Abstract

As a result of the theoretical research, the main goal was to investigate how the existing motivational theories can be implemented in the educational system of the secondary school in order to study the motivation of adolescents to study. This article includes such theories as social cognitive theory, the theory of situational expectations and values, the theory of self-recognition, and the theory of goal achievement. Social cognitive theory emphasizes the role of self-efficacy. The theory of situational expectations and values considers how students' opinion about their skills and knowledge affects the level of their involvement. The theory of goal achievement or achievement goals shows the influence of goal orientation on student motivation. The theory of self-recognition with a focus on satisfying the basic psychological needs of needs was especially highlighted. Each of these theories provides a unique perspective on what motivates students to engage in learning and self-regulate. Various theories of motivation have been described based on various studies conducted on them. The introduction of these theories into educational practice is of great importance for the development of strategies that effectively support internal and external motivation in adolescents. The importance of motivational theories and their implementation lies in the need to support students in learning even during the war in Ukraine and the influence of social networks. These external factors influence how motivational theories can be applied in current educational settings. The analysis shows the relationship between the theories and how they can create a comprehensive approach that can result in the educational process. Implementation of certain theories can lead to a better understanding of what motivates students and ways to increase motivation. By addressing the diverse motivational needs of students, teachers can help create an effective learning environment. Passion as a component of motivation is explored, highlighting aspects of harmonious and obsessive passions, which can provide additional information for further research. This theoretical study provides foundations for future motivation research and practical applications that aim to improve the learning experience of students in secondary school.
