EVALUATION OF PERSONAL ORIENTATING MOTIVATION OF STUDENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL STUDYING AT THE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
The analysis of adaptation of young students to the study load within their training on the faculty of medical management of the Kuban State Medical University during the 1st and 5th year has been performed. The personal orientating motivation for successful studying has been evaluated on basis of the questioning data concerning the social, cultural and psychological guidelines of students also including the detection of behavioral risk factors for developing non-infectious diseases (tobacco smoking, insufficient physical activeness, unhealthy nutrition, consumption of psychoactive substances and alcohol). The received data have coincided with the classical Yerkes-Dodson law determining the dependence of effectiveness on the motivation power. Concerning the professional motivation of students of the 1st year the maximal contentment with the chosen profession has been detected that has been hypothetically conditioned by the imagining of own future professional activity and the higher average study rating respectively. Among the students during their senior years the contentment with the chosen profession has decreased that has affected the students' academic progress. The disclosure of students' personal potential in conditions of the social activities (taking part in the social life of the university, in the students' scientific conferences, in the students' scientific club, scientific and practical conferences) improves the adaptation to the study load. Our research has revealed the causal relationship between the presence of non-infectious diseases and successfulness of studying. The behavioral factors concerning the physical, psychological and social wellness of students are worth the special attention. The received data allow us improving the organizational and methodological ways for realization of social, cultural and psychological guidelines of young students in conditions of the healthy lifestyle and the prevention of non-infectious diseases.
