Based on modern realities and requirements of society, it is considered that the leading task of
professional and pedagogical training of future teachers should be the formation and development of the
teacher’s personality, which involves comprehensive psychological and pedagogical support for diagnostic
activity, variable use of the entire set of basic theoretical provisions and practical skills, vision of the problem
in pedagogical phenomena, understanding of others, readiness to take the position of a student, and ability
for pedagogical reflection, for critical assessment of oneself in various planned and spontaneously arising
pedagogical situations.
The purpose of the study is to reveal the essence of the concept of “support for diagnostic activity”
and to consider the main provisions of psychological and pedagogical support for the preparation of future
teachers for diagnostic activity.
Research methods are as follows: analysis, synthesis and systematization of philosophical,
psychological and pedagogical, and methodical studies devoted to the problem of psychological and pedagogical support of diagnostic activity of future teachers, formation of readiness of future teachers
for diagnostic activity, in particular, formation of their readiness for diagnostic activity in the process of
professional training at university, to study the state of the problem and theoretical justification of the
need for it; comparative analysis, generalizations, which make it possible to highlight the main provisions
of psychological and pedagogical support for the training of future teachers for diagnostic activities.
In the course of the research, it was found that the support of diagnostic activity is psychological
and pedagogical support, which is considered as an activity that ensures the consideration of individual
capabilities and abilities of the participants of professional training; contributes to the development of that
special, peculiar thing that is embedded in the personality from nature or that was acquired with individual
experience. Regarding diagnostic activities, it is important to interpret the process of psychological and
pedagogical support as a set of diagnostic tools, procedures, and methods that ensure the creation of the
necessary emotionally favourable atmosphere and tolerant relations during interpersonal communication,
which is the basis of individual, psychological and professional development of future teachers, as well as
productive use of diagnostic tools based on the principles of pedagogical interaction, cooperation and co-
creation.
Methodical support of professional training of students for diagnosis provides conditions for them
to acquire experience of diagnosis and self-diagnosis of individual support of professional development,
understanding of their importance in professional formation and increasing the effectiveness of professional
training in forming their readiness for diagnostic activity. In the course of professional training of future
teachers for diagnostic activities, psychological and pedagogical support of diagnostic activities ensures a
logical relationship of actions, processes, and regularities. The teacher as a subject of diagnosis activates
the mechanism of implementation of diagnostic procedures: needs, motives, incentives, resources, reserves,
and active actions of students (objects of diagnosis), establishes feedback and controls the actions of all
participants of professional training.
It has been concluded that the effectiveness of preparing future educators for diagnostic activity is
determined by a system of diagnostic actions implemented under specially created pedagogical terms. This
process involves the interaction of these terms, tools, and diagnostic self-development instruments for each
student to foster their readiness for diagnostic activity.
