Abstract
<p style="text-align: justify;">The article presents the results of a study of the educational and professional motivation of future teachers with different locus of control. The study involved first-year students of the Pedagogical Education direction (n=80) aged 17 to 21 years (M=18.6; SD=0.83). The following methods were used: &ldquo;Motivation of studying at a university&rdquo; (T.I. Ilyina), &ldquo;Test questionnaire of subjective localization of control&rdquo; (SLK) (S.R. Pantileev, V.V. Stolin). As a result of the study, it was determined that the locus of control is an important factor determining the educational and professional motivation of first-year students: students with an internal locus of control have a higher level of motivation than students with an external locus of control. Statistically significant differences were revealed in the motives of &ldquo;gaining knowledge&rdquo; and &ldquo;mastering a profession&rdquo; among students with different locus of control. The indicators of the "graduation" motive do not statistically differ between external and international students. The authors propose recommendations for improving the educational and professional motivation of first-year students in accordance with the peculiarities of their locus of control.</p>
