labor actions, and the presence of an attempt to activate self-
knowledge. This will help the respondent girls to come to the necessary
conclusions about self-evaluation in the overall assessment of their readiness for
a specific profession.
Summary
It can be explained by the fact that although the chosen young people are
interested in the profession, they are slow in performing work activities, and
tend to be supported in activating self-knowledge, which led to an adequate self-
evaluation. Therefore, it may be difficult for young men to make a general
assessment of their readiness for a specific profession, to come to conclusions
about self-evaluation.
Of course, conclusions about high or low self-esteem have a conditional
character, because several teenagers are surprised by their ability to
successfully perform various actions. We conclude that checking the readiness of
students for professions, the psychologist paying attention to these professions,
and discussing the types of activities that teenagers are interested in together
with the pedagogue will ensure the achievement of an effective result. Because it
activates a person's thoughts about self-knowledge and personal capabilities, as
well as ensures that he can successfully determine his own destiny.
