Diagnostics of professional activity
The problem of studying the professional activity is relevant. However, so far, system studies of professional activity in the national psychology and pedagogy have been conducted. The author gives a definition of professional activity based on the views of VS Merlin. We give empirical evidence of the hypothetical construct of professional activity as a structural dynamic system in the professional activities of the entity. During factor analysis, the structural validity of the battery of tests selected to measure the expression of components of the professional activity of young people has been confirmed. Based on diagnostic tools developed by the author it becomes possible to study experimentally the functions of professional activity in the structure and development of an integrated personality. The observed intrinsic motivation gives the right to assume that the rate of professional activity may express to some extent the subject activity of young people in their professional activities.
