PSYCHO-CORRECTION OF MOTIVATION FOR LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTS
AMONG SCHOOLCHILDREN WITH COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT DISORDERS

The paper aims to highlight the results of the research into the development of qualitative motivational processes determining the performance of cognitive activity, which contributes to raising the level of realizing the child’s possibilities when solving the assigned tasks. The experimental program for developing the achievement motivation in schoolchildren included adaptation/modification of such methods as “Communicative Attack”, “Discussion”, “Creating a Problem Situation”, and “Creating a Situation of Success” (H. Eysenck, D. McClelland, D. Elkonin, V. Davydov, Y. Tamberg, K. Popper). Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results allowed to make a conclusion that the designed psycho-corrective program for creating the motivation of academic achievements has fostered qualitative changes in the development of all the components in self-regulation of students with cognitive development disorders.
