The relevance of formation of competent teachers capable of working in an inclusive, multicultural and digital environment is substantiated, taking into account modern educational challenges, such as: the complication of pedagogical activity due to frequent educational and digital transformations, a decrease in the prestige of pedagogical professions, emotional burnout of teachers, instability of the economic and political situation. The article analyzes modern studies in the field of motivation, which reveal the influence of external (social expectations, material incentives, the role of the teacher) and internal (striving for self-realization, interest in the profession) factors (regulators) on the professional motivation of students and the mechanisms of its formation in a higher educational institution. The factors of motivation and demotivation of professional training among students majoring in “Preschool Education” are studied. The role of the teacher is defined as central in the formation of a positive attitude of students to the teaching profession.
