Professional-pedagogical orientation of students estimated through a relation between moral and processual motives changes from the first to the fifth year in a high school in the direction of gradual domination of processual motives over the moral ones. In the first years there is a direct, while in the senior years an inverse relation between the processual motivation and the motive to work with children. This fact has to be taken into account in conduction of the school reform - interaction between the teacher and pupils must be organized in such a way that both sides would enjoy the process of communication.
