Resumo

Scientific research is crucial for academic and professional success. However, many students and postgraduates need more motivation to build their scientific careers. This article aims to address the issue of forming positive motivation among higher education students towards research activities. The technology that fosters positive motivation among higher education seekers towards research activities considers various ways and methods for achieving this goal. The research analyses current theoretical approaches, empirical data, and educational best practices. The proposed view on motivation formation for scientific research encompasses individual and institutional aspects, including the role of mentorship, resource availability, organisation of educational programs, and involvement in real research projects. The article discusses different approaches to stimulating interest and engaging students in scientific activities. It recommends using individual and collective methods, creating a conducive research environment, and utilising external motivational mechanisms. The authors evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies and offer practical recommendations for their implementation in educational institutions. The article determines the levels of positive motivation among higher education seekers towards research activities before and after implementing the proposed technology during a pedagogical experiment. Additionally, it discusses the significance of creating a research culture in educational institutions that will encourage active student participation in research activities and promote their long-term professional development.
