II.Pilot study motivation of students of pedagogical specialtiesObject of study - 1st year students of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology of MarSU (Yoshkar-Ola).
Target–
explore the nature of the motives that encourage students to study.
Research objectives:
1) To study the structure of the motivational sphere of students;
2) Determine the prevailing type of professional motivation (internal, external motivation) in the group;
3) Determine the level of motivation vocational training.
2.1. Analysis of the methodology for determining the motivation of learning (Katashev V.G.)
The methodology for measuring the motivation of students' professional training can be presented in the following form: based on the levels of motivation described in the text, students are offered a set of questions and a series of possible answers. Each answer is assessed by students with a score from 01 to 05.
01 - confidently "no"
02 - more "no" than "yes"
03 - not sure, don't know
04 - more "yes" than "no"
05 - confident "yes"
Scaling is done by students in a special card (see Appendix 1).
Since the motivation of the individual consists of strong-willed and emotional spheres, the questions are divided into two parts. Half of the questions (24) involve identifying the level of conscious attitude to the problems of learning, and the second half of the questions (20) are aimed at identifying the emotional and physiological perception of various types of activities in changing situations.
(Questionnaire of motives see appendix 2)
When filling out the motivational scale, students give an assessment to each question and fill in each cell. The instructor then totals the scores horizontally in the rightmost vertical row. The vertical numbering of the scales of the first row indicates not only the numbers of questions, but also the level of motivation.
Each scale, corresponding to one or another level of motivation, can score from 11 to 55 points without taking into account the number 0. The number of points of each scale characterizes the student's attitude to various types learning activities and each scale can be analyzed separately.
The scale, which differs from others by a large number of points, will indicate the level of motivation for learning at the university. By calculating the arithmetic mean for each scale for the group, you can also get the overall, group level of motivation.

Diagnosis of students of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology of MarSU gave the following results:
The total number of students participating in the survey was 47 people.
High level of motivation - 22 people. = 47%;
The normal level of motivation is 17 people. = 36%;
The average level of motivation is 6 people. = 13%;
Low level of motivation - 2 people. = 4%.
Pedagogical interpretation of the survey results confirms the social stability of students of the third and second levels of learning motivation, their professional purposefulness, and the desire to master an associated additional profession.
Students of the first level of learning motivation are indifferent to the learning process. At best, they show cognitive activity at the level of warning claims from the educational part. At worst, by searching for a way to replace the material equivalent of one's own manifestation of knowledge.
It is this part of the students who are more concerned about spending their leisure time, which dominates in the distribution of time.
2.2. Analysis of the Methodology for Studying the Motivation of Studying Students at the University
Target: study of the structure of the motivational sphere of students.
The methodology consists of 36 points - judgments (see Appendix 4).
Judgments were evaluated on a five-point system:
5 points - very significant,
3-4 points - significant,
1-2 points - not significant.
For each student, a qualitative analysis of the leading motives of educational activity is carried out. For the entire sample (group), the number of points that make up one or another motivational structure is determined.

Based on this table, the following data can be deduced that:
Relevant professional motivation with intrinsic motivation to enter pedagogical university, broad cognitive motives - 42 people. = 89%;
Irrelevant professional motivation with external motivation for entering a university, narrow cognitive motives - 5 people. = 11%.
2.3. Comparative analysis of the obtained results
According to the results of the study of the motivational sphere of students (see Table 2), we can conclude that the majority of students (42 people) have relevant professional motivation with internal motivation for entering the university, broad cognitive motives, and only 5 people. have irrelevant professional motivation with external motivation for entering a university, narrow cognitive motives.
Based on the foregoing, it can be noted that students enter a university with serious intentions to get an education, develop creative ideas, feel the need for constant intellectual and spiritual growth.
With regard to irrelevant motivation, we can say that students' motivation does not lie directly in knowledge. Young people go to school in order to get a deferment from military service. But, basically, students enter the university in order to obtain a diploma, feeling the prestige higher education to get a higher paying job.
Fig.1. Percentage of students' professional motivation for learning.
According to the results of the study of the motivation of students' learning (method of determining the motivation for learning students "(Katashev V.G.)) it can be said that the majority of students (22 people, 47%) are characterized by a high level of learning motivation at the university. Students with a normal level of learning motivation make up 36% (17 people) of total number respondents, with an average level of motivation - 13% (6 people) and with a low level - 4% of students (2 people).
Fig.2. Distribution of students by levels of learning motivation
Having made a comparative analysis of methods for determining the motivation of students' learning, we can draw a general conclusion - 1st year students of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology have a high level of motivation for studying at a university. This is manifested in the following characteristics: focus on educational and professional activities, on the development of self-education and self-knowledge. They tend to carefully plan their lives, setting specific goals. A high need to preserve one's own individuality, the desire for independence from others and the desire to preserve the originality, originality of one's own personality, one's views and beliefs, one's lifestyle, trying to succumb to the influence of mass trends as little as possible. The emergence of life plans, a heightened ability to empathize with the state of others, the ability to emotionally experience these states as one's own. The desire to achieve tangible and concrete results in any kind of educational activity. The ability to empathize, to an active moral attitude towards people, towards oneself and towards nature; the ability to assimilate traditional roles, norms, rules of behavior in society. During this period of life, he decides in what sequence he will apply his abilities to realize himself in work and in life itself.
Conclusion
The psychological study of motivation and its formation are two sides of the same process of educating the motivational sphere of the integrity of the student's personality. studies learning motivation necessary to identify the real level and possible prospects, as well as the zone of its closest influence on the development of each student. In this regard, the results of the study of the process of professional motivation showed new processes of the relationship between the social structure of society and the formation of new goals and needs among students.
In our work, we want to draw attention to the fact that in practice the possibility of studying professional motivation must be carried out at different stages of the development of the student's personality, since the result will be different depending on cognitive and broad social motives, as well as on levels; according to the hierarchy of the educational motivational sphere, i.e. subordination of immediate impulses to their arbitrary, conscious forms; according to the harmony and consistency of individual motives among themselves; on the stability and stability of positively colored motifs; by the presence of motives focused on a long time perspective; by the effectiveness of motives and their influence on behavior, etc. All this allows us to assess the maturity of the professional motivational sphere.
Ways of formation and features of motivation for each student are individual and unique. The task is to, relying on a common approach, to identify in what complex, sometimes contradictory ways, the formation of a student's professional motivation takes place.
Based on the results of the analysis, it can be stated that the state of professional motivation depends on whether the student evaluates the educational activity in comparison with his own, real capabilities and level of claims, as well as the impact on professional motivation of the opinion of peers with one or another level of ability.
It is expedient to study and diagnose the combination of the above parameters of motives (types, levels) in various situations of real choice. The choice situation has the advantage that they are not only conscious, but also really acting motives. It is only important that the student understands that his choice can lead to real consequences for his life, and will not remain only in words. It is then that the results of such a choice can be trusted.
Our study of the professional motivation of students allows us to identify several stages of the student's involvement in the learning process. Each of these stages is characterized, firstly, by some general attitude to learning, which, as a rule, is quite well fixed and detected (on such grounds as academic performance and class attendance, the general activity of students in terms of the number of questions and requests to the teacher, the voluntariness of learning tasks, the absence of distractions, the breadth and stability of interests in different aspects of the doctrine, etc.).
Secondly, behind each degree of a student's involvement in learning there are different motives, goals of learning.
Thirdly, each of the stages of a student's involvement in learning corresponds to one or another state, the ability to learn, which helps to understand the reason for certain motivational attitudes, barriers, the student's avoidance of difficulties in work, etc.

Appendix 4
Glossary.
motive(from lat. moveo - I move) - a material or ideal object, the achievement of which is the meaning of activity.
Motivation - it's a collection driving forces, which encourage a person to activities that have a specific target orientation.
Youth- the period of life after adolescence to adulthood (age limits are arbitrary - from 15-16 to 21-25 years).
Consciousness is the state we are in when we are not in a state of sleep without dreams.
self-awareness- the highest level of development of consciousness, a person's awareness of himself as a person. In other words, self-consciousness is an image of oneself and an attitude towards oneself.
Sphere motivational- is formed by the hierarchical structure of motives inherent in the individual. The sphere of motivation determines the scale and nature of the personality.
Need(in psychology) - the state of the individual, created by his need for objects necessary for his existence and development, and acting as a source of his activity.
Target:
desired result (object of aspiration); what you want to accomplish.
a clearly defined desired state to be achieved.
the result of activity anticipated in consciousness.
the place or object to be hit when moving an object.
Learning motivation is defined as a particular type of motivation included in a certain activity - in this case, the activity of teaching, learning activity.
Consistency- this is the continuity of actions and cycles of these actions.
Personal orientation- a set of stable motives that guide the activity of the individual and are relatively independent of the current situations.
Sustainability- constancy, staying in one state.
Interest- this is emotional experience cognitive need.
2) "Methodology for determining the motivation of learning" (Katashev V.G.).
The methodology for measuring the motivation of students' professional training can be presented in the following form: based on the levels of motivation described in the text, students are offered a set of questions and a series of possible answers. Each answer is assessed by students with a score from 01 to 05.
01 - confidently "no"
02 - more "no" than "yes"
03 - not sure, don't know
04 - more "yes" than "no"
05 - confident "yes"
Scaling is done by students in a special card (see Appendix 2).
Since the motivation of a person is made up of volitional and emotional spheres, the questions are, as it were, divided into two parts. Half of the questions (24) involve identifying the level of conscious attitude to the problems of learning, and the second half of the questions (20) are aimed at identifying the emotional and physiological perception of various types of activities in changing situations.
Questionnaire of motives, see appendix. 3.
When filling out the motivational scale, students give an assessment to each question and fill in each cell. The instructor then totals the scores horizontally in the rightmost vertical row. The vertical numbering of the scales of the first row indicates not only the numbers of questions, but also the level of motivation.
Each scale, corresponding to one or another level of motivation, can score from 11 to 55 points without taking into account the number 0. The number of points of each scale characterizes the student's attitude to various types of educational activities, and each scale can be analyzed separately.
The scale, which differs from others by a large number of points, will indicate the level of motivation for learning at the university. By calculating the arithmetic mean for each scale for the group, you can also get the overall, group level of motivation. .
2.2. Analysis and interpretation of the obtained results
The first-year students of the Faculty of Psychology and Pedagogy of the Yelabuga State Pedagogical University took part in the study. The sample consisted of 46 students. A feature of the sample was that it was predominantly female (97.8%), which generally reflects the specifics of the faculty. The study was conducted in the middle of the second semester (March 2006).
The purpose of our study was to study the professional motivation of students.
The first step in our research was getting to know each other. Acquaintance took place in the form of a conversation in a relaxed atmosphere, without the presence of teachers. Students responded adequately, responsibly and willingly answered the questions posed.
The next step was the collection of information (testing), using the methods we have chosen.
K. Zamfir determined the effectiveness of the following types of motivation: 1) cash earnings; 2) the desire for career advancement at work; 3) the desire not to be criticized by the manager and colleagues; 4) the desire to avoid possible punishments or troubles; 5) focus on prestige and respect from others; 6) satisfaction from a job well done; 7) social utility of labor. To analyze the responses, the following scale was used: 1 point - "to a very small extent", 2 points - "to a rather insignificant extent", 3 points - "not to a great extent, but not to a small extent", 4 points - to a rather large extent ", 5 points - in a very large measure."
On the basis of the data obtained, motivational complexes were calculated: the optimal balance of motives VM > IM > IM and IM = IM > IM, in which intrinsic motivation (IM) is high; extrinsic positive motivation (EPM) - equal to or lower than intrinsic motivation, but relatively high; external negative motivation (VOM) is very low and close to 1. The more optimal the motivational complex (balance of motives), the more students' activity is motivated by the very content of vocational training, the desire to achieve certain positive results in it.
The analysis of the obtained results showed that students are more satisfied with their chosen profession. Choosing between the best, optimal and worst types of ratios, most students chose the optimal complex, represented by combinations:
VM > VPM > VOM (39.1% of respondents) and VM = VPM > VOM (8.7% of respondents) (see Table 1, Appendix 4). This indicates that students with these motivational complexes are involved in this activity for its own sake, and not to achieve any external rewards. Such activity is an end in itself, and not a means to achieve some other goal. "That is, these are the students who are attracted, first of all, by interest in the learning process itself, they tend to choose more complex tasks, which positively affects the development of their cognitive processes .
Students whose motivational complex is characterized by a predominance of extrinsic motivation accounted for 43.54% of those surveyed (30.5% with extrinsic positive motivation and 13.04% with extrinsic negative motivation).
The worst motivational complexes are represented by the following ratio: PTO>VPM>VM; PTO>VPM=VM; PTO>VM>VPM and PTO=VPM=VM. These complexes have 6.52%; 4.34%; 2.17% and 2.17% of students respectively. In total, this is 15.2% of the total number of students surveyed (see Table 1 Appendix 4). This may indicate an indifferent, and probably a negative attitude towards the learning process as a whole. For such students, the value is not the acquisition of professional knowledge and skills, but the final result of their studies at the university, i.e. obtaining a diploma. Or, it can be assumed that just this number of students entered the university not of their own free will, but, for example, because their parents insisted on it. There may be other, unknown to us, reasons.
Students with external motivation, as a rule, do not receive satisfaction from overcoming difficulties in solving educational problems. So they choose more simple tasks and perform only what is necessary to receive reinforcement (assessment). The absence of an internal stimulus contributes to an increase in tension, a decrease in spontaneity, which has an overwhelming effect on the creativity of the student, while the presence of internal urges contributes to the manifestation of immediacy, originality, the growth of creativity and creativity. External motivation is the use of the "carrot and stick" method (encouragement, stimulation, criticism, punishment) or the behavioral formula (B. Skinner, K. Hull, etc.) S - R (stimulus - reaction), the introduction of competitive principles, etc. e. The main elements for this type of motivation are external stimuli - levers of influence or carriers of "irritations" that cause the action of certain motives.
Characterizing the group as a whole, we can say that the predominant type of motivation for vocational training is internal - 45.6% (although this does not account for even half of the students surveyed). In second place are students with external positive motivation - 30.5%. This type motivation is “worse” than the internal type of motivation in that, with it, students are attracted not by the activity itself, but by how it will be evaluated by others (positive assessment, encouragement, praise, etc.). And in third place are students with external negative motivation - 13.04%. The teaching of students with this type of motivation is characterized by the following features: teaching for the sake of learning, without pleasure from the activity or without interest in the subject being taught; teaching for fear of failure; teaching under compulsion or under pressure, etc. .
As can be seen from Table 3 (see Appendix 4), the motivational complex groups looks like: VM > VPM > PTO. But the indicators of these types of motivation differ slightly from each other.
According to the results of the study of students' learning motivation (method of determining students' learning motivation "(Katashev V.G.)) it can be said that the majority of students (52.2%) are characterized by an average level of learning motivation at the university (see Table 2. App 5). Students with normal and high levels of learning motivation make up 19.55% of the total number of respondents.
Based on the analysis of the obtained results, we identified the following two groups of first-year students: with a high and low level of learning motivation.
1 group of students– with a high level of learning motivation (19.55%).
This is manifested in the following characteristics: focus on educational and professional activities, on the development of self-education and self-knowledge. They tend to carefully plan their lives, setting specific goals. A high need to preserve one's own individuality, the desire for independence from others and the desire to preserve the originality, originality of one's own personality, one's views and beliefs, one's lifestyle, trying to succumb to the influence of mass trends as little as possible. The emergence of life plans, a heightened ability to empathize with the state of others, the ability to emotionally experience these states as one's own. The desire to achieve tangible and concrete results in any kind of activity, and more precisely in educational activities. The ability to empathize, to an active moral attitude towards people, towards oneself and towards nature; the ability to assimilate traditional roles, norms, rules of behavior in society. During this period of life, he decides in what sequence he will apply his abilities to realize himself in work and in life itself.
2 group of students– with a low level of learning motivation.
I would like to note that there are few such students (8.7%), but they do exist. For this group professional sphere it does not yet matter what areas of study and hobbies have for them. Students rarely think about their future; professional life is clearly something unattractive and unknown for them. They are much more comfortable with a carefree and more familiar student life, in which study competes with their favorite activities. Future plans have no real support in the present and are not supported by personal responsibility for their implementation. In our opinion, this is due to the fact that students are still in the stage of self-determination. No matter how intellectually prepared they are to comprehend everything that exists, they do not know much - there is still no experience of real practical and spiritual life in society.
Having calculated the arithmetic mean for each scale for the group, we got the general, group level of motivation (see Table 1 Appendix 5). As can be seen from the table, this group has an average level of motivation for vocational training (40.2 points).
conclusions
So, as a result of our study, it was revealed, albeit insignificant, but still dominance internal motivation of students over external motivation (VM = 45.6%; VPM + VOM = 43.54%), as well as the predominance of external positive motivation (30.5%) over external negative motivation (13.04%). The dominant motivational learning complex is the complex "VM > MLM > PTO". 39.1% of students have such a balance of motives (motivational complex). The group as a whole is characterized by the same complex. 15.2% of students have the worst motivational complex.
It was also found that the majority of students have an average level of motivation for vocational training - 52.2%. A high level is inherent in 19.55% of students, a low level - in 8.7%.
After calculating the average group score for each scale, we found that the group as a whole has an average level of motivation for learning.
Conducting a periodic measurement of motivation (1-2 times a year), you can register the dynamics of the development of motivation, both for an individual student and for a team. Such scaling makes it possible to register not only the level of motivation, but also the intra-level dynamics of development. So, if in one of the measurements in the third scale the sum of points was 38, which exceeded other levels, and in the next measurement in the same scale 43 points were scored, this will characterize the intra-level progress. A situation is possible when the same number of points is scored on different scales, then the advantage is given to a higher level of motivation. At the same time, it must be remembered that high levels of motivation (3-4) are significant from 33 points and above.
Students of the first level of learning motivation are indifferent to the learning process. At best, they show cognitive activity at the level of warning claims from the educational part. At worst, by searching for a way to replace the material equivalent of one's own manifestation of knowledge.
It is this part of the students who are more concerned about spending their leisure time, which dominates in the distribution of time.
On this basis, we can offer:
the process of vocational training of university students should be supported by intensive, near-professional activities at all stages of education (research groups, professional societies, etc.);
students with the first level of learning motivation should be given increased attention by academic management in order to create conditions for increasing motivation;
all educational activities at the university, including leisure activities, should not be built on a commercial basis.
2. Organization and research methods
2.1 Characteristics of the sample
The study was conducted in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny on the basis of school No. 43 in grades 11 "a" and 11 "b" in the period from 01.03.10. to 29.03.10 The study involved 46 people: 25 boys and 21 girls. The age of the subjects is 15 - 16 years.
2.2 Organization of the study
Purpose of the study: to study the professional motivation of high school students.
Research objectives:
To identify the motivational complex of high school students;
Determine the prevailing type of professional motivation (internal, external positive, external negative motivation) in the classroom;
Determine the level of meaning of the teaching.
The study took place in three stages:
Stage 1 - the study of professional choice according to the method of K. Zamfir in the modification of A. Rean.
Stage 2 - studying the meaning of the teachings of high school students according to the method of Katashev V.G.
Stage 3 - comparative analysis of the results of two methods.
2.3 Research methods
The study of the meaning of the teaching of high school students was carried out on the basis of special techniques. Motives are, as is well known, the reason for an interested attitude to learning as the basis of a professional choice. It can be argued that the high school student who realizes the need for knowledge necessary for future professional choice will be active in vocational training, and realizes his profession, in turn, as the only or main source of satisfaction of his material and spiritual needs.
Professional self-awareness makes the motives of learning stable, contributes to the development of a high school student's ability to set goals and achieve them. Consider the methods used for the study.
" Motivationprofessional choice(method K. Zamfir modified by A. Rean)"
The technique can be used to diagnose the motivation of professional choice, including the motivation of professional and pedagogical activity. It is based on the concept of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Appendix 1).
It is necessary to speak about the internal type of motivation when the activity itself matters for the individual. If the motivation for professional choice is based on the desire to satisfy other needs external to the content of the activity itself (motives of social prestige, wages, etc.), then in this case it is customary to talk about external motivation. External motives themselves are differentiated here into external positive and external negative. External positive motives are undoubtedly more effective and more desirable from all points of view than external negative motives.
Instruction: read the motives for professional choice listed below and rate them according to their importance to you on a five-point scale (Appendix 1).
Treatment: indicators of internal motivation (VM), external positive (EPM) and external negative (VOM) are calculated in accordance with the following keys.
VM = (score of item 6 + score of item 7)/2
VPM = (score of item 1 + score of item 2 + score of item 5) / 3
PTO \u003d (score of item 3 + score of item 4) / 2
An indicator of the severity of each type of motivation will be a number ranging from 1 to 5 (including possibly a fractional one).
Interpretation: Based on the results obtained, the motivational complex of the personality is determined. The motivational complex is a type of correlation among themselves of three types of motivation: VM, VPM and VOM.
The following two types of combination should be attributed to the best, optimal, motivational complexes:
VM > VPM > PTO and VM = VPM > PTO
The worst motivational complex is the type PTO > PPM > PPM.
Between these complexes there are other motivational complexes intermediate in terms of their effectiveness.
When interpreting, one should take into account not only the type of motivational complex, but also how much one type of motivation surpasses the other in terms of severity.
" Methodologydefinitions of the meaning of the doctrine" (Katashev V.G.)
The methodology for measuring the meaning of high school students' teaching can be presented in the following form: based on the levels of motivation described in the text, high school students are offered a set of questions and a series of possible answers. Each answer is evaluated by high school students with a score from 01 to 05.
01 - confidently "no"
02 - more "no" than "yes"
03 - not sure, don't know
04 - more "yes" than "no"
05 - confident "yes"
Scaling is done by students in a special card (Appendix 2). Since the motivation of a person is made up of volitional and emotional spheres, the questions are, as it were, divided into two parts. The first half of the questions involves identifying the level of conscious attitude to the problems of learning, and the second half of the questions is aimed at identifying the emotional and physiological perception of various types of activities in changing situations.
Questionnaire of motives - Appendix 3.
High school students, when filling out the motivational scale, evaluate each question and fill in each cell. The instructor then totals the scores horizontally in the rightmost vertical row. The vertical numbering of the scales of the first row indicates not only the numbers of questions, but also the level of motivation.
Each scale corresponding to one or another level of motivation can score from 11 to 55 points without taking into account the number 0. The number of points of each scale characterizes the attitude of a high school student to various types of educational activities and each scale can be analyzed separately. The scale, which differs from others by a large number of points, will indicate the level of motivation for learning at the university. By calculating the arithmetic mean for each scale for the class, you can also get the overall, group level of motivation.
2.4 Methods of mathematical data processing
We used the methods of mathematical statistics to process the digital material obtained as a result of the study. During the study, Student's t-p was calculated using the standard XL program.
Student's t-test is a generic name for a class of methods statistical checks hypotheses (statistical criteria) based on comparison with t-distribution. The most common cases of applying the t-test are related to checking the equality of the means in two samples
The formula for calculating the Student's criterion looks like this:
(in the numerator - the difference between the average values of the two groups, in the denominator - Square root from the sum of the squares of the standard errors of these means).
We find in the table of critical values a row with a number of degrees of freedom defined for our groups. We determine, at the significance level a, the critical value of Student's criterion.
All values of t p > t cr obtained in the test allow us to reject the null hypothesis and recognize the differences between the groups as statistically significant.
3. Studying the connection between the meaning of teaching and the professional choice of high school students
3.1 Studying the professional choice of high school students
The first step in the research was getting to know each other. Acquaintance took place in the form of a conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. The students reacted adequately, responsibly and willingly answered the questions posed.
The next step was the collection of information (testing), using the methods we have chosen.
K. Zamfir determined the effectiveness of the following types of motivation:
1) money earnings;
2) the desire for career advancement at work;
3) the desire not to be criticized by the manager and colleagues;
4) the desire to avoid possible punishments or troubles;
5) focus on prestige and respect from others;
6) satisfaction from a job well done;
7) social utility of labor.
To analyze the responses, the following scale was used: 1 point - "to a very small extent", 2 points - "to a rather insignificant extent", 3 points - "not to a great extent, but not to a small extent", 4 points - to a rather large extent "5 points - to a very large extent."
On the basis of the data obtained, motivational complexes were calculated: the optimal balance of motives VM > IM > IM and IM = IM > IM, in which intrinsic motivation (IM) is high; external positive motivation (EPM) - equal to internal motivation or lower, but relatively high; external negative motivation (VOM) - very low and close to 1. The more optimal the motivational complex (balance of motives), the more activity of high school students is motivated by the very content of vocational training, the desire to achieve certain positive results in it.
An analysis of the results obtained showed that high school students are more satisfied with their chosen profession. Choosing between the best, optimal and worst types of ratios, the majority of high school students chose the optimal complex, represented by the combinations: VM > VPM > VOM (39.1% - 18 respondents) and VM = VPM > VOM (8.7% - 4 respondents) (table one.). This indicates that high school students, with these motivational complexes, are involved in this activity for its own sake, and not to achieve any external rewards. Such activity is an end in itself, and not a means to achieve some other goal. "That is, these are high school students who are attracted, first of all, by interest in the learning process itself, they tend to choose more complex tasks, which positively affects the development of their cognitive processes .
Table 1 Correspondence of the number of respondents to a certain motivational complex

Optimal motivational complex (balance of motives);
The worst motivational complex.
High school students whose motivational complex is characterized by a predominance of external motivation made up 43.53% - 20 of them (30.5% - 14 with external positive motivation and 13.03% - 6 with external negative motivation). The worst motivational complexes are represented by the following ratio:
PTO>VPM>VM; PTO>VPM=VM; PTO>VM>VPM
PTO=VPM=VM
These complexes have:
PTO>VPM>VM - 6.52% (3 high school students);
PTO>VPM=VM - 4.34% (2 high school students);
PTO>VM>VPM - 2.17% (1 high school student);
PTO=VPM=VM - 2.17% (1 high school student), respectively.
In total, this is 15.2% (7 high school students) of the total number of high school students surveyed (Table 2). This may indicate an indifferent, and probably a negative attitude towards the learning process as a whole. For such high school students, the value is not the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but the final result of their schooling, i.e. obtaining a certificate.
Table 2 Identification of the predominant type of motivation
VM - intrinsic motivation; EPM - external positive motivation; VOM - external negative motivation;
Students with external motivation, as a rule, do not receive satisfaction from overcoming difficulties in solving educational problems. Therefore, they choose simpler tasks and perform only what is necessary to receive reinforcement (assessment). The absence of an internal stimulus contributes to an increase in tension, a decrease in spontaneity, which has an overwhelming effect on the creativity of the student, while the presence of internal urges contributes to the manifestation of immediacy, originality, the growth of creativity and creativity. External motivation is the use of the "carrot and stick" method (encouragement, stimulation, criticism, punishment) or the behavioral formula (B. Skinner, K. Hull, etc.) S - R (stimulus - reaction), the introduction of competitive principles, etc. e. The main elements of this type of motivation are external stimuli - levers of influence or carriers of "irritations" that cause the action of certain motives.
Describing the classes as a whole, we can say that the predominant type of the meaning of the teaching is internal - 45.6% (21 high school students).
In second place are high school students with external positive motivation - 30.5% (14 high school students). This type of motivation is "worse" than the internal type of motivation in that it is not the activity itself that attracts high school students, but how it will be evaluated by others (positive assessment, encouragement, praise, etc.).
And in third place are high school students with external negative motivation - 23.9% (11 high school students). The teaching of high school students with this type of motivation is characterized by the following features: teaching for the sake of learning, without pleasure from the activity or without interest in the subject being taught; teaching for fear of failure; exercise under coercion or pressure (Table 3).
Table 3. Assessment of the level of professional choice of high school students
As can be seen from Table 4, the motivational complex of the class looks like: BM > VPM > VOM. But the indicators of these types of motivation differ slightly from each other.

3.2 Exploring the meaning of the teachings of high school students
According to the results of the study of the motivation of the teaching of high school students (a method for determining the meaning of the teaching of high school students "(Katashev V.G.), it can be said that the majority of high school students 52.2% - 24 high school students are characterized by an average level of motivation for learning at school (Table 5). High school students with normal and high levels of motivation exercise account for 19.55% each - 5 people from the total number of respondents.

Note: - prevailing score.
Based on the analysis of the results obtained, we identified the following two groups of high school students with a high and low level of the meaning of learning.
I group of high school students - with a high level of meaning of teaching (19.55% - 9 people). This is manifested in the following characteristics: focus on educational and professional activities, on the development of self-education and self-knowledge. They tend to carefully plan their lives, setting specific goals. A high need to preserve one's own individuality, the desire for independence from others and the desire to preserve the originality, originality of one's own personality, one's views and beliefs, one's lifestyle, trying to succumb to the influence of mass trends as little as possible. The emergence of life plans, the desire to achieve tangible and concrete results in any kind of educational activity. The ability to empathize, to an active moral attitude towards people, towards oneself and towards nature; the ability to assimilate traditional roles, norms, rules of behavior in society. During this period of life, he decides in what sequence he will apply his abilities to realize himself in work and in life itself.
II group of high school students - with a low level of the meaning of teaching.
There are 8.7% of such high school students - 4 people. For this group, the professional sphere does not yet have the same meaning as the spheres of study and hobbies have for them. High school students rarely think about their future; professional life is clearly something unattractive and unknown for them. They are much more comfortable with a carefree life in which study competes with their favorite activities. Future plans have no real support in the present and are not supported by personal responsibility for their implementation. In our opinion, this is due to the fact that high school students are still in the stage of self-determination. No matter how intellectually prepared they are to comprehend everything that exists, they do not know much - there is still no experience of real practical and spiritual life in society.
Having calculated the arithmetic mean for each scale for the class, we got the general, group level of motivation (Table 6). As can be seen from the table, this class has an average level of meaning of the teaching (40.2 points).
Table 6 Evaluation of the level of meaning of the teachings of high school students
3.3 The relationship of professional choice and the meaning of the teachings of high school students
As a result of the study of the relationship between the meaning of education and professional choice, the following results were obtained.
The results of the methodology of K. Zamfir in the modification of A. Rean showed the predominance of internal motivation of high school students over external motivation (VM = 45.6%; MLM + VOM = 43.54%), as well as the predominance of external positive motivation MLM = 30.5% ( 14 people) over external negative motivation PTO = 13.04% (6 people). The dominant motivational complex of learning is the complex "VM > VPM >
The results of the methodology to study the meaning of the teachings of Katashev V.G. it was found that the majority of high school students have an average level of learning meaning - 52.2% (24 people). A high level is inherent in 19.55% of 9 high school students, a low level - in 8.7% (4 people).
High school students of the first level of motivation for learning are indifferent to the meaning of learning - they show cognitive activity at the level of preventing claims from the educational part, searching for a way to replace the material equivalent of their own manifestation of knowledge.
Let's compare the level of professional choice and the level of meaning of high school students' teaching (Table 7).
Table 7 Comparison of the level of professional choice and the level of meaning of the teaching of high school students
The calculation of the significance of differences in the level of professional choice and the meaning of the teachings of high school students was made according to the Student's criterion with a freedom number of 26.7.
It can be concluded that there is a relationship between the professional choice and the meaning of the teachings of high school students. The reliability of differences in the levels of professional choice and the meaning of the teaching of high school students was determined by means of Student's t-test (Table 8).
Sample 1 (B.1) - Professional choice
Sample 2 (C.2) - Meaning of the doctrine
Table 8 Calculation of Student's t-test
Result: t Emp = 3.8
Critical values
The obtained empirical value of t (3.8) is in the zone of insignificance. In Table 9, we see that there are insignificant differences in terms of indicators. Thus, our hypothesis that there is a direct relationship between the meaning of teaching and the professional choice of high school students was confirmed.
conclusions
As a result of the study, it was revealed that the predominance of internal motivation of high school students over external motivation (VM = 45.6%; PPM + PTO = 43.54%), as well as the predominance of external positive motivation PPM = 30.5% (14 people) over external negative motivation PTO = 13.04% (6 people). The dominant motivational training complex is the complex "VM > VPM > VOM". 39.1% - 18 high school students have such a balance of motives (motivational complex). The class as a whole is characterized by the same complex. 15.2% of 7 high school students have the worst motivational complex.
It was also found that the majority of high school students have an average level of learning meaning - 52.2% (24 people). A high level is inherent in 19.55% of 9 high school students, a low level - in 8.7% (4 people).
After calculating the average total score for each scale, we found that the class as a whole has an average level of motivation for learning.
Conducting a periodic measurement of motivation (1-2 times a year), it is possible to register the dynamics of the development of motivation, both for an individual graduate and for a team. Such scaling makes it possible to register not only the level of motivation, but also the intra-level dynamics of development. So, if in one of the measurements in the third scale the sum of points was 38, which exceeded other levels, and in the next measurement in the same scale 43 points were scored, this will characterize the intra-level progress. A situation is possible when the same number of points is scored on different scales, then the advantage is given to a higher level of motivation. At the same time, high levels of motivation (3-4) are significant from 33 points and above.
High school students of the first level of learning motivation are indifferent to the learning process - they show cognitive activity at the level of preventing claims from the educational part, searching for a way to replace the material equivalent of their own manifestation of knowledge.
It is this part of high school students who are more concerned about spending their leisure time, which dominates in the distribution of time.
On this basis, we can offer:
The process of vocational training for high school students should be supported by intensive, near-professional activities at all stages of education (circles, sections, clubs, educational establishments additional education);
High school students with the first level of learning motivation should be given increased attention by the school administration in order to create conditions for increasing motivation.
It can be concluded that there is a relationship between the professional choice and the meaning of the teachings of high school students. The reliability of differences in the levels of professional choice and the meaning of the teachings of high school students was determined by means of Student's t-test.
Thus, our hypothesis that there is a direct relationship between the meaning of teaching and the professional choice of high school students was confirmed.
motivational profile training
Conclusion
Studying the meaning of teaching is necessary to identify the real level and possible prospects, as well as the zone of its closest influence on the development of a high school student. Thus, studying the meaning of teaching is necessary to identify the real level and possible prospects, as well as the zone of its closest influence on the development of each high school student.
The study of professional motivation must be carried out at different stages of development of the personality of a high school student, since the result will be different depending on cognitive and broad social motives, as well as on levels; according to the hierarchy of the educational motivational sphere, i.e. subordination of immediate impulses to their arbitrary, conscious forms; according to the harmony and consistency of individual motives among themselves; on stability and sustainability, positively colored motives; by the presence of motives focused on a long time perspective; by the effectiveness of motives and their influence on behavior, etc. All this allows us to assess the maturity of the professional motivational sphere.
The study of the professional motivation of adolescents makes it possible to single out several levels of involvement of a high school student in the learning process. Each of these stages is characterized, firstly, by the attitude to learning on the basis of: academic performance and attendance, the general activity of adolescents in terms of the number of questions and requests to the teacher, the voluntary fulfillment of educational tasks, the absence of distractions, the breadth and stability of interests in different aspects of learning. ).
Secondly, behind each degree of involvement of a high school student in learning there are different motives, goals of learning.
Thirdly, each of the levels of a high school student's involvement in learning corresponds to one or another state, the ability to learn, which helps to understand the reason for certain motivational attitudes, barriers, the high school student's avoidance of difficulties in work, etc.
Thus, our hypothesis that there is a direct relationship between the meaning of teaching and the professional choice of high school students has been confirmed.
The problem of timely and accurate choice of the life path by graduates is not only the matter of the schoolchildren themselves and their parents. In grades 11, the subject of attention of students should be professional significant qualities. It is necessary to practice at school active forms and methods of work that would increase the level of knowledge and ideas of students about the psychology of personality, about what abilities, interests, needs, temperament, character traits are. The future of our country largely depends on the professional and life plans of the guys. Through the interaction of various departments of all levels - municipal, regional, federal, it is necessary to create modern system youth career guidance.

1.6.2 Professional motivation
With regard to the educational activities of students in the system of secondary education, professional motivation is understood as a set of factors and processes that, reflected in the mind, encourage and direct a person to study the future. professional activity. Professional motivation acts as an internal driving factor in the development of professionalism and personality, since only on the basis of it high level formation, the effective development of professional education and personality culture is possible.
At the same time, the motives of professional activity are understood as the awareness of the subjects of the actual needs of the individual, satisfied through the implementation of educational tasks and encouraging him to study future professional activities.
If a student understands what profession he has chosen and considers it worthy and significant for society, this, of course, affects how his education develops. The formation of a positive attitude towards the profession is an important factor in improving the academic performance of students. But on its own positive attitude cannot be of significant importance if it is not supported by a competent understanding of the profession (including an understanding of the role of individual disciplines) and is poorly connected with the methods of mastering it.
Proper identification of professional interests and inclinations is important prognostic factor job satisfaction in the future. The reason for inadequate choice of profession can be both external (social) factors associated with the inability to make a professional choice according to interests, and internal (psychological) factors associated with insufficient awareness of one's professional inclinations or with an inadequate idea of the content of future professional activity.
AT modern psychology Currently, there are many different theories, the approaches of which to the study of the problem of motivation are different. When studying various theories of motivation, when determining the mechanism and structure of the motivational sphere of professional activity, we came to the conclusion that human motivation is indeed a complex system that is based on both biological and social elements, therefore, it is necessary to study the motivation of a person’s professional activity. fit in this circumstance.
The structure of the motivational sphere of a person in the process of life goes through the stages of formation and formation. This formation is a complex process that occurs both under the influence of its internal work, and under the influence of external factors of its environment.
So, the scope of knowledge on motivation is very extensive. And the result from the practical application of this knowledge is really huge in various areas of professional activity.
2. Study of professional motivation of students
2.1 Purpose, objectives of the study
The goal is to study the professional motivation of medical school students.
Research objectives:
1) To identify the motivational complex of students of the State Educational Establishment SPO "Baley Medical School (Technical School)";
2) Determine the prevailing type of professional motivation (internal, external positive, external negative motivation) in the group;
3) Determine the level of motivation for vocational training.
2.2 Description of research methods
The study of the motivation for vocational training of students was carried out on the basis of special methods.
Consider the methods used for the study.
1) "Motivation of professional activity (method of K. Zamfir)".
The technique can be used to diagnose the motivation of professional activity. It is based on the concept of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Read the motives of professional activity listed below and give an assessment of their importance to you on a five-point scale.
Indicators of internal motivation (IM), external positive (EPM) and external negative (VOM) are calculated in accordance with the following keys.
VM = (score of item 6 + score of item 7)/2
WPM = (score of item 1 + score of item 2 + score of item 5)/3
PTO \u003d (score of item 3 + score of item 4) / 2
An indicator of the severity of each type of motivation will be a number ranging from 1 to 5 (including possibly a fractional one).
Based on the results obtained, the motivational complex of the personality is determined. The motivational complex is a type of correlation among themselves of three types of motivation: VM, VPM and VOM.
The following two types of combination should be attributed to the best, optimal, motivational complexes:
VM > VPM > PTO and VM = VPM > PTO. The worst motivational complex is the type PTO > PPM > PPM.
Between these complexes there are other motivational complexes intermediate in terms of their effectiveness.
When interpreting, one should take into account not only the type of motivational complex, but also how much one type of motivation surpasses the other in terms of severity.
2) "Methodology for determining the motivation of learning" (Katashev V.G.).
The methodology for measuring the motivation of students' professional training can be presented in the following form: based on the levels of motivation described in the text, students are offered a set of questions and a series of possible answers. Each answer is assessed by students with a score from 01 to 05.
01 - confidently "no"
02 - more "no" than "yes"
03 - not sure, don't know
04 - more "yes" than "no"
05 - confidently "yes"
Scaling is done by students in a special card.
Since the motivation of a person is made up of volitional and emotional spheres, the questions are, as it were, divided into two parts. Half of the questions (24) involve identifying the level of conscious attitude to the problems of learning, and the second half of the questions (20) are aimed at identifying the emotional and physiological perception of various types of activities in changing situations.
When filling out the motivational scale, students give an assessment to each question and fill in each cell. The instructor then totals the scores horizontally in the rightmost vertical row. The vertical numbering of the scales of the first row indicates not only the numbers of questions, but also the level of motivation.
Each scale, corresponding to one or another level of motivation, can score from 11 to 55 points without taking into account the number 0. The number of points of each scale characterizes the student's attitude to various types of educational activities, and each scale can be analyzed separately.
The scale, which differs from others by a large number of points, will indicate the level of motivation for learning at the university. By calculating the arithmetic mean for each scale for the group, you can also get the overall, group level of motivation. .

1The article analyzes the results of an empirical study of ethnopsychological features of the relationship between such a component of educational and cognitive activity of students as a motivational component, with value orientations among representatives of two ethnic groups - Kazakh and Russian. In the course of the study, the existence of a vaguely expressed relationship between the motivational component and the value orientations of students was established, regardless of their belonging to the Kazakh or Russian ethnic group. At the same time, cross-cultural differences in the motivation of educational and cognitive activity of two groups of students are noted, the results of studying the content-semantic characteristics of value orientations, which do not coincide in all ethnic Russians and Kazakhs, are presented. An analysis of the data obtained during the study allows us to speak about the presence of specific features of the relationship between the motivational component and value orientations, due to belonging to an ethnocultural community with its inherent traditional values.

With transition Russian education at all levels to a new paradigm, there was a reorientation from an attitude towards the accumulation of knowledge, skills and abilities to the formation of general cultural and professional competencies, marked as active life position students, manifested in social mobility and educational and cognitive activity. The success of a wide variety of activities, including cognitive ones, largely depends on the cultural potential of the individual, since it is in the universal culture that reliable and constructive forms and methods of human interaction with the world are fixed, and in the values of the culture of each specific ethnic group, examples of typical for a given commonality of models of activity, behavior and cognition.
Relevance. The scientific data available today suggest that cognitive activity is a very structurally and functionally complex quality of a cognizing personality, which, in the presence of various research approaches, has not developed into a clearly defined and developed system. The problems of studying the values and value orientations of students have received quite detailed coverage in the psychological literature, and the relationship between such a component of the educational and cognitive activity of a person as motivational and value orientations among students belonging to different ethnic communities seems to be very relevant.
aim research is to identify the specifics of the relationship between the motivational component of educational and cognitive activity with value orientations among representatives of different ethnic groups.
Experimental base. The study was conducted on the basis of the Saratov State University. The sample is represented by students of the 2nd-4th courses, whose age composition is 18-21 years old, who identify themselves with the ethnic groups of Russians (54 people) and Kazakhs (56 people).
Methods and techniques. The research apparatus is represented by the following methods:
- studying the motivation of learning at the university T.I. Ilina;
- methodology for determining the motivation of the teachings of V.G. Katashev.
Both methods provide information about the adequacy of the student's choice of profession and satisfaction with the learning process at the university.
Educational and cognitive activity was diagnosed using the "Questionnaire of student learning activity" by A.A. Volochkova
To study individual and group ideas about the system of significant values, the method of studying the value orientations of M. Rokeach was used.
Student's t-test was used as a mathematical-statistical method.
Research results and their analysis. cognitive activity in domestic psychology(Godovikova D.B., Lisina M.I., Matyushkin A.M., Parishioners A.M. and others) is considered as a desire to be active in cognitive activity, the implementation of specific acts of cognitive behavior, the development of new information. Learning activity in the most general sense is considered as a measure of involvement in the learning process, which is manifested in the characteristics of learning motivation and the features of the implementation and regulation of learning activities. Under the educational and cognitive activity of K.A. Abulkhanova-Slavskaya understands the way of modeling, structuring and implementation of cognitive activity by a person in educational process, in which, while maintaining its individual originality, the typical features of the sociocultural community are taken into account. Characteristics of educational and cognitive activity of students in objective terms is represented by two groups of indicators: according to the results of studies (assessments during examination sessions); on the learning process (student planning of their educational activities; work at lectures, the regularity of homework preparation; participation in scientific work; learning skills development). One of the most important subjective characteristics is the motivation for higher education.
In relation to the educational activities of students in the system of higher education, motivation is understood as a set of factors and processes that induce and direct a person to study future professional activities. Under the motives of professional activity is understood the awareness of the actual needs of the individual - higher education, self-development, self-knowledge, Professional Development, increase social status and other, satisfied through the implementation of educational tasks and encouraging her to study future professional activities.
If the focus on the activity itself, the enjoyment of the activity itself, the significance for the individual of its direct process and result are important for the individual, then these motives are internal in relation to it. The other two components - the motivating force of reward for activity and the coercive pressure on the personality - fix external factors impacts, which can be both positive and negative. External motivation is associated with personal consent and approval and is accompanied by a sense of one's own choice, while the second case involves submission to external requirements.
External motivation can vary considerably in terms of relative autonomy. Students who actively participate in the work because they understand its importance for their chosen future career, are extrinsically motivated, as are those who perform work due to the control of significant adults. At the same time, external motives are differentiated into positive and negative.
The most important elements of the process of motivation of any activity are the values and norms of behavior. Values are representations of the subject, society, class, social group about the main and important goals of life and work, as well as about the main means of achieving these goals. Values include all objects and phenomena that have a positive significance in the eyes of society, the team, and the individual. The world of values is diverse and inexhaustible, just as the needs and interests of society are diverse and inexhaustible. The orientation of the individual to certain values of the material or spiritual culture of society characterizes its value orientations, which serve as a general guideline in human behavior.
Most researchers recognize the internalization of social values as the mechanism for the formation of personal values. It is the value orientations that determine the core of the individual, influence the direction and content of social activity, the general approach to the world and oneself, give meaning and direction to the individual's own position. Awareness of a certain object as a social value precedes its transformation into a personal value. However, not all values realized and even recognized by an individual actually become such. This requires the practical inclusion of the subject in activities aimed at realizing the value. For students, this activity is educational and professional, implemented in educational and cognitive activity.
The value-semantic sphere of personality can be represented in a number of components, where the concept of goal is basic: values-knowledge, values-motives, values-goals and values-meanings. Values-knowledge are reflected in the mind of a person in the form of ideas, images, information about the content of various values. They do not determine the nature of human activity and the characteristics of his personality. It's not enough to say, "I know it's important to study well." Values-motives, being conscious and accepted by a person, become the stimulus of his activity, form the basis of his value orientations, determine the nature of his attitude to the world. “Studying well is important to me because my parents believe in me.” Values-goals (terminal) underlie the actual implementation of activities, real actions of the individual and provide the opportunity to act towards achieving results, overcoming internal obstacles. “I strive to study well because I want to become a good professional.” Values-meanings reflect the personal significance of the world for a person, when knowledge of its existence as a value turns into a biased attitude towards it, becomes a meaningful life orientation of the individual in the unity of life goals, emotional richness of life and satisfaction with self-realization. "I can't imagine my life without it."
Turning to comparative analysis value orientations and the motivational component of educational and cognitive activity, it should be noted that the hierarchy of terminal and instrumental values among respondents of Russian and Kazakh nationality is largely similar. Thus, the group of meaning-forming values includes the same value orientations, both terminal and instrumental. But their "share" in the two groups varies significantly. It can be assumed that this is due to the fact that the respondents belong to one or another ethnic community, since ethnic behavior manifests such personality traits, the models of which are embedded in the cultural patterns of the ethnic community, and the ethnic function of culture serves as a psychological defense of the ethnic individuality in terms of harmonizing the ways of relations corresponding to it with the world.
Describing the general style of the Kazakhs, numerous researchers note diligence, diligence; in relation to others - conformity, high normative behavior, patience. All these qualities are reflected in the answers of students of Kazakh nationality. central place in the system life values occupy the values of social recognition, respect for others, material well-being, love, family and health, which leads to insufficient motivation for vocational training, disappointment in the profession and, most likely, to problems in organizing professional activities after graduation. From the list of instrumental values, respondents in this group most often pointed to accuracy, diligence, responsibility, self-control, tolerance for the views and opinions of others, the ability to forgive their mistakes and misconceptions, and sensitivity.
Students of Kazakh nationality studying in a multicultural environment, there is a presence in the psyche of heterogeneous psychological elements characteristic of other ethnic groups and their associations, what A.V. Sukharev defined it as ethnic marginality.
Among ethnic Russians, the values of an active active life, self-development, and spiritual satisfaction come to the fore. There is a high need for achievements, prestige, there is a desire for tangible and concrete results in all types of activities, including educational ones. Very significant values for this group of students are the possibility of expanding the common culture, their education, the opportunity creative activity and self-confidence, the value of knowledge, intellectual development. The motives associated with the awakening of interest in the very process of learning activity can be designated as motives of intellectual motivation (or simply called intellectual motives), these include the desire to independently solve the problem that has arisen, a sense of satisfaction from the very process of mental work. Faced with a difficulty that they cannot solve with the stock of knowledge they have, they are convinced of the need to acquire new knowledge or apply old knowledge in a new situation. In the presence of such motives, the process of cognition appears to be an independent value for the individual. These motives in the group of Russian respondents are much more common than among Kazakhs (Student's t = 2.71 at p<0,01).
Since 90% of the group are girls, it is not surprising that such values as having true friends, spiritual and physical intimacy with a loved one, a happy family life, and the possibility of creative activity are noted by almost all respondents. It should be noted that the material values of Russian students are also located far from the periphery.
Such instrumental values as high demands on life and high claims, independence, education, courage in defending one's own opinion, the ability to insist on one's own, not to retreat in the face of difficulties, were most often indicated by Russians (Student's t = 2.84 at p<0,01) .
In the overall picture of the severity of the teaching motives of the overwhelming majority of Russian students, the predominance of “professional” ones, such as the desire to acquire knowledge, curiosity, the desire to acquire professional knowledge and form professionally important qualities, is characteristic. Students are involved in learning activities for its own sake, while obtaining a higher education document is self-evident and beyond doubt, i.e. one can state with confidence the mood to achieve success in the profession.
Among students of Kazakh nationality, the “acquisition of knowledge” and “mastery of a profession” scales also prevail, but at the same time there is a tendency to increase in the “obtaining a diploma” scale, which suggests that studying at a university is a formal process for many of them. Students are not attracted by the educational activity itself, they are more interested in how it will be evaluated by others, primarily by significant adults, i.e. teaching under compulsion, under pressure. The leading motives of this group of students are responsible for the final result of studying at a university - obtaining a diploma of higher education. Most likely, the motivation for the educational and professional activities of these students is the desire to satisfy other needs that are external in relation to the content of the activity itself (these are the motives of social prestige, wages, etc.).
Characterizing the sample as a whole, it can be noted that the predominant type of motivation for vocational training is internal, followed by external positive, in which students are attracted not by the educational activity itself, but by assessment, encouragement, praise, i.e. how it will be judged by others. In last place is external negative motivation. As a result of the analysis of empirical data, it was found that in quantitative terms there are some differences between the groups of ethnic Kazakhs and Russians.
The defining feature of internal motivation is the desire of the subject of activity to perform it for the sake of interest in itself, accompanied by an understanding of its meaning, the desire to set and solve difficult problems and enjoy the process of solving them, learning new things and creative activity. For students with internal motivation, learning activity is an end in itself, they are included in it not to achieve any external rewards, they are distinguished by an interest in the learning process itself, a desire for self-knowledge, professional development, and an increase in social status. Such students are characterized by the desire to choose more complex, non-standard tasks, which has a positive effect on the development of their cognitive sphere and cognitive activity. The presence of internal motives contributes to the manifestation of originality, immediacy, creativity in the process of educational professional activity. In the group of Russian respondents, students with intrinsic motivation make up 66.8%. In the sample of students of Kazakh nationality, the picture is somewhat different: the number of students with intrinsic motivation is much lower - 48.4%.
Students with external positive motivation are distinguished by an indifferent and sometimes negative attitude towards the learning process as a whole. For them, the value is not the acquisition of professional knowledge and skills, but the final result of their studies at the university, i.e. obtaining a diploma of higher education. Students in this category do not get satisfaction from overcoming difficulties in solving learning problems, so they do only what is necessary to get an assessment, while choosing the simplest tasks from the proposed ones. The absence of an internal stimulus contributes to an increase in tension, a decrease in spontaneity, which has an overwhelming effect on the student's creativity. In the group of Russian students with external positive motivation 31.2%, in the group of Kazakh students the number of students with external positive motivation increases to 46.2%
Signs of external negative motivation are: teaching for the sake of learning, without pleasure from the activity, without interest in the subjects taught; teaching for fear of failure; teaching under pressure or coercion, suggesting that they did not enter the university of their own free will, but because their parents insisted on it. In the group of Russian respondents, students with external negative motivation are only about 2.0%, and in the Kazakh sample, the number of students with external negative motivation increases almost 2.5 times - 5.4%
After mathematical processing of the results obtained in the study of instrumental values in both groups of respondents, significant differences appeared in two of them: independence (the ability to act independently, decisively) (Student's t = 2.69 at p<0,01) и смелость в отстаивании своего мнения, взглядов (t Стьюдента = 3,41 при р<0,01). Эти ценностные ориентации чаще всего проявлялись в группе русских студентов с выраженной внутренней мотивацией. Их характеризуют ориентация на собственно учебно-познавательную деятельность, интерес к ней, отличают самостоятельность и решительность, независимость суждений, необходимых при усвоении психолого-педагогических знаний, поскольку студентам, обучающимся по направлению «Психолого-педагогическое образование», нужно не только перерабатывать получаемую специфическую информацию, но и критически относиться к ней, самостоятельно структурировать знания.
The reduced desire to defend one's opinion, combined with the lack of independence of judgment among the Kazakhs, is most likely expressed in a disguised conformism characteristic of the Kazakh ethnic group.
Such a value as tolerance (to the views and opinions of other people, the ability to forgive others for their mistakes and delusions) is noted by the respondents of both groups. But if among Russians it belongs to the group of desirable ones, then Kazakh students attribute it to the group of meaning-forming values.
Conclusion
An analysis of the relationship between the motivational component of educational and cognitive activity and value orientations among university students belonging to different ethnic groups shows that it is not very pronounced. But nevertheless, the existence of some specific differences, determined by belonging to one or another ethno-cultural community with its inherent traditional values, is noted.
