EVOLUTION OF PARAMETERS OF THE ORIENTATION OF EDUCATIONAL MOTIVATION AND ITS STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS IN THE SYSTEM OF CONTINUOUS TRAINING
The principle of continuity of training that has become some sort of a motto of the modern system of domestic professional education presupposes an active purposeful participation in this process of the students themselves. The degree of their activity depends to a considerable extent on the level of educational motivation (EM) and its orientation in the process of training. Apparently, the most objective criterion of the degree of expressiveness of the mentioned characteristics of IM is their assessment by the students themselves. The material presented in this paper is a result of a complex end-to-end anonymous questioning of all contingents of those engaged in the process of training at the Kursk State Medical University (KSMU) starting from applicants and ending with post-diploma faculty (PDF) students. We have summarized the data of anonymous questioning of 1493 individuals - among them separate groups of applicants, junior and senior students, interns and ordinators of clinical departments, practitioners of different specialties with different service records being trained at the PDF. The received results have revealed a practically universal for all the interrogated contingents and an extremely guarding fact of catastrophic discrepancy of the degree of being interested in the performance of educational activity declared by the students to the efforts really spent for it. The combination of psychodiagnostics of the orientation and the level of educational motivation with constant monitoring of the students' academic progress can become an actual basis of the efficiency of continuous professional training.
