Object of research is the development of temporal consciousness in ontogeny.Subqect of research is the dynamics of representations of time as a determinant of the ontogenetic development of individual consciousness. Methods of research: Theoretical methods (problem-logical method, induction, abstraction, generalization, classification, modeling) were used to summarize the theoretical and methodological bases and experimental research, development of a conceptual approach to the study of consciousness development and construction of it's hierarchical model; Empirical methods: the method of definition, method of age-sections and longitudinal study, revealed age dynamics and specific features of the phenomenon under study, subjective scaling method (the method of semantic differential), associative experiment; Experimental technique is a method of recreation of duration; Methods of mathematical processing of data: Pearson's test (hi-square), factor analysis, cluster analysis, methods of correlation (rank correlation Spearman's R, linear correlation Pearson's R). The scientific novelty of the results of research: was shown the integrative role of representations of time in the knowledge of the temporal validity of individual consciousness;was created parity - hierarchical model of consciousness development which is determined by representations of time in which time is regarded as the mean of the subjective image of the world;was motivated and introduced into the scientific vocabulary definitions "representation of time," "development of individual consciousness, deterministic representations of time.";was set the age of the dominant forms of representation of time;was fixed intensity changes and phased paths of transition of temporal consciousness from concrete to abstract reflection in the 11 - 11,5 years in adolescents;the types of development of consciousness, by changing the temporal representations: retardationaly dynamic, moderately dynamic and progressive dynamic;was demonstrated heterochrony formation in the minds of the characteristics of time;was set a different impact of operands and operators on the formation process of knowledge of temporal properties of individual consciousness;was clarified and confirmed statistically improvement in the accuracy of reproduction time period (the first level of reflection time) in the process of individual development;was recorded a negative connection comparatively to error of reproduction of time period with the general intelligence;was revealed the conditionality of awareness of temporal reality, the role of experience in the organization of the cognitive interaction of the subject with the world at different psycho-physiological basis of demonstrating the effectiveness of different intellectual activity.The practical significance of the study: the results of dissertation research used in developing educational, educational programs in the design of educational systems for professionals in the fields of general psychology, teachers, universities III-IV level of accreditation during the development of training programs and appropriate training and methodological support system for training future psychologists.The results could be used in psychological practice in the form of: methodological tools of express diagnostics of spontaneous development of consciousness aimed at the realization of individual approach in training and upbringing; used recommendations for the diagnosis of the intellectual potential of the qualitative method of play. The effect of the introduction - high. The scope of higher educational establishment, psychological services.
