Professional schools in today's society based upon a socialist market economy are required to educate students possessing high quality and becoming skillful and qualified laborers ideologically, culturally physically and psychologically as well. And they will be ready to devote themselves to the construction for modernization.To help students get ready for future careers is the dominant factor in our professional school education. Therefore, whether they are successful or not in their employment may well reflect the performances of a professional school. To achieve success, students need a 3-step guidance, which involves self-awareness, self-improvement and self-realization. And education in these 3 aspects should be carried out as a whole so as to meet the requirements of the whole society. It is one of the main priorities to solve the problem of psychological perplexity for professional students in choosing and taking up a career. This paper just focuses on the study of characteristics of development in students' self-awareness and explores the effectiveness of two major controlling methods -- group intervention and class-based psychological guidance.The main findings are as follows: 1. At present, most students in professional schools are psychologically sound, but areunsatisfactory in study. They tend to have a strong sense of self- inferiority. At the same time,they are over-concerned about their appearance. There are much anxiety, depression andhostility to a great extent. 2. At present, most third-grade student in professional school vary from each other greatly intheir job-interest, motivation and confidence. While first- and second-grade student inprofessional school do not differ greatly from each other in the aspects mentioned above.Most students are concerned about their appearance. Ad among different grades and differentsexes, there are no obvious distinction in understanding the relationship between appearance,behavior and future careers.3. Experiments of group-intervention among students of different grades and different sexes have proved to be effective in arousing their job-interest and increasing self-confidence towards their future career etc. As to the class-based psychological guidance, both cognitive-based and experience-based experiments have proved to be successful, and the effect of the latter one has been proved to be much encouraging.4. Mental-health guidance in professional schools must be profession-oriented with a view for increasing students' self- consciousness concerning future career. Consideration must be given to the adoption of both group intervention and class-based psychological guidance, in which both play different but important roles.5. This study is made in a professional school context, closely related to the professional schoolstudents. A range of activities on a variety of topics, which were designed to increasestudents' self-awareness and to carry out mental health education, are applicable toprofessional school students. They are worth popularizing among similar professionalschools and will surely give much enlightenment to their education in the field of mentalhealth and increase its effectiveness.
