Specialized training today is designed to solve a number of pressing and urgent problems, one of which is to increase the motivation of young people for future professional activity, the formation of key competences and practical skills necessary for its implementation. Career guidance and self-determination of schoolchildren seem to contribute to this but, as the practical work in specialized psychological and pedagogical classes shows, this is far from the real case. It is worth noting that career guidance and self-determination are focused on the elimination of particular problems, and are part of the overall work on the organization of specialized training, which, however, in our opinion, is much broader than it may seem at first glance. Therefore, the aspect of studying the system of education in specialized classes seems to us particularly important. This circumstance makes it possible to formulate the purpose of the article, which is to describe the model of teaching in specialized psychological and pedagogical classes. The system activity-oriented approach, as a fundamental principle of education, allows us to build an appropriate model of a teacher's activity in organizing training in classes of psychological and pedagogical orientation. The practical involvement of high school students in active pedagogical activity contributes to the formation of motivational, personal, behavioral spheres, as evidenced by their qualitative changes. The proposed training model differs significantly from the traditional vision of building a pre-professional education. The author's interpretation is based on an integrated approach that allows to reach all students through involvement in project, research, and practical activities. Schoolchildren already at the stage of special training try on the roles of educator, teacher, instructor, researcher. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the description of the model of training in specialized psychological and pedagogical classes; comparative analysis of approaches to the organization of pre-professional and vocational education in domestic and foreign practice; generalization of the modern system of specialized training. The practical significance of the article consists in substantiating the author's model of teaching in specialized psychological and pedagogical classes (the case of Yevpatoria schools), which will help both the authors and the scientific community deal in the future with issues of specializing to diversify the types and forms of involvement of the pedagogically interested generation in future professional activities.

The relevance of the issues under study lies in the need to prepare school students for their future professional activities and to identify the best ways for them to make a professional decision. Pre-specialized training and specialized education, implemented in grades 9-11, have great opportunities for this. The article deals with such form of professional self-determination as the elective courses, which are aimed at the development of initial professional skills. The aim of this article is to create a system of tasks to help high school students develop their initial professional skills in preparation for a career as a web designer, and to test this system. Project-based assignments completed by students as part of each module of the elective course "Fundamentals of Web Application Design" served as the basis. Research methods: theoretical (study and analysis of the pedagogical literature and regulatory-legal framework; analysis, generalization and organization of the information); empirical (development and testing of educational materials, including project-based works; pedagogical experiment). In particular, generalized labor functions have been identified based on the professional standard for "Designer of Web and Multimedia Applications", which can be used when teaching information technology to 11th grade students. Based on the identified general labor functions, an elective course has been developed. Its goals and objectives are presented, as well as the minimum knowledge and skills required for successful completion. The content of the course is described, and tasks for various types of assessment are outlined: incoming, ongoing, momentous, and final assessments. The pedagogical experiment confirming efficiency of developed educational materials has been carried out. The theoretical significance of this research is to determine how, in the process of teaching computer science, school graduates can be prepared for the profession of a web designer. This will be done by considering the generalized labor functions outlined in the relevant professional standards. The practical significance lies in the development of a course with an emphasis on incoming and final control, which will help determine the level of understanding of the educational material. The significance of the tasks proposed was evident from the results of the project-based work presented by students at the end of the elective course. The novelty of the study illustrates, that the developed and implemented elective course complying with the professional standards allows developing initial professional skills, preparing high school students for the informed choice of a career.
