The relationship between self-regulation and the development of will in the process of self-government of students’ personality

Th e article focuses on the relationship between the processes of self-regulation and the development of volitional qualities during the personal self-government formation in students of various specialties. Th e conducted research allowed us to establish signifi cant diff erences in this aspect among students majoring in technical fi elds, Humanities and medicine. We found that students of technical specialties are characterized by a clear organization of activities and strict forms of self-regulation, provided mainly by the external motivation and practical orientation. Humanities students are characterized by the increased internal motivation and interest in the processes of cognition, which creates conditions for active self-improvement and harmonization of personal aspirations. Medical students demonstrate a low level of structured activity compensated by high responsibility and strong internal motivation, which plays a key role in achieving academic success.
