Ціннісний компонент у структурі мотиваційної сфери особистості військовослужбовця

B a c k g r o u n d . The article presents an analysis of modern theories and studies of the motivational sphere of personality, its structure, psychological features of functioning, and, in particular, in the context of combat activity, with the aim of outlining the value component in the structure of the motivational sphere of a serviceman's personality, defining it, and clarifying how values influence the motivation of a serviceman to combat activity. M e t h o d s . To solve the tasks set in this paper, theoretical research methods were used: analysis of scientific sources on the research topic, system analysis, synthesis, generalisation of scientific approaches, classification and specification of the system of values that determine the combat motivation of military personnel. R e s u l t s . The results indicate the key role of values in shaping the motivation of servicemen to fight, perform daily combat tasks and the desire to return to the battlefield. The analysis of scientific works shows that the motivational and value sphere is unique for each individual and a complex structure that inspires a person, encourages and gives strength to overcome life՚s difficulties. The analysed studies have also made it possible to state that the motivational and value sphere of personality as an integral psychological formation is currently represented through the phenomena of the value-sense sphere, personal values, goals of life, personal, social, and professional significance. In order to determine the motivational and value determinants of military personnel's combat activity, the characteristic features of such activity are analysed. The key definitions reflecting the relationship between values and motivation and their influence on the activity of the serviceman's personality in combat conditions are formulated. С o n c l u s i o n s . The motivational and value sphere enables the serviceman՚s personality to compare his own needs and motives with the values and social norms he has learned and understood, and regulates his activity. At the same time, it not only determines the ways and conditions for achieving goals, but also becomes a source of goals. In addition, the motivational and value sphere reflects the subjective attitude of a serviceman՚s personality to social reality, which manifests itself as a motivation for combat activity, behaviour in different situations and spheres of life. In the structure of a serviceman's personality, the motivational and value sphere characterises the internal readiness for combat activity and determines the direction of behavioural activity.

Личностные предикторы волонтерства в повседневных и экстремальных условиях

<p style="text-align: justify;">The special military operation carried out by Russia has caused an increase in the number of volunteers carrying out their activities in extreme conditions. Based on the analysis of scientific publications on the problems of volunteering, as well as the data of an empirical study on a sample of 40 people (20 volunteers of an extreme profile and 20 volunteers of a general humanitarian orientation), which included the results of a questionnaire and a comprehensive psychodiagnostic examination (“Questionnaire for assessing the propensity to volunteer activity” (V.E. Petrov); test “Altruism — egoism” (E.P. Ilyin), methodology “EDM Responsibility” (V.P. Pryadein), the method “Diagnostics of Acceptance of Others” (V. Fey), the method of diagnosing social empathy (A. Mehrabyan and N. Epstein)), psychologically significant predictors that determine people’s inclination to contrasting types of volunteer activities have been established. An assessment of the differences in the groups showed that “extreme volunteers” are characterized by increased responsibility for the results of their activities, and “volunteers of a general humanitarian orientation” are characterized by greater tolerance towards others. The psychological portrait of an “extreme volunteer” is distinguished by such characteristics of the value and motivational sphere of the personality as patriotism, participation, self-sacrifice, social involvement, and altruism. The material of the article allows us to clarify the methodological guidelines of psychological practice in the field of volunteering in extreme conditions, to detail the pattern of qualities of a successful volunteer and to individualize his professional training.</p>

THE MOTIVATION COMPONENT OF READINESS FOR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THE APPLICANTS FOR HIGHER PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION

The motivation component of readiness for professional activities in the applicants for higher pedagogical education is investigated. The relevance of the research stems from the fact that in the process of a teacher's professional activity, his/her motivation becomes an essential aspect of the specified activity. Therefore, one of the key problems of psychological and pedagogical science is connected with the study of the motivational sphere of the participants in the educational process as a leading factor in the effectiveness of educational activities. This, in turn, involves the study of realized motives involved in the formation of a personality, being a unique and free entity capable of self-determination as an important component of readiness for a certain activity. Readiness for pedagogical activity is understood as an integral formation of the personality, which consists in a focusing on pedagogical activity, arising on the basis of a positive attitude towards such activity and being conditioned by personality needs and sustainable motives, by awareness of the social significance of work, as well as by presence of professionally important and socially significant qualities, that ensure proper performance of professional duties. It was found that the motivation for the teacher's professional activity reveals a complex structure and hierarchy, and the teacher's activity is prompted by several motives forming a motivational complex that makes up a system or hierarchy of motives. In order to study the motives of future professional activity in the students of pedagogical specialties, a study of student motivation for obtaining higher education at Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University in 2021-2022 was conducted. It was determined that the motives that occupy the leading place in the professional activity of a future teacher are being constantly actualized, act and exert a significant motivational influence on human activity; these are real motives. Some other motives, located at the bottom of the hierarchy of motives, have little influence on human activity and are often not detected at all; these are potential motives that can be actualized under certain circumstances.

Student Polymotivation as a Factor of Personal Professional Growth

The article studies the peculiarities of the students' motivational and need sphere. The concept of polymotivation, which contains interpretations of the internal consistency of the motivational sphere, ways of eliminating contradictions in it regarding personal and social choices, is considered. In the context of professional development, polymotivation appears as a significant structural force and a meaningful center of personal professional growth. Due to the need to study effective mechanisms that will contribute to the development of an individual subject, modern approaches to the interpretation of the motivation of personal growth are analyzed, which allows the individual to direct efforts to mastering the chosen professional activity, desired and, at the same time, socially demanded social role; to adequately assess the discrepancy between where a young person is now and where he wants to be in order to realize himself and enjoy his life. The purpose of the study was to identify the impact of value orientations of student youth on the structure of their motivational and need sphere. To solve the set goal, the following methods were used: T. Ehlers' personality diagnosis method for success motivation and S. S. Bubnov's method for diagnosing the real structure of the value orientations of the individual. The subjects were full-time students of the National Aviation University. The obtained data showed that most of the subjects have high and moderately high indicators of motivation to achieve success and socially significant value orientations. The highest scores were obtained on the scales that determine the value of prosocial activities: "High social status and people management", "Social activity to achieve positive changes in society", "Communication". It has been proven that the intrapersonal and social determinants of the educational environment influence the formation of the structural integrity of the personal orientation of students, contribute to the development of self-regulatory processes within the educational activity at the level of the value orientations determined by them. We consider the selection of educational and narrowly personal factors that will influence the internal consistency of the motivational-needs sphere of student youth to be a further promising direction of research.

Differences of motivation profile of public sector employees in Israel depending on age and job seniority

The problem of differences of labour motivation in public sector institutions in Israel is discussed in relation to the age and job seniority of the employees. The motivation structure of public sector employees is presented from the perspective of the 12-factor motivation theory developed by Sh. Ritchi and P. Martin. The concept of labour motivation has been viewed from different perspectives, and key factors of motivation of public sector employees have been allocated. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors of the state service workers have been discussed. Based on the above, this empirical research was conducted among the 585 people aged 18 to 65 working in public institutions in Israel. The structure of the motivation sphere of the employees was studied from the perspective of the 12-factor motivation theory. Statistical analysis shows that there are differences in the level of motivation depending on the employee’s age and job seniority. Intrinsic motivation factors, such as structuring of work, social contacts, diversity and change, and the need for selfimprovement, growth, and development appear to be stronger among older employees. The results contribute to the development of work motivation plans for the employees and help to understand the key factors of public sector employee performance.

Учет гендерных особенностей мотивации профессиональной деятельности при проведении профессионального психологического отбора в ОВД

The article notes that in the staffing of activities in Russia in various fields, including in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation (hereinafter, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation), a number of problems that have a negative impact on the course and results of official activity remain relevant. One of them is to increase the effectiveness of professional psychological selection for service in the Department of Internal Affairs, one of the aspects of which is to study the motivation of professional activity of candidates for service in the Department of Internal Affairs and employees of the Department of Internal Affairs on a gender basis. This is due to demographic factors, the predominance of the female population, both in society as a whole and in power structures. Professional motivation is reflected in personality traits. When conducting professional psychological selection for service in the Department of Internal Affairs, it is important to evaluate the professional important psychological components and features of the motivational sphere of the individual, which act as an internal prerequisite for the success of the formation of professionalism, professional growth of police officers. They should correspond to the objectives of the activity being carried out. It should also be noted that there are more and more women entering the service in the Department of Internal Affairs and being employees of the Department of Internal Affairs. In this connection, we analyzed the gender characteristics of the motivation of professional activity in relation to candidates entering the service in the Department of Internal Affairs, as well as current employees, dividing them into groups based on gender. The purpose of the study: to identify gender characteristics of motivation of professional activity, similarities and differences in motivational attitudes in men and women. The object of the study is the motivation of professional activity. The subject of the study is the gender characteristics of the motivation of professional activity of candidates entering the service in the Department of Internal Affairs, as well as current employees of the Department of Internal Affairs. Research methods: theoretical analysis of psychological literature on the research problem; empirical methods of socio-psychological research (survey method; interviewing; testing of candidates entering the service in the Department of Internal Affairs, as well as current employees); statistical methods of processing the data obtained; analysis of the results of the study. 100 people took part in the survey: 50 candidates for service in the Department of Internal Affairs (25 men and 25 women) and 50 active employees of the Department of Internal Affairs (25 men and 25 women). The results of the study allowed us to conclude that there are no significant differences in the structure of motivation of professional activity in men and women. These results "destroy" the prevailing stereotypes that the profession of "policeman" is rather male and does not suit women. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the results obtained can be used by psychologists of moral and psychological support units in order to further improve the system of professional psychological selection of candidates for service in the Department of Internal Affairs and employees appointed to higher positions from among the positions of managers (chiefs).

Pedagogical practice as the basis for the formation of pedagogical values of future teachers in higher education institutions

Modern conditions for the development of higher education and accordingly, changes in the role of the teacher in this process necessitate improving the system of training future teachers of higher education institutions and developing not only professional, intellectual, moral, social skills, but also encouraging them to self-development, self-education, self-improvement as a manifestation of a value-based attitude to the performance of professional duties, which prompted the study.

Formation of the psychology of a person committing official violent crimes (on the example of an employee of the internal affairs bodies): worldview and behavior

Psychological features of the criminal's personality are important for the subjective side of the crime, and functional features determine the mechanism of the crime. Information about the official himself, as a criminal's personality, about his psychological traits and properties, including worldview and behavior, play a role in determining the subjective side of the crime from the target and motivational sphere, and the functional characteristic, in turn, determines the mechanism of committing an official violent crime, ways of concealing it, features of the mechanism of trace formation and others distinctive features of such crimes. This functional factor of official authority necessarily affects the structural and content specifics of the categorical system of personality and its dynamics. The novelty of the topic of the publication is due to the need to study the formation of the personality of a criminal official. The need to answer the question: "How was the personality of a person who commits official violent crimes formed?" led to the conduct of this study. The purpose of this publication is to determine the formation of the worldview and behavior of an official who commits violent crimes. On the basis of theory and law enforcement practice, the key directions of the worldview and behavior of the person are identified, the process of worldview is described and auxiliary questions are given in the article, the connection between professional deformation and worldview is established by the author and the key directions of behavior of an official are highlighted.

CREATIVITY AS A KEY CHARACTERISTIC OF A SPECIALIST IN TOURISM

The art of thinking, taking creative decisions, creative attitude to the surrounding world, making creative choices ‒ these are the socially valuable personal and professional skills of a specialist in the tourism industry, which must be developed in the process of his professional education, in particular foreign language training. The purpose of this study is to find out the essence and meaning of creativity as a factor of positive thinking and creative transformation of reality with the aim of its improvement, primarily in the aspect of harmonizing contradictions in the modern globalized world, as well as to emphasize the need for active, creative personality formation in the process of professional development. The relevance of the issues raised is obvious, given the role of the individual under the conditions of deepened technocratization of the information society, whose viability and security is primarily ensured by professional and humanistic potential. The work was performed using the analytical-synthetic method of researching the psychological-pedagogical conditions of the professional formation of the personality, regularities and didactic mechanisms of the development of socially valuable personal and professional qualities, the motivational sphere of a person, motivational forces and means of their regulation in the process of foreign language training. The result of the conducted research is a series of generalizations and conclusions regarding the creativity of the individual as a result of the combination of rational-sensory and intuitive knowledge of objective reality, whose prerequisite, in our opinion, is the need for new experience, a new look at things, a new interpretation of established ideas in order to develop the ability of solving problems or performing problematic tasks. The obtained results serve as a contribution to the development of the humanistic tradition in pedagogy, designed to affirm the role of the individual in the cultural-historical context.Key words: activity based approach, communicative behavior, creative attitude, foreign language training, intellectual and spiritual development, intuitive cognition, positive thinking.

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF MANIPULATIONS AND ABUSE AS FORMS OF UNEQUAL SOCIAL EXCHANGE

Relevance. Denoted as the presence of deficiency, weak ordering of scientific opinions on classification criteria, differentiation, and description of manipulation and abuse (especially, psychological abuse) processes with current cultural and practical demand.
 Objective. A comparative analysis of manipulation and abuse (physical and psychological) phenomena as forms of unequal social exchange, the process and consequences of their implementation in particular was made.
 Methodology and basic concepts. The search of relevant literature on the topic with the help of which definitions and criteria describing and differentiating these phenomena were formulated.
 Results. As procedural criteria for comparison the author considers the attitude towards subjectivity of an abused/manipulated object (the simulation of subjectivity and its destruction); the influence targets (the motivational sphere, understanding of one’s needs or physical/psychological conditions for the implementation of volition); the subject of exchange (a wide range of possible resources, such as the need for security). As a result, the differences between manipulation and abuse is that in the first case motivational bases of the object’s activity gets distorted, but generally remains functioning, while in the second case the activity is interrupted and violated, and the exploitation implements through the desubjectivation. Thus, the consequences of manipulation are majorly associated with possible disorders of the motivational sphere, while the experienced abuse might affect mental qualities related to volitional functions, which determine not the direction of the one’s activity, but the activity itself, i.e., potentially a wider range of deformed structures.

FORMATION OF EDUCATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AS A CONDITION FOR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Introduction. Improving the academic performance of students is one of the urgent problems of modern higher education, since academic activity is a determining indicator of the readiness of university graduates for professional activities. Academic achievement depends on many factors, among which the authors emphasize the ability and desire to study as the basis of educational independence.
 The purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to examine the degree of influence of the formation of the motivational sphere and skills of independent work, determining the educational independence, on the academic performance.
 Materials and methods. The following methods were used to achieve the research objectives: questioning, testing, comparative and correlation analysis. The results were processed by methods of mathematical statistics in SPSS Statistics 26.
 Results. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the formation of independent work skills has a relationship with academic performance, while strong positive relationships were identified between the indicators for all five blocks of independent work skills, as well as internal and external positive motivation. Practical recommendations on maintaining the optimal motivation of students are presented.
 Practical implications. The results can be used to further investigate the factors that influence academic performance and find ways to improve it.
 Conclusion. After analyzing the results, the authors concluded that the important conditions for academic performance are the formation of the structure of independent educational activities of students, as well as the leading role of their internal and external positive motivation. Higher educational achievements are possible only with high levels of formation of the structure of students’ own educational activities and their positive motivation. From here follow two main directions related to the prevention of academic failure and dropout of students: the formation of optimal ways for them to independently solve educational, and in the future, professional problems and, in addition, high positive motivation at all its hierarchical levels.

THE USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES BY FUTURE TEACHERS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

It has been found that the use of information and communication technologies in the educational process of higher education institutions is predetermined by the urgent need of training future teachers to be able to perform their professional functions in the modern society. As information is increasingly becoming a socially significant resource, it requires highly qualified specialists who have a good command of ICT and effectively use them in their professional activities. It is worth noting that in educational activities, it is often necessary to use laboratory equipment, stands and complexes in order to increase the visibility of various phenomena and processes, so information and communication technologies are part of such complex that should perform various functions.
 It has been established that the large-scale introduction of information and communication technologies into the educational process leads to the fact that future teachers and pedagogues can be separated in the educational process and in space and time, but at the same time there is an alleged face-to-face didactic interaction between them. The peculiarities of the use of information and communication technologies by future teachers of professional training in the educational process of a higher education institution are revealed. The process of using information and communication technologies by teachers of professional education in higher educational institutions is determined and substantiated, and the peculiarities of students’ mental development before the use of information and communication technologies are characterized.
 It is established that while mastering the educational material, the formation of the motivational sphere of students is carried out through the awareness of the target setting, drawing the attention of future teachers not only to the importance of this educational component, but also to the further professional activities. The effectiveness of learning is determined not only by the content, but also by the way of learning, or the operational side of the activity. The identification of the operational side of learning activities and the process of forming it in future teachers is a central psychological problem of learning. It is proved that in the course of training, future teachers have the opportunity to analyse the received computer model and make quantitative measurements, solve the problem of choosing optimal parameters. As a part of this work, they perform the role of researchers who conduct an experiment and interpret its results. The program provides the possibility of reusing the material and choosing an individual pace of work in the classroom.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF MASTER’S STUDENTS BY MEANS OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

It has been established that modern means of information dissemination are absolutely unlimited in size, speed and type of information broadcast, and the means of navigation "network space" provide the possibility for future teachers to access any remote source of information in order to solve the problem. Information and communication technologies contribute to the formation of important components of professional training and the achievement of strategic goals to improve the efficiency of all types of educational activities and, as a result, to improve the quality of training specialists with a new type of thinking, in accordance with the requirements of the modern information society.
 The main components of professional training of master’s students by means of information and communication technologies have been analyzed. It has been proved that the main purpose of information and communication technologies is to promote the effective teaching, bring more efficiency in educational process, enhance students’ cognitive abilities, increase motivation in learners to study, and develop the ability to make rational decisions in solving problems. The article reveals the peculiarities of master’s studying with the possibilities of modern information and communication technologies. The information environment is rapidly improving that allows master’s to form the information flow according to their interests in the field of informatisation. In the process of mastering the educational material, the formation of the motivational sphere of master's students is carried out through their attention not only to the importance of the educational component, but also through their professional activity in this specialty. However, in order to increase the efficiency of the educational process, modern information and communication technologies must be used as a complete independent product.
 It has been found out that the systematic and contextual use of information and communication technologies in the professional training of master’s students advances the professional knowledge and skills acquisition, as well as develops their practical skills and adds creativity to their learning and work. Therefore, the effectiveness of the use of information and communication technologies tools in the educational process depends on the success of solving methodological problems related to the information content and the way of using automated learning systems. The results of the research indicate that modern students show considerable interest in educational information and communication technologies. It means that the rejection of directive teaching style promotes students’ independence and provides favourable opportunities for free choice of educational components and style of learning.
