STUDY OF THE LEVEL AND STRUCTURE OF MOTIVATION FOR STUDIES OF BACHELOR STUDENTS IN THE DIRECTIONS OF PREPARATION "MANAGEMENT", "ECONOMY"

Abstract

Practical psychologists and theorists usually consider motivation as an extremely complex controller of behavior and moderator of human activity, a multidimensional, heterogeneous complex of "drivers" interconnected in a non-linear way. The aim of the study was to assess the quality of the motivational aspect of the education process through an analysis of the dynamics of the development of the motivational complex of students during the entire time of study at the university. The study used a classification of learning motives, dividing motives into cognitive ones, formed directly by educational activities, and external, social motives that lie outside of learning. As a research method, we used the method modified by the authors for studying the motives of A. A. Rean and V. S. Yurkevich, adapted for students in higher education. The article describes a series of techniques for developing interest in learning among university students. The results of measuring the level of motivation and the structure of the motivational complex are described and demonstrated. Ideas have been put forward that the level and structure of motivation to study can serve as an indicator of the quality of education. Suggestions for managing the motivational complex are given.
