Previous research examined only the role of interpersonal competition in academic self-handicapping. Therefore, from the multidimensional perspective, the goal of the presented research on academic self-handicapping was to determine the role of (1) different attitudes to competition, (2) the reasons that motivate people for competition and (3) the reasons for avoidance of competition. We also aimed at distinguishing the roles of different types of motivation for education in academic self-handicapping, according to the level of self-determination. Participants were 748 high school students. In academic self-handicapping the results confirmed the relevance of distinguishing among different dimensions of competitiveness. Those denoted by selfworth protection proved to be more characteristic of academic self-handicapping than those depicted by testing one’s own limits and by high importance of the quality of task accomplishment. Regarding motivation for education, amotivation played the important role. Intrinsic motivation correlated with academic self-handicapping negatively, but extrinsic motivation showed no significant correlation. Important implications for refinements of pedagogical practice are discussed.

Preparation of Teachers of General Secondary Education Institution for the Formation of Readiness for Responsible Parenthood Among High School Students
The article highlights the essence, structural components, as well as pedagogical conditions for the formation of readiness for responsible parenthood among high school students of general secondary education institutions. The readiness of high school students for responsible parenthood is considered as a psychological phenomenon that covers an integral set of certain characteristics inherent in high school students as future parents in accordance with the norms, standards, requirements generally accepted in society, which ensure in the future the ability to consciously plan future married life and the birth of children, as well as a conscious manifestation of responsibility for the child and the effective performance of marital and parental roles. Structural components of this concept are knowledge about parental roles, their functions, responsibilities, ways of interaction between young spouses and with the future child; the presence of empathic ability, a positive attitude to future family’s new responsibilities, the desire to consciously and responsibly identify marital and parental feelings; the presence of elementary everyday skills necessary for future married life, and so on. Special attention is paid to highlighting the ways of preparing teachers of general secondary education institutions for the formation of readiness for responsible parenthood among high school students as one of the pedagogical conditions that can ensure that high school students reach the necessary level of formation of the outlined phenomenon. One of the key elements of achieving a high level of education of schoolchildren, in particular the formation of readiness for responsible parenthood among high school students, is a positive image of a teacher, which determines the desire of high school students to master family values and the effectiveness of this process. The success of a teacher’s work largely depends on qualities of a «teacher of the future», who sees each child as an independent person who is constantly changing, developing, has the right to self-affirmation, and so on. In order to provide classroom teachers, school psychologists and social workers with the necessary competencies in the theory and methodology of forming the outlined phenomenon in high school students, a program of pedagogical support for teachers was developed. Main stages of working with teachers of general secondary education institutions are considered, namely: organizational and analytical, informational, practical, evaluative and effective. As a part of the implementation of the program, various forms of work with teachers and the use of innovative methods of teaching adults are provided. The most appropriate, in educational terms, means of working with teachers were reflexive and emotionally rich forms and methods. For this purpose various technologies of communication with teachers for practical solutions to the problems of forming the readiness of high school students for responsible parenthood were used, the use of such technologies in working with students and parents was recommended.
