Motivational and Conceptual Aspects of Students’ Self-fulfillment in University Education

Productive higher education has to ensure the process of self-fulfillment for an individual's personality in the educational system and encourage enhancement of students’ basic abilities in the process of training and future professional activities. The paper states that significant personal features of students are associated with circumstances of their self-fulfillment in the course of university training which are as follows: personal involvement in the academic process, fulfillment of students’ abilities and social integration into students’ community. The research is aimed at discovering the reflection of features of students’ self-fulfillment through their personal characteristics: needs and motivations, purposes, features of self-attitude and orientations in connection with the purpose of life. As a result of the research, a relation has been determined between the students’ self-fulfillment at the university, their ambition to learn, purposefulness, consistency of their self-attitude and a purposeful way of life.
