MOTIVATION FOR OBTAINING HIGHER EDUCATION BY FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

Relevance. The process of forming a student’s readiness for future professional activity requires a developed motivational sphere of personality. Professional motivation is the leading driving factor of successful learning. The actual needs of the individual here should have a close connection with their satisfaction through the solution of educational tasks related to the chosen field of activity. However, the authors note that the motives of admission to university for first-year students do not sufficiently coincide with the motives of learning a particular profession.
 The aim of the work was to pose the problem of insufficient use of the axiological approach in teaching as a condition for professional development.
 The research methodology is related to the substantiation of a value-based approach to choosing and obtaining a profession.
 Results. Analysis of the data obtained during the survey of 310 students showed that for the vast majority of them, higher education is an important factor for getting a high-paying job, but many also believe that even without higher education, a person is able to get a good job in life and get a prestigious profession. It is characteristic that respondents mostly consider their choice to be independent, positively affecting a person’s personal growth, however, almost a third of them prefer not to think about the fact that they will need to work according to the chosen profile. Such a choice cannot be called fully conscious. As a result, the motivation to learn and the quality of the educational result decreases. The authors come to the conclusion that the axiological approach in the learning process already in the first years allows them to direct their value orientations towards showing more interest in the chosen profession.

The aim is to reveal psychological features of personality of students: doctors, engineers, and jurists. Materials and methods are the following: 180 students of 1-3 year (17-25 years old): future doctors (n=80), jurists (n=50), and engineers (n=50). We studied the psychological characteristics of personality. The program «Mini-mult» of the medical diagnostic hardware and software complex «Biomysh Research» («Neurolab», Russia) was used. The statistical analysis was performed by parametric method using the Student's t-test.The results are the following: students of different specialties have intergroup and individual differences in neurodynamic and cognitive functions. The most significant difference was found on scales 1, 2, 6, 7 (р˂0.05-0.01). The personality pattern of students (future doctors and jurists) has a «peak», three-phase pattern, and no reliable differences between the contrasting ones. The average psychological profile of the personality of students, future engineers is «linear», all its indicators are between 45T and 55T. Such profile is found in persons referred to the concordant norm.Conclusions are the following: students of all studied groups are characterized by high openness and desire to present themselves in a more favorable light on indicators of three evaluation scales (L, F, K).

Development of cadets’ power qualities during the CrossFit system training

The article investigates the influence of the CrossFit system classes on the level and dynamics of the development of cadets’ power qualities in the process of training at a higher military educational institution (HMEI). The study involved cadets of the 1st-4th years (n=40) of the Odessa Military Academy, who were divided into experimental (EG, n=20) and control (CG, n=20) groups. EG cadets trained in the academy’s crossfit section, CG cadets trained according to the traditional physical training system at HMEI.
 Among the advantages of the CrossFit system are: the lack of equipment costs; a short period of time is required to do a set of exercises; a possibility of organizing outdoor training, in a gym, within a limited space; a possibility of organizing training with a large group of servicemen; a wide range of exercises eliminates the adaptation to the same type of physical load; a possibility of conducting training sessions with military servicemen with different levels of physical fitness.
 Analysis of the development of cadets’ power qualities was carried out according to the following exercises: pull-up, lifting by coup, lifting by strength on the crossbar, 24 kg kettlebell snatch, push-up on the parallel bars. It was found that that the level of power qualities development among cadets who trained according to the CrossFit system was significantly (p˂0.05) better at senior years of study than among cadets who trained according to the traditional physical training system. This allows us to argue about the need to implement crossfit means in the various forms of physical training of cadets of the academy in order to increase their physical readiness for future professional activities.
