Currently, the number of returns of children from foster families to public institutions reaches 10%. The study of the phenomenon of return of children from substitute families from the pedagogical and acmeological points of view is one of the most acute problems of modern social and pedagogical science and practice. The aim of the article is to identify the problems that arise among the returned children.

The relevance of the study of returns of children from substitute families is due to a growing number adoptive parents refusing to raise in orphans and children left without parental care their families. The problem lies in the fact that the processes that occur with the child and the family in the situation of return remain unexplored; the very essence of returns as a pedagogical phenomenon is not completely clear; the contradictions and resources of a child’s return from substitute families are not disclosed.

The relevance of the study is determined by the search for means of psycholinguistic evaluation of the level of professional competence of students of the faculty of education. One of the tools is the modelling of the structure of professionally significant concepts based on the results of a free associative experiment. The purpose of the research: to reconstruct the “teacher” concept in the consciousness of future primary school teachers based on the survey of informants – students of the Faculty of Psychological, Pedagogical and Special Education.
