DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2021-1-49-56
The article presents the results of a study of the level of development of cognitive motivation and educational and cognitive interest in younger adolescents. Features of motivation of educational activity of younger teenagers are revealed: its positive-negative orientation, conditioning of motivation by internal or external stimuli, stadiality of formation of educational motivation. The conditions for ensuring high activity in educational and cognitive activities are described. The paper notes that the motivation of educational activities is one of the main factors of its success and is a multi-component and multi-level education. Motivation of educational activity is not formed by itself, its development involves a longterm, joint activity of students and teachers, and for this purpose, schools need to constantly work to increase the level of cognitive motivation for educational activities, to activate the educational and cognitive interest of students in the classroom. It is shown that the use of the proposed universal pedagogical techniques in the lessons helps to increase the cognitive motivation for educational activities in schoolchildren. The results of the research can be used in the practical activities of teachers to develop the cognitive interest of younger adolescents and the stability of educational motives.
