Abstract

The paper presents the outcomes of the research of learning satisfaction among the students with different motivation for professional choice (on the example of the students of Kemerovo State Medical University). The relevance of the research is in the fact that the quality and level of professional training of future specialists directly depend on the development and real state of learning satisfaction among university students. The subject of the research is learning satisfaction among students with different motivation for choosing a medical profession. The object is the motives for choosing a profession. The set of methods used in the work are as follows: theoretical analysis of literature, methods of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, methods of mathematical and statistical processing and presentation of the obtained data. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that the new data will allow to deepen the understanding of the structure of satisfaction with studying at the university for different categories of students (with different motivation for professional choice). The authors proved that the leading motives for choosing a medical specialty are moral, cognitive and social motives. Creative, aesthetic motives and motives related to the content of the work are moderately expressed. Material motives, in particular “remuneration of labor”, are manifested to a lesser extent. The practical significance of the work consists in a number of recommendations aimed at increasing the level of learning satisfaction among students with different motivation for professional choice.
