| description | Background. Youths’s realization of educational goals depends on their perceptions
of success and the factors necessary to achieve it. Formation of educational strategies
and setting professional goals begins with motivation to education, which is determined by
the social environment, the impact of values, attitudes formed in young people. The purpose
of the work is to identify the motives for obtaining higher education, the university
and the direction of training, the factors influencing the professional choice of student
youth. Materials and methods. The research method was a questionnaire survey of full-time
students from different fields of study at leading universities in Nizhny Novgorod. The study
involved 858 students from 1st to 5th year. Results. The analysis of the sociological research’s
results of higher education motivation and the choice of a university and a study
field is presented. The factors influencing the professional choice of young people, the formation
and implementation of educational strategies, the formation of professional attitudes
are identified. The similarities and differences in professional and value motivation of different
types of higher education students are shown. Conclusions. The results of the study
showed that the most popular motives for students to get higher education are the prospects
of future employment, the expectation of high income and career growth, which confirms
the views of sociologists about the pragmatism of modern Russian youth. The main motives
for students of Nizhny Novgorod universities to choose a higher education institution are
the availability of the direction of training that they are interested in, as well as the opportunity
to study at the state-financed place. The choice of the study field is primarily connected
with the intention of young people to get a specialty that causes interest and with the expectations
of an interesting study. When choosing a university and a field of study, students of
different types of universities are guided by motives that depend on their values and life
plans. |
