The article presents the directions and the content of scientific and methodical support of the
upbringing process in school. The analysis involved the study of mass and advanced experience
of schools in the sphere of upbringing, examination, generalization, comparison, interpretation
and systematization. These methods were chosen to address the theoretical research objectives. The
directions of scientific and methodical support of the upbringing process in school required to study
the mass experience of schools were identified, as were the best practices in upbringing. There were
analyzed, summarized and systematized. Each aspect of this support was identified on the basis
of the analysis and theoretical generalization of the data obtained. The scientific and methodical
support of the upbringing process can be developed in several directions and at different levels. At
the state level, it is connected, inter alia, with software (an example is the ‘Approximate upbringing
program’); at the level of higher education, initially it can be associated with the definition of the
theoretical foundations for the preparation of future teachers for upbringing activities in the general
education system, with the development of updated content of textbooks and manuals on the theory
and methods of upbringing; while at the level of the advanced training system it is associated with
the development of its principles, new programs and the search for interactive forms of teachers’
training. The novelty of the research is in the determination of the main directions and content of the
scientific and methodical support of the upbringing process in school. The results make it possible
to form the scientific and methodical support of the upbringing process in school at different levels.

Professional Subjectivity for Student Teachers in Higher Education
This study identifies and characterizes the features of the development of professional subjectivity
of a future teacher in higher education. The research methodology is based on systemic and
interdisciplinary approaches to education, poly-subject, object-subject, and environmental
approaches. The author used theoretical methods (analysis, concretization and systematization
of the characteristics of the teacher’s subjectivity as a teacher in the indicated projections) and
empirical methods (observation; focus groups with students of a pedagogical university studying
at different levels and at different courses; methodology “I and others” by I. Nikolaeva). The study
involved teachers of the Department of Social Pedagogy and students (n=52) of the Voronezh State
Pedagogical University. It found that one of the leading differences in the subjective position of a
teacher as educator is the need to integrate personal and professional subjectivity. This relies on
coordination, and subsequently harmonizes individually significant and accepted value attitudes,
cultural and subcultural preferences, norms and requirements. An attempt is made to analyze the
projections of the teacher as an educator: into the socio-pedagogical environment – the educator as
a sociocultural role and status; into a professional environment – as a separate professional function;
into a personal environment – as a personal and professional attitude and position, which made it
possible to clarify the peculiarities of the formation of professional subjectivity in the context of the
development of the selected projections by the future teacher as an educator. The results confirm
the need to work with the reference area of students as a condition for the success of professional
education at the university, complementing the experience of solving the problems of self-education
and education by a future teacher.
