Abstract

Motivation for educational activities of adolescent age students is priority and one of the most difficult tasks of modern school. Low motivation for learning activities is associated with a number of negative trends: a decrease in cognitive activity and a slowdown in mental development, the appearance of negative motivation for social behavior, and a decrease in learning indicators. At the same time, positive motivation is a factor of psycho-social development, individualization and successful professionalization. This publication presents the experience of studying the motivation of adolescent students in the framework of the regional project «Improving the quality of education in schools with low learning outcomes and in schools operating in unfavorable social conditions» in the Yaroslavl region, the operator of which was the Institute for Education Development. On a representative sample of students in 6-9 grades at schools with low learning outcomes and functioning in difficult social conditions (n=1861), it is shown that students have a multivariate motivation to learn. At the same time, teachers state the predominance of low motivation to learn, which suggests a low congruence of ideas about motivation among various participants in the educational process and the need to develop and test a set of measures of psychological and pedagogical support that allows you to compensate for the identified contradictions. There were no significant differences in the level of motivation of adolescents in urban and rural schools, as well as in schools with low learning outcomes and functioning in difficult social conditions. There were significant differences between girls and boys in the motivation for learning activities, which is higher in boys. The resulting gender differences should be taken into account when implementing motivation both in an individual form, and when developing programs for the development and maintenance of internal educational motivation of students by teachers and parents.
