The authors analyze the understanding of professionalism in the psychological and pedagogical research of foreign and Kazakh scientists. In our research we use the following definition: "professionalism is a combination of professional competence, professional orientation and professionally important qualities of a teacher". The authors present the characteristics of a "professional person", where such a person should be capable of self-organization, as well as should be able to identify and solve problems. An important aspect of professional development, as the authors note, is its psychological support. That is, the development of such qualities as professional consciousness, thinking, a positive vision of the world, confidence and self-competence. However, after analyzing the initial situation, the authors believe that at universities, in particular, at the technical ones, the educational process is not always based on an understanding of the need for psychological and pedagogical support of a future specialist. To solve the problem, experimental work was organized and carried out, the main method of research was the "survey" and the author's questionnaire. The questionnaire was based on five criteria, each of which reveals the psychological invariants of professionalism and nonprofessionalism of the individual. The article presents main results of the study. Measures for the development of motivation and the desire for professional development are proposed. The authors believe that the relevant activities should be implemented in the professional training of students, which in the future will contribute to a more efficient and high-quality professionalization process.

The long-term strategy “Kazakhstan-2050” indicates that education is one of the main priorities for the Kazakh state. The main goal of education reforms in Kazakhstan is to adapt the system of education to a changing socio-economic environment of the country. Professional specialists in the field of education management are vitally important as they will have to reform and manage the newly developing system of education. Many national and foreign researchers assume that the most effective way of training education managers is granting them a higher education degree.

The effectiveness of innovation management activities in the educational environment depends on educational psychologists' acquired competencies. The experimental study included a survey of 320 graduate students majoring in Pedagogy and Psychology at eight leading Kazakhstani universities and regional experts' assessment on the readiness of graduates for innovative managerial work in educational institutions. The sampling technique used to select the sample audience is the convenience based, exponential non-discriminative snowball sampling where the initial subjects are recruited from campus or through social groups based on ease of accessibility and the rest are selected based on referrals made by the selected students. The article reveals the importance of the personality component of educational psychologists' professional readiness for innovative management. In addition, it gives an expert assessment of the effectiveness of training educational psychologists for innovative management in educational institutions. Studying the future educational psychologists' readiness for innovative managerial competencies remains relevant for researchers. It is associated with the need for purposeful investigation and formation of professional competencies according to general patterns and alterations in vocational training in higher educational institutions. In this regard, educational psychologists' training with managerial competencies should become one of the priority directions of practical psychology development in Kazakhstan.
