Choosing a profession is one of the most important and critical moments in personal development. The purpose of the study was to determine the leading type of motive in choosing a profession among second-year students of the KrasSMU. We found that 60% of respondents preferred to make a choice of profession based on internal socially significant motives. In decreasing order of preference indicators, the following sequence was observed: internal individually significant motives, external positive and external negative. Internal individually significant motives in terms of high significance for the respondents took the second place — 39%. The external positive motive was preferred to be highly rated when choosing a profession — 17%, and external negative motives were preferred by 5%. The types of motives chosen by the respondents are not static. In order to maintain the correct choice of a profession associated with internal socially significant motives, as well as changing preferences for external positive and negative motives, we suggest that teachers actively use incentives and motivations, such as: regular monitoring of knowledge in the form of an oral answer at each lesson; solving situational problems from clinical practices in theoretical departments; performing creative tasks (layouts, posters, diagrams, creating videos on the topic under study) to develop existing abilities and acquire new skills, participation in research activities of departments, presentations at scientific and practical conferences with the results of research, i.e. using existing and development of new skills for the formation of an active, developing personality of a professional doctor.
Keywords: students, respondents, motive, choice of profession, questioning, internal individually significant, internal socially significant, external positive and external negative motives.
