Abstract

The formed professional self-awareness of cadets determines their successful professional activities in the future. One of the important indicators of professional self-awareness is the image of the profession, which is formed during the process of studying at a university through the acquisition of new knowledge about the profession, the process of internalization of the professional role and seeing oneself in the context of the image of one’s profession. In this study, the main emphasis is on studying changes in the ideas of cadets of the Far Eastern Fire and Rescue Academy of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia about the profession of a firefighter at different stages of training. To study the cadets' ideas about the firefighter profession, a semantic differential scale was developed aimed at determining the image of the profession. Changes in the structure of cadets' professional self-awareness were identified. For junior students, the characteristics of stability, prospects for career growth, demand in the distant future, prestige, modernity, satisfaction, emotionality, and interest are of great importance. In senior years, the idea of a profession is more specific, characterized by technological and practical features, such as “multilateral”, “diverse”, “technical”, “managing”, “meaningful”, “dirty”, “connected with people”, “unemotional”.
