The article explores the problems of students’ motivation and its influence on educational effectiveness, considering the importance of motivation for young people’s personal and professional development. The significance and functions of motivation in various aspects of students’ activity were studied (including social conditions of their life). The leading educational motives of people entering a professional educational institution are “professional” ones, but the role of motives changes within the period of study. This process is considerably influenced by vocational guidance work, the organization of industrial practice, along with the possibility of further employment. The research purpose is to study the specifics of developing students’ educational motivation at theoretical and empirical levels. The research methodology and its algorithm include conducting a complex psychological and pedagogical experiment by assessing the participants’ motivation before and after the implementation of the training programme. Today, it is not sufficient to provide a student with certain knowledge. Much attention is paid to forming his/her professional readiness, which we consider as a personal quality and an essential prerequisite for effective postgraduate activity. Students’ professional readiness will help them to successfully fulfill their duties, use knowledge and experience, maintain self-control, be effective when solving production tasks and adapt to continuously evolving conditions of work. Students’ professional readiness includes the motivational component, which is expressed in the system of stable attitudes and motives. The effectiveness of developing students’ educational motivation is due to a number of pedagogical conditions, primarily the use of training as a method of increasing students’ motivation.
