Abstract

The subject of the study are features of an emotional and personal sphere of 1st-year students of technical training profiles with different leading motives for learning during the preparation for the session. The authors present the results of an empirical study in which 81 first-year students of NSTU technical training profiles took part, 62 of them male, 19 female students; age from 17-20 years. The study was conducted in person 2-3 weeks before the start of the session using the STAI test, the Human Resilience Test by A.V. Makhnach, CERQ, and the test of Learning Motivation by T.I. Ilyina. As a result of the study, the predominance of students with a high level of situational anxiety (64%) was revealed. It means that the majority of students surveyed experience pronounced discomfort, tension, concern and physiological manifestations of anxiety caused by being in a stressful situation, which is also the first session at the university. The leading motivation for learning among the majority of first-year students was the motivation to gain knowledge (70% of respondents). A comparative analysis using the Mann-Whitney U-test showed that first-year students with a leading motivation for obtaining a diploma or mastering a profession, compared with students motivated by obtaining knowledge, are more characterized by self-confidence, more developed ability to overcome obstacles and demonstrate sufficient effectiveness in the event of difficulties, emotional and behavioral self-control, understanding of one’s own emotional experiences are more developed.
