Summary/Abstract: In reaction to a request from a secondary school we created and tested a draft intervention program for students. The program consisted from motivation lectures, individual 1:1 peer tutoring, and in-class workshops. The effect was measured using the Performance Motivation Questionnaire and the Questionnaire to Identify Value Orientations, Value Attitudes and Performance Motivation. The sample included 26 students aged 15 through 17 divided into experimental and control groups. In addition to some positive results (before/after differences in experimental group in Moral Value Orientation, Economic Value Orientation, and Subjective Experience of Achievements) we see addressing the problem of stimulating interest of secondary school students in their education and further studies as the main benefit of the project. Pupils almost unanimously perceived the attempts of tutors to ask about further studies as premature, and tried to avoid the topic. Stimulating interest of secondary school students in their education and further studies is a challenge that will require additional research effort.
