Motivation of schoolchildren to educational activities as a support for the organization of independent work in informatics

One of the factors of successful learning is the presence of positive motivation of students. The problem of the study presented in the article is to determine the individual elements and types of independent work in the study of informatics for students with different levels of motivation.Based on the diagnosis of the motivational structure of the personality, a computer test was developed (in the format of a web app), the result of which is the student's motivational profile. Using a package of statistical data processing, clustering of profiles of 67 high school students was performed. In the course of the study, three motivational clusters were identified.The values  of the variable elements of the organization of independent work in informatics are revealed. Their presence and volume will make it possible to adapt learning tasks for independent work to the characteristics of students belonging to a particular motivational cluster. Variable elements are integrated into scenarios. An example of self-study scenarios for the "Array programming" section is given.It is concluded that the construction of a student's motivational profile, the determination of his motivational characteristics, make it possible to adapt the elements of independent work, to form an individual learning trajectory.
