Abstract :
Internet-education is becoming one of traditional directions for the Russian higher education system. The openness of the educational environment of remote training turns around the problem of fluidity of a contingent of pupils. One of the aspects in the decision of this problem is definition of motives of reception of higher education and revealing of the possible reasons of interruption of training. This problem was solved by means of questionnaire of Internet-education students of SibSUTIS on e-mail. According to the received data, to number of the most significant motives for a greater part of listeners it is possible to rank the reception of the high professional qualification, opportunities of career growth, reception of new knowledge and expansion of an outlook, the increase of the social status. It is possible to designate a number of factors which can interfere with this intention: the cost of training, satisfaction the organization of educational process, difficulty in training on specialties, absence of the social and professional prospects. Obtained data are used with a view of optimization of the organization of process of remote training
