In the conditions of higher professional education, there are many-sided and complex changes associated with personal and professional development. Personal and professional development is reflected in the understanding of the ideal student's image. In the formation of this image, both the student himself and the environment that develops around him, communication with teachers, colleagues, and the General unique atmosphere that exists at the University take an active part. The ideal image of the student reflects in a symbolic way the experience that the student has gained while staying at the University for several years. For the teacher, the identification of such an ideal image in senior students is a kind of feedback, showing both the effectiveness of educational activities, and the consequences of the impact of teachers ' personalities on the student, the ways of further work and allows to predict to some extent what kind of specialist and person this student will turn out to be. The value component of this image is the basis of the directions in which the student will improve. The ideal image is directed to the future.
Given that the ideal image of a student is not sufficiently studied, this justifies the relevance of studying the ideal image of a student in the understanding of undergraduates at the University.
N. V. Kozlova, O. G. Berestneva , I. L. Shelekhova and others were engaged in studying the ideal image of the student. they showed the formation of the image of the ideal student.
The psychological problem is the study of the emotional and value attitude of the individual to himself and the relationship of self-esteem with the group assessment of the individual. This problem has been studied quite a bit, but nevertheless it is very relevant, due to the problems associated with the formation of a harmoniously developed personality and its perception in the public sphere.[1]
The self-concept is a dynamic system of an individual's self-image, coupled with self-esteem. It affects the character and characteristics of communication and activity. Self-esteem is a judgment about personal qualities, about yourself, which is expressed in attitudes characteristic of the individual. Self-assessment is considered a regulator behavior; it affects the effectiveness of activities and subsequent development of the individual. An emotionally charged belief associated with a specific object is called an attitude [2].
D. E. Sovpel identified the following components of the Self-concept:
descriptive or descriptive-a set of characteristics of the type: "I am happy", "I am a dreamer", "I am ugly" (a kind of "image of Me" or " picture of Me»);
self-assessment - a set of characteristics of the type: "it pleases me", "it is unpleasant to me".
A person's self-esteem is often influenced by the opinions of others. In the course of correlating a person's life experiences, they still learn to evaluate themselves independently of others. But despite the fact that a person tries to evaluate themselves independently, they will always be influenced by public evaluation.But also the impact of public assessment depends on the significance of the group in which it is located, on the vulnerability of the individual and many other factors. It often happens that the more a person interacts with the group, the more it is prone to grip on the judgments of the group.
Also, the "I-concept" includes not only all the knowledge of a person about himself, but also how he evaluates himself. It exists both on a conscious and unconscious level, reflecting the attitudes of a person towards himself.
During the student years, the personality goes through a period of intensive socialization, the development of psychological functions, and the formation of a generally harmoniously developed personality [4].
I. A. Zimnaya highlighted the main characteristics of the student age that distinguish it from other groups of the population: the highest educational level, significant cognitive motivation, improvement of the intellectual system and overall harmonious development of the individual, high social activity and of course a harmonious combination of mental and social maturity.
According to Erickson, the student age is built around an identity crisis that consists of individual and social choices, as well as self-determination [3].
If a young person is not able to solve these problems, then they form an inadequate identity that develops along four main lines:
1) Avoiding psychological intimacy, as well as narrow interpersonal relationships;
2) Inability to make plans for life, fear of growing and changing;
3) Blurring of production, inability to mobilize their reserves and focus on the main activity;
4) Developing a "negative identity", refraining from self-determination and choosing negative images to imitate.
American psychologist Maurice Rosenberg, who conducted a study of high school students, found that young men with low self-esteem are characterized by instability of Self-images and opinions about themselves. [2] They are predisposed to "hide" from others, showing them a "false face". Also, they are characterized by vulnerability; they are concerned about the opinion of others and of course they react painfully to failures in any activity or if they find flaws in themselves.
Specific types of students are identified in relation to educational and academic work:
- Empiricisms;
- Analysts;
- Innovators;
- Logics, performers;
- Organizers;
- Systematic;
- Erudite;
- Generator of ideas;
- Romances;
- Imitators;
- Thought interceptors.
We identified the features of the "ideal student" image in students and teachers using an Association test. Based on the results of which the following diagram is obtained:
Based on this diagram, you can draw the appropriate conclusions:
1. the most frequent associations of students associated with the image of the "ideal student" - study (85%), couples (90%), session (100%). This Association may be caused by the assumption that the image of the "ideal student" is directly related mainly to learning.
2. Common associations of teachers are: session (100%), work (100%), and friends (100%). This can be explained by the fact that teachers consider the image of the "ideal student" much more extensively.
Summing up, we can conclude that the demonstrated motivation and interest of University students guarantees an appropriate degree of perception, comprehension, attention to memory, but this should be done with great effort by teachers. Also, self-esteem is very strongly influenced by the opinion of others; often we try to change everything in ourselves, just to please others. But this is not correct, you need to listen to the opinion of others, but you do not have to change what someone does not like, because it may not be a problem in you, but in the one who condemns you.
Based on the results of our experimental research, we have identified differences in the representation of the image of the "ideal student" among students and teachers of the University. This difference lies in the fact that students restrict their opportunities and sometimes simply stop believing in themselves, and teachers see the image of the "ideal student" as multi-faceted, with great opportunities. Thus, we can safely say that students have low self-esteem, but this can harm them in their future professions, so you need to work on the "I-concept".
