Psychologic features of learning activities’ motives have paramount importance for the process of mastering a profession and they’re a guarantee of professional’s personal development. The problem of learning motivation is analyzed and is actively researched by specialists in the educational psychology, pedagogical psychology and professional activity’s psychology. The goal of our research was to find out interrelation of motives of taking a master’s degree and personal features of students. The study was conducted with the 1st and 2nd year students of master’s program of Public Administration Academy of Republic Armenia. During the research we used the method of testing. We used Cattell personality inventory and method of studying the student’s motivation. 30 students of master’s programs, whose personal qualities were studied in 2014 (at the beginning of their studying for master’s degree) by the Cattell’s test, took part in the study. The motivation of training activity was researched with the method of studying student’s motivation during the tuition in 2015, by the time, when first year of master’s program was ending. We’ve provided correlational analysis, because the goal of our research was to find out relations of motivation of training activity and personal features.

The generalization of theoretical and experimental information shows that motivation of training activity of a person is provided by personal factors. Accounting of personal factors will give a chance to increase motivation of learning activity in the process of realization of educational programs. Accordingly it’ll help to prepare qualified professionals, who will fit the needs of modern society.
