The aim of the work – to analyze formation conditions of study motivation of students of Kharkiv National Medical University (hereinafter the KhNMU); to study methods of formation of students’ learning motivation in studying the discipline of Hygiene and Ecology; to determine peculiarities of the formation of motivation for the students’ educational activity. Particular attention should be paid to the issue of risk factors for the formation of academic motivation of foreign students studying at the KhNMU.
The main body. Experimental testing of the conditions for the formation of motivation for cognitive activity among students showed a low level of that parameter in foreign students. Data of study show worse level of mastery of discipline knowledge. The relevant situation is due to the insufficient level of awareness of the acquired knowledge’s significance in further professional activities. The main reasons for this situation are the low level of knowledge of the significance of the knowledge gained during the study of the discipline of Hygiene and Environment in future professional activities; as well as problems during the studies that are associated with a lack of knowledge of the Russian language.
Conclusions. Conditions for the formation of educational motivation of foreign students need to improve existing teaching methods, which will increase the level of mastering the discipline of Hygiene and Environment. It is necessary to note that special attention should be paid to the general specificity of foreign students, which requires more attention of teachers to educational and educational activities.
