Abstract
The article investigates the dynamics of development of educational and professional motivation of students of socionomic specialities (psychologists, teachers, social workers) during their studies in higher education institutions. It has been found that in the first days of studying, almost every student shows interest in the chosen profession, tries to complete academic tasks in good faith, and seeks to create a new circle of acquaintances. However, after a while, some students begin to show indifference to their studies, losing interest in attending classes and completing individual independent tasks. The reason for this may be not only the imperfection of the organisation of the educational process in a higher education institution, but also the peculiarities of the educational and professional motivation and cognitive mental processes of applicants.
The analysis of the scientific literature has made it possible to determine that first-year students are interested in educational and cognitive activities, while senior students are more focused on educational and professional activities. During their studies at a higher education institution, students not only experience positive dynamics of changes in the formation of personal qualities, but also improve their readiness for future professional activities.
It has been determined that the development of educational and professional motivation of applicants for socio-economic specialities is influenced by their professional orientation, satisfaction with the learning process and clear goals of educational activities.
The article determines that the high flexibility of the motivational sphere of students affects their learning activity. This necessitates taking into account the personal qualities of students when developing learning conditions and the direction of their professional training. The author of the article concludes that it is necessary to create psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of educational and professional motivation of students of socio-economic specialties and their preparation for professional activity.
