Abstract


 
 
 The article analyzes the study of the problem of motivation in scientific sources, analyzes the motivation to learn adolescents and considers the specifics of motivation to learn in adolescence. Approaches to the study of personality motivation are determined, the connection of motivation with the cognitive needs of the personality and different types of activity is shown, as well as its influence on the efficiency of knowledge acquisition. It is determined that learning motivation is characterized by focus, stability and dynamism, excited by the hierarchy of motives, which may be dominated by either internal motives related to the content of this activity and its implementation, or broad social motives related to the need to take a position. system of social relations. Taking into account the age specifics of the modern teenager, the structure of his educational motivation is specified. It was found that interest is especially important in the formation of adolescent learning motivation. In the presence of stable interest, the process of development of cognitive (cognitive) functions and vital skills is greatly facilitated. There are two tendencies: the motive of success and the motive of avoiding failure. Empirical study of the peculiarities of motivation to teach adolescents has shown that students with an average level of learning motivation have an average level of grades, their knowledge of school subjects is not deep enough. This indicates a spontaneous impact on the motivation of the adolescent and an insufficient level of purposeful work with motivation. There was a noticeable tendency to an increased level of motivation to learn in the studied adolescents, but a closer look at their motivational sphere revealed that the dominant motive is positional, ie learning success is seen as a means to obtain high status in the reference group. Prospects for further research are formulated, which consist in the development and testing of a correctional and developmental program for the formation of educational motivation of adolescent students; in the study of personal readiness of teachers to form such motivation and the readiness of practical psychologists of the education system to the appropriate psychological support of this process.
