Abstract
The paper strives to consider the intensity and structure of motivation for studying among undergraduates of the University of Priština in Kosovska Mitrovica, as well as to check whether there are differences in the intensity of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among undergraduates of different faculties. In addition, drawing on the Theory of Self-Determination of Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, we were interested in the structure of motivation for studying in two sociocultural areas: Serbia and Croatia. The research was conducted during the summer semester of 2017 on the premises of five faculties. The Thomas-Miller scale was used to examine motivation for studying. The most intense individual motivator for studying is "I am studying, because I will be able to get / find a better job", and the presence of the intrinsic factor of motivation for studying is more pronounced. The research findings have indicated that all motivators are classified into two factors, intrinsic and extrinsic ones, and account for 51.40% of the variance of the observed measurement space. Our research obtained a different structure of factors, in relation to the research results in Croatia. Motivators "... because I simply have to" and "… because I will be able to get / find a better job" have replaced affiliation, in relation to the structure of factors obtained in the Croatian sample of respondents. Both observed factors of motivation for studying are the most intense among undergraduates of the Faculty of Medicine. Undergraduates from other faculties do not differ statistically significantly in the intensity of both motivational factors.

Summary
Проблем истраживања формулисали смо истраживачким питањем: колики је интензитет мотивисаности и каква је структура мотивације за учење међу студентима Универзитета у Приштини са привременим седиштем у Косовској Митровици? Теоријски циљ истраживања се огледа у провери почетне идеје да се мотивација за учење дели на интринзичну и екстринзичну, конкретније да ли су исти индикатори за ове две врсте мотивације за учење у два различита социокултурна подручја У складу са дефинисаним проблемом (и циљевима,) поставили смо следеће задатке истраживања: утврдити најјачи и најслабији мотиватор; проверити структуру фактора на нашем узорку са теоријском основом скале; проверити структуре фактора мотивације за учење са резултатима на узорку хрватских испитаника; проверити да ли постоји статистички значајна разлика у нивоу интринзичне мотивације међу студентима на различитим факултетима; проверити да ли постоји статистички значајна разлика у нивоу екстринзичне мотивације међу студентима на различитим факултетима
