Further the article presents the results of a questionnaire survey, in which the school psychologists evaluated the degree of the influence of various factors on their professional self-development activities, provides a ranking of the influence of the stimulating and impeding factors, based on the estimates supplied by the research participants. It is shown that the main stimulating factors are: “Interest in their professional activities”, “Need for self-development”, “Availability of experts (courses) that can be educative”, “The novelty of the activity, working conditions, the ability to experiment”, “The system of material incentives”. According to the study participants, the list of the hindering factors has only two leading factors: “Limited financial resources, constrained life circumstances” and “Lack of time”.
