To bring up pupils and to mold their character are one of most important tasks of an educational process since these are a direct academic work component associated with all knowledge grasping processes. Scientific-and-technological progress as up-to-date mass media becomes one of the most powerful factors of the pedagogical medium, which updates the necessity of timely using its achievements in modern education. There is a trend toward decreased moral and ethical components in the present-day schoolchildren's personality structure over a ten-year period. The timeliness of the detection and development of the interests and capacities of schoolchildren is urgent to their successful sociopsychological adaptation and integration into the adult world. The development and molding of pupils' character are beneficial for the success of their sociopsychological adaptive processes and the efficiency of professional self-determination, which in turn affect positively the development of all facets of their personality.
