Abstract: Annotation.This article discusses the issues of self-development as a factor in achieving psychological values for future educational psychologists.The research methods used include literature analysis, questionnaires, testing, and statistical and analytical data analysis.The study was conducted among students of the Pedagogical Faculty in the educational program (hereinafter referred to as EP) "Pedagogy and Psychology".It was found that most students consciously chose their future profession and consider self-development an important aspect of their professional activity, and they would like to further improve their qualifications.The degree of maturity of professional and value orientations in many future educational psychologists requires corresponding corrective work.A significant number of students show interest in their personal development.Statistical analysis confirmed the existence of a moderate correlation between the readiness of future educational psychologists for self-development and the structure of their professional-value orientations.Practical recommendations are proposed for forming a solid connection between professional values and self-development for future educational psychologists.
