The relevance and significance of the study are due to the trends in the development of Russian education. Modern higher pedagogical education is focused on the formation of the personality of a future teacher, ready for changes in society through the improvement of creative abilities, the ability to communicate effectively and cooperate with other students, as well as motivation to solve educational problems. At all stages of the learning process, the professional motivation of the future teacher has become of great importance as a special personality trait that allows one to improve and develop professionally. In this regard, the question arises: what are the ways to increase the professional motivation of the future teacher in the process of studying at a pedagogical university? Objectives of the study: to clarify the concept of "professional motivation of the future teacher" in the context of modern pedagogical experience, to identify ways and forms of increasing motivation in the process of teaching at a pedagogical university. The subject of the study is the professional motivation of the future teacher in the process of studying at a pedagogical university. The study used a comprehensive approach, including the analysis of scientific literature, as well as a questionnaire, which allows determining the initial level of formation of professional motivation of future teachers. The authors of the article identified ways to increase the professional motivation of a future teacher in the process of studying at a pedagogical university, studied their role in the professional development of a future teacher, identified the main factors, methods and means that influence the process under study, and analyzed the motivation of a future teacher to work in pedagogical sphere. The authors of the work present the results of a study of the initial level of the formation of professional motivation of future teachers in the process of training at a pedagogical university, which was carried out on the basis of the Mordovian State Pedagogical University named after M. E. Evsevyev. Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that pedagogical activity requires from the future teacher certain qualities and incentives for its implementation and depends on competently set goals and objectives of pedagogical activity. The work has a theoretical significance, as it characterizes the algorithm of actions for the formation of professional motivation of the future teacher in the process of training at a pedagogical university: drawing up a “map of motivators”, forming and developing a pedagogical orientation, stimulating and developing a set of competences, using the practice-oriented approach for the formation of professional motivation of the future teacher.
