The main empirical methods were questionnaires, interviews, surveys, conversations, questions about the motives of study, attitudes to the future profession, as well as long-term pedagogical observation of students during academic activities. As a result of the recording stage, it was determined that most students of control and experimental groups have a low level of motivation formation, which confirms the relevance of the problem of forming the motivation of bachelors and the need to solve it by testing pedagogical conditions.
