Abstract
The article presents a translation and a scholarly commentary on V. V. Repkin’s lecture “Motivational Foundations of the Activity of Study” (1997), which has not been previously published. It analyzes the structure of motivation within the activity of study in the framework of developmental instruction theory, with particular emphasis on the relationship between need, motive, and interest as a meaning-forming construct. It is demonstrated that the activity of study does not arise directly from a cognitive need as such, but emerges through the transformation of the subject’s need for self-development. In this context, interest is interpreted as a specific form of manifestation of this need, ensuring the transition from externally driven to internally grounded motivation. The article argues that interest, within the structure of the activity of study, should not be reduced to a purely cognitive phenomenon, but should be understood as a form of experiencing the meaning of activity, integrating cognitive, practical, and emotional dimensions. From this perspective, the activity of study is viewed as a space for the constitution of the subject, in which development takes the form of self-transformation.
