Abstract :
Profiled education involves the selection of subjects for learning. However, there is a problem of choice for many 15-year-old students in the conditions of profile education. The students' choice of the education profile is related to the motivation to study the subject. But the students' motives may be different. These are not always internal motives. Was the profile choice correct? What motivates students to study chemistry, biology, mathematics? What helps and what prevents the study of these subjects? The teacher can receive answers to these questions by means of diagnostics of students' motivation by specially developed method. The presented methodological and diagnostic materials to measure the motivation of 15-year-old students to study chemistry, mathematics and biology are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of pre-profile training of students.
