The relevance of the research topic is due to the importance of the problem of educational motivation development among students of higher education to improve the quality and efficiency of higher education. Analysis and generalization of foreign experience makes it possible to identify and include in the domestic educational practice of developing the educational motivation of students of higher education the most successful pedagogical solutions and developments that have empirically proven their effectiveness. Purpose: based on the analysis of foreign sources on the problem of educational motivation development of students of higher education, to determine and characterize the current theories applied to the study of educational motivation of students, the factors that influence its development, methods and teaching strategies. We prove that the main condition for the positive development of students’ motivation for learning and research activities is the creation by university teachers of a motivating educational environment, including: encouraging students to focus on the goals of mastery, developing competence, granting autonomy, creating zones of proximal development, etc. It is concluded that it is expedient to include foreign experience in teaching students positive motivational strategies focused on the development of motivational competence in the domestic educational practice of higher education.
