The aim of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of the impact of creative project method on the students’ learning motives. The following methods were used: general theoretical methods, testing, formative experiment, and data processing methods. It is established that the development of students’ learning motives in the educational process is uneven. It was found that the relevance of the motive for obtaining a diploma is gradually increasing during the study, and the importance of cognitive and professional motivation is declining. The average indicators of motivation for success increase in the course of education. It is concluded that the use of creative projects in the educational process is effective for enhancing the learning motivation of first- and third-year students. The prospects for further research involve improving the use of the project method as a means of enhancing learning motivation, especially for master’s students.Downloads
