FORMATION OF INTERNAL MOTIVATION TOWARDS PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS USING TRAINING TOOLS

Abstract

This article examines how higher education students can develop
intrinsic motivation for professional activity by engaging with diverse training
technologies and methods during their studies. It conceptualises group psychological
training as an interactive pedagogical method that enhances learning engagement,
stimulates cognitive processes, supports self-development, promotes critical thinking,
and strengthens professional communication and abilities.
Training practice rests on the idea that training must motivate. It should
generate and apply new knowledge, experience, and competencies, while cultivating
self-determination, professional orientation, and continuous self-development.
Preparing specialists therefore requires the active use of training technologies that
help solve applied problems in psychology and social work.
Training sessions immerse participants in psychological practice, foster
professional skills and competencies, and guide them in resolving issues of
psychological development. Within these sessions, students acquire and practise
techniques essential for their future profession. Training-based education fosters
psychological literacy, competence, social and personal maturity, and develops the
psychological culture of future specialists.
The trainer’s professional communicative activity and competence play a
crucial role in the success of training. Training technologies function as an
innovative tool in pedagogy and psychology. Socio-psychological training, in
particular, enhances learning activity, develops critical thinking, and shapes
personal and socially significant qualities among higher education students.
