MOTIVATION OF STUDENTS TO STUDY AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of a problem of motivation development of modern students, touches on the definition of motivation, as well as features of construction of the learning process and professional development of a student through the prism of personal characteristics and psychological changes of the youth period. The author concludes that the formation of students as subjects of educational activity is impossible without the development of their appropriate motivation. The problem of motivation development is by no means new, but it is again gaining relevance in the introduction of new training standards based on system-activity, competence approaches. Both the development of competencies and the need to make choices (content, timing, forms and methods of teaching) are impossible, if students do not act purposefully, actively and responsibly in the learning process. It is the motives that perform the goals and meaning-forming functions in the activity.
