Motivational orientations predispose and condition behaviour, and determine the degree of assimilation of concepts by students during their training stage. Knowing them allows professors to conduct their lessons in order to favour maximum achievement for students. The objective of this work is to evaluate the motivation that guides the learning process of Industrial Engineering students at the University of Extremadura (Spain). About three quarters of the students present a high motivation for learning; half of them tend to be result-oriented and less than 10% show a high level of fear of failure. Homogeneous groups were formed based on the level of each dimension, and influential teaching methodologies were discussed. Therefore, it is possible to create a context that favors the acquisition of knowledge by students according to their motivations, and thus achieve maximum academic performance from them. The results shown here may be interesting for the design of promotional activities for SDGs in the university context.

The undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering at the Faculty of Technology (FT) of the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) completed 15 years in the first semester of 2019. During this period, enrolled 837 students, of which 238 (28%) have already graduated, 335 (40 %) continue to study and 263 (32%) have left the course. Given this percentage of dropout and the need to research more about the topic, this article aims to investigate the main causes of abandonment in this course in order to propose strategies to minimize the problem. The method used was the Survey, which applied a five-part electronic questionnaire sent to 203 dropout students who had e-mail. After analyzing the answers of 39 (19.21%), it was concluded that most students did not receive vocational orientation before joining the University and the main reasons that influenced the students to quit the course were the didactic-pedagogical deficiency of the teachers, the difficulty in conciliating study and work, and the course did not satisfy their expectations.

Актуальность статьи обусловлена тем, что мотивация достижений у студентов спортивных вузов отличается разной степенью сформированности, что отражается в нестабильности их результатов. Автором рассмотрены наиболее актуальные проблемы формирования мотивации достижения. Целью статьи выступило изучение степени сформированности мотивации достижений у студентов спортивных вузов. Проведенное исследование показало, что мотивационная сфера студентов отличается следующими особенностями: не устойчивостью и разной степенью сформированности от низкого до высокого уровней. В исследовании показано наличие противоречий между высоким уровнем притязаний на достижения и страхом неудачи у студентов-спортсменов, что находит отражение в нестабильности их результатов и импульсивности поведения. Полученные выводы указывают на необходимость внедрения в учебно-воспитательный процесс вуза программы формирования мотивации достижений, которая должна быть направлена на развитие тех качеств личности, которые способствуют адекватному переживанию спортивных успехов и неудач. Статья предназначена для преподавателей спортивных вузов, аспирантов и студентов высших учебных заведений, практических работников образования. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the motivation of achievements among students of sports universities differs in different degrees of formation, which is reflected in the instability of their results. The author considers the most pressing problems of the formation of achievement motivation. The purpose of the article was to study the degree of formation of achievement motivation among students of sports universities. The study showed that the motivational sphere of students is distinguished by the following features: not stability and varying degrees of formation from low to high levels. The study shows the presence of contradictions between a high level of aspirations for achievement and the fear of failure among student athletes, which is reflected in the instability of their results and impulsivity of behavior. The findings indicate the need to introduce a program for the formation of achievement motivation into the educational process of the university, which should be aimed at developing those personality traits that contribute to the adequate experience of sports successes and failures. The article is intended for teachers of sports universities, graduate students and students of higher educational institutions, practical education workers.

It is remarkable how often academic staff discover students' weaknesses in expressing their thoughts in written and oral contexts, and in team working. To examine these weaknesses, a study was conducted in 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 of students taking an engineering course. Students self-reported an initial high level of weakness in both communication skills (writing and speaking), while expressing higher levels of confidence in their team working skills. This suggested that there was significant potential for improvement in both forms of communication skills and a lower potential for the improvement of team-working skills. On that basis the Technical University of Crete organized short training workshops based on experiential learning methods, during the academic year 2012–13. Other factors taken into account were the lack of awareness of such skills in traditionally-organized Greek universities; the inability to redesign all courses, currently dependent on a content-based curriculum, on a competency basis; and findings in the international literature, which highlight specific generic skills of engineering students as essential to their studies and future career prospects. The aim was to enhance the three skills of writing, speaking and team working. Participation was voluntary and open to students from all schools in the university. This paper assesses this initiative and analyses the contribution of the workshops to skills development.

The aim of this research is identifying differences in the development of learning skills of students of engineering and humanitarian orientation in the process of their training at the University. Learning skills, as the ability to carry out the process of acquiring subject knowledge in various fields, are recognized by world experts. The importance of learning skills has increased especially at the present time, due to the need for self-development of competence in the process of professional activity after graduation. In the course of the study, the main and supplementary learning skills, as well as the ability to self-regulate training activities and academic performance of students of technical and humanitarian orientation, who are at different stages of training, were diagnosed. The results of this study show that the learning skills of students in both directions develop sideways in the process of subject learning, but this process has different results and character in relation to their development. Thus, engineering students have a higher level of learning skills and self-regulation by the end of their studies, while humanities students have a higher level of exposure to supplementary learning. Basic learning skills are developed better among engineering students with higher abilities to self-regulate learning activities, while for psychology students, this relationship is not found. In addition, the academic performance of engineering students increases with a high level of development of knowledge-building abilities, control of additional learning skills and self-regulation of educational activities. Academic performance of students in the Humanities increases with a high ability to implement independent building of knowledge, a high level of control over the motivational and volitional sphere and learning goals, as well as the ability to evaluate results in the course of educational activities.

the urgency of the problem is due to the need to find a model for the qualitative growth of training of specialists, to create a socio-cultural environment at the university that allows not only to form professional competencies, but also to influence the mental state of students, organizing comfortable activities with a high level of motivation for learning. In this aspect, the transformation of the chess system of training students can have a positive effect not only on the development of intellectual properties and personality traits, but also on the mental state of students. The aim of the research was to study the changes in the mental state of students in the process of chess training on the basis of the developed author’s concept of the international grandmaster I.V. Mikhailova. The study involved 3–4 year students of the Russian State Social University, studying the discipline “Elective courses in physical culture and sports” with a total number of 168 people. Students learned using a variety of technologies and resources, including Chess Planet, chess. com and chessKing.com platforms. To study the mental states of students, standard tests were used: SAN (Feelings, Activity, Mood), a test for loneliness by the method of subjective feeling of loneliness by D. Russell and M. Ferguson and a test by the method of Ch.D. Spielberger in Y.L. Khanin’s adaptation to identify personal and situational anxiety. The results showed that the teachers, based on the author’s concept developed by I. V. Mikhailova, generally note an increase in the comfort of the mental state, a decrease in anxiety, and an improvement in the psychoemotional state.

During training of Industrial engineering students at the University of Pretoria it was realized that no suitable micro controller system for the training of non-electronic engineers in the application of micro controllers was locally available. A micro controller system which complies with the unique training requirements of non-electronic engineers was developed. The systems were made availcdyle to the students during training and after two years in use, the design was revised and the deficiencies corrected. A software control programme was developed that combines into one, all the different programmes needed to programme the micro controller Software was also written fo r the controller which handles the communication protocol between the personal computer and the micro controller.
