improve the quality of students’ training, the formation of positive motivation to their
future profession. The latter, however, is impossible without a strong motivation for
teaching and learning activities related to this profession. Of course, some students

consciously chose their future profession and are ready to receive new knowledge both
for their future professional and personal growth. Though according to data obtained
from numerous interviews, most students enter the university without a willingness to
acquire new knowledge, and as a result a low motivation to learn or the absence of
motivation at all. The article deals with the study of the motives for educational activity
