Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the problem of motivation in the self-educational activity of scientific and pedagogical staff of higher education institutions (HEIs). It is noted that self-educational activity is a prerequisite for the professional development of scientific and pedagogical staff of such institutions. The characteristic features of self-educational activity are outlined, one of which is the presence of professional motivation. The essence of motivation is described as a driving force and a system of factors that determine the behaviour of a specialist (needs, aspirations, motives, goals, intentions, attitudes, efforts, ideals, etc.). The article highlights the main theories of motivation that identify the key factors influencing the motivation of specialists in their professional activities. A classification of motivational factors is presented, showing the complexity and diversity of motives. The relationship between professional activity and motivation is indicated, and it is found that motivation for self-education is a complex, multi-component psychological construct that encompasses a set of interrelated motives for professional activity, achievement, professional growth and personal development. The role of the motivational component in the process of self-education of scientific and pedagogical staff of HEIs is identified, which consists of stimulating them to continuous professional development and improvement. The main characteristics, indicators and functions of the motivational sphere are outlined. It is stated that a developed, stable and conscious motivation is an important condition for the effective self-education of scientific and pedagogical staff of HEIs. It is concluded that positive internal motivation for professional activity significantly increases the effectiveness of pedagogical interaction and creates favourable conditions for the self-realisation of teachers in their professional activity.
