Pre-professional pedagogical training (PPT) of schoolchildren is one of the target functions of general education and professional organizations. This is an important stage of continuing professional education, which exerts a profound influence on the improvement of the teachers’ training quality and the education of modern young people in general. During this period, students acquire the most important professional and personal qualities, the experience of active participation in solving socio-pedagogical problems and creative activities. Pre-professional pedagogical training of schoolchildren contributes to the conscious choice of a profession in the field of education, professional and personal self-determination of students. At the same time, there are some problems caused by the insufficient validity and development of conceptual provisions, in particular, the ideas and principles of the PPT of schoolchildren, which interferes with the successful organization of career guidance work in educational organizations, complicates the activities of teachers and schoolchildren at the stage of pre-professional pedagogical education. The purpose of the article is to substantiate and characterize the principles of pre-professional pedagogical training, to offer options and ways of their implementation in the activities of teachers and schoolchildren. The leading approaches that form the basis of the theoretical justification and practical implementation of the PPT of students are the following: systemic, reflexive activity-oriented, and subject-oriented ones. When considering the principles, a binary approach is used, which represents the PPT as a process of interaction between two subjects: teachers and students. The article substantiates three groups of goals of pre-professional pedagogical training of schoolchildren, due to the challenges of society, the demands of the education system, the needs and characteristics of modern children; the main ideas of training students are identified: pedagogization of the social environment, individualization of the educational process, integration and convergence. Two groups of principles implemented in the process of pre-professional pedagogical training are defined and briefly characterized: the principles of organizing the activities of teachers and schoolchildren. The proposed principles can be used in the development of scientific, methodological, and educational support for PPT at the regional, municipal levels in an educational organization. It is useful for teachers and schoolchildren to consider these principles when working out the content, forms, methods, and technologies of PPT, ensuring continuity of support and self-development of students.
