Abstract

The article demonstrates a problem of forming motivation to learning activities among disabled students at higher education institutions as the main means, which makes it possible to increase the level of student’s interest in the educational process and learning in general. The role of higher education institution in ensuring the integration of a young person into the society is highlighted. It will ensure that a student obtains personal and financial independence by getting a vocational education. A brief description of existing research on the motivation of disabled students to obtain higher education is given. The factors affecting the motivation of students with health limitations to get higher education are given. The learning and professional motives of such students (cognitive, social and practical) are described in detail. The demotivators of their learning (personal, social, organizational, interpersonal, financial and career choices) are indicated. It is concluded that the whole structure of motivation and professional and learning motives of ordinary students and disabled students coincide, but the special living conditions form the factors, that impede the development of educational programs and require additional measures to encourage the learning activity of disabled students. The incentives to increase the motivation of disabled students are given in the article.
