Annotation: The article presents the results of a study of the structure of educational motivation of students studying in the psychological and pedagogical area, with varying degrees of expression of their social creativity. In order to implement the study, such psychodiagnostic methods as “Determining the social creativity of a personality” by N.P. Fetiskin and “Studying the motives of students’ learning activities” by A.A. Rean and V.A. Yakunin were used. The single-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion and the nonparametric U-Mann-Whitney criterion were used as methods of mathematical and statistical analysis. The study involved 42 respondents. In order to achieve the goals of the study, three groups of respondents with different levels of social creativity were identified from the sample. The hypothesis of the existence of statistically significant differences in the structure of educational motivation of respondents with different levels of social creativity was fully confirmed, and the specificity of the structure of educational motivation of each group of respondents was revealed. The results of the study can be used in organizing psychological support for students of psychology departments, as well as in developing relevant courses and disciplines.
