Abstract

Analyzed is educational motivation of senior school pupils. Theoretical part of the work includes analysis of the theory of generations, taking into account Russian conditions. Modern senior school pupils (born in 2003), according to generation theory, belong to generation Z. Empirical study was carried out in schools оf city of Arkhangelsk. Objects of the research were both teachers and students of 9–11 ages. As a result of the work, it was revealed, that in senior school age, success of education largely depends on cognitive interest of pupils. In such situation, certain contradiction arises: on the one hand, teacher must arouse interest in schoolchildren, manage this interest, develop and improve. On the other hand, if pupils are in lack cognitive interest as a motive for educational activity, it is difficult for teacher to arouse this interest on his own. In the process of interviewing teachers, the majority of informants expressed opinion, that impossible is to motivate pupil, if he don’t want. Teachers think that reasons for unformed interest are uncomfortable conditions for teachers in the system of education, as well as the lack of innovations in that system.
