Abstract
The problem of the first-year students’ motivation to active learning has always been topical for the teachers of natural sciences, especially physics. Recently, this problem has worsened due to the general changes in school education, the most significant among which is a decrease in the number of classroom hours devoted to the study of physics at school, which is the main reason of deterioration of the level of school preparation in physics. The authors analyze the problem of motivation to studying physics for the first-year natural science students using a model of the system of mental reflection, as well as the features of the achievement motive. There is studied the possibility of freshmen students’ achieving a high level of mental reflection by forming the motive of achievement. The article gives the examples of organizations of the purpose-oriented independent activity of students in learning physics during lectures and seminars.
