The study aimed to investigate the formation of achievement and failure-avoidance motivations among professional education students, aiming to understand how these motivations influence academic success and personal development. Achievement motivation, focused on the desire to achieve success, was compared with failure-avoidance motivation, where actions are directed toward attempting to prevent mistakes. The research used methods such as data surveys, correlation analyses, and personality diagnostics to identify motivational factors and their relationship with anxiety levels. The results show that achievement motivation intensifies in the final years of study, particularly between the third and fourth years, due to increased involvement in specialized subjects and more defined professional trajectories. Additionally, students with high motivation levels frequently experience elevated anxiety, suggesting a complex relationship between motivation and psychological well-being.
