The topicality of the matter considered is conditioned by low didactic efficiency of existing technical learning software and hardware tools in technical universities. In this regard, the purpose of this article is the creation and practical application of new methods for increasing the didactic efficiency of automated components of the educational process. The methodological basis of the research is the complex application of mutually complementary approaches, the main ones of which are systemic, personality-oriented, axiological and anthropological.
The work describes the performance of the designed learning system and, on its example, considers the methods for increasing the didactic efficiency of learning systems subject to psychofactors of the participants of the educational process. In the proposed learning system, the results of psychodiagnostics of students’ personal characteristics and qualities are represented which are used to form new elements of system analysis – “cognitive elements of psychofactors”, which introducing made it possible to improve the system analysis. The perfection of system analysis expanded its functionality and qualitatively changed its capabilities, which in turn made it possible to increase the degree of reasonableness of decisions made by a teacher and learning system when analyzing pedagogical situations. In the presented research, a special emphasis is put on the use of psycho-corrective educational technologies of the educational process, which use gave a new pedagogical effect – students practicing psycho-corrective methods of work with their personal qualities began to successfully complete higher complexity educational tasks, which proves an increase in their cognitive motivation and cognitive abilities.

Target Characteristics of Creative Young Professionals in the Field of Science and Higher Education
The article deals with the problem of rejuvenation of the staff potential in scientific organizations and
higher educational institutions through the selection and motivation of talented young specialists
to build their career trajectory in the field of science, high technology and higher education. The
authors provide a detailed description of the target characteristics necessary for successful work
in a creative environment. Based on original methods and building on the basic provisions of the
theory of motivational complex work activities and use of the MMPI diagnostic test, they define the
reference variant personality, and motivational profile of the scientist and compare it with the real
profiles of undergraduate and graduate students wishing or not wishing to continue their graduate
education with subsequent employment in a higher school or scientific organization. By logical
comparison of the reference and real profiles, the article came to the paradoxical conclusion that
people who are predisposed to scientific activity do not have aspirations to enter graduate school.
Those who are professionally unfit for scientific activity, on the contrary, tend towards graduate
school. Based on the analysis of the causes of this situation, a number of proposals for improving
the system of professional selection and motivation of talented young professionals are formulated
and justified. They are mainly related to the development of diagnostic tests for career guidance and
the use of the postdoctoral institute. The authors suggest that the implementation of these proposals
will contribute to the rejuvenation and strengthening of the human resources of higher educational
institutions and scientific organizations in the Russian Federation.
