Abstract

The article presents the analysis of the dictionary definitions of the concepts of “motive” and “motivation”. Some psychological and pedagogical aspects of managing educational motivation are updated, specific ways and methods of forming and developing sustainable positive motivation in the study of English by future doctors are proposed. The relationship between the content of the educational process and the ways of its implementation is proved. The aim of the study is to analyze the existing problems of the formation of positive motivation for the study of English by future doctors. The motivation of future doctors is greatly facilitated by the transition from the accumulation of knowledge to their activation and further application, and is a prerequisite for the transition from passive possession of language knowledge, communicative skills to their active use for professional and personal purposes. The author distinguishes between cognitive and professional interests. An experiment conducted in natural conditions proved that in a system of motives, cognitive interest is the most well-established, least affected by side factors. The concept of “intrinsic motivation”, which occurs during the educational process, when future doctors begin to realize the real need to learn a foreign language, is considered. This can щссгк in the process of students participating in international student conferences, conversations with foreign students who study in medical health care in Ukraine, on-line communication with foreign medical colleagues, while reading modern professional English-language literature on the treatment and prevention of various diseases, which is carried out by leading medical world's clinics and leading specialists, while getting acquainted with the latest foreign drugs and methods of treatment for various pathologies abroad and their сomparison with methods of treatment of the same pathologies in Ukrainian clinics. All these factors increase the desire of future doctors to achieve their goal which is to master the skills of English-speaking professional communication and leads to the development of the motivational sphere of students of medical specialties as an incentive to acquire new professional knowledge. Thus, as a result of creating positive motivation for students-future doctors, they purposefully, without external intervention from the teacher, use their potential in the format of an educational English-language environment to solve certain simulated professional tasks.
