This situation does not contribute to the formation of the appropriate level of motivation and ability to energetically engage in their own professional activities, and the capacity to adequately self-assess professional actions in future specialists in the socionomic sphere. Therefore, the educational process in Ukrainian higher education should ensure the creation of a cult of knowledge and scholarship among students, which will contribute to the development of their vision of social strategies, setting perspectives for personal growth and professional development. The formation of the basic constructs of future specialists such as competence, competencies and professional qualities of their personality is impossible without the individualization of the educational process in higher education.
