Abstract [eng] An examination of documents from Lithuania and other countries revealed the importance of having a national mechanism for selecting motivated students for education-related study programmes to insure quality teacher education, the expedient use of funds, and turning teaching into a high-status profession in the public view. Research has shown that those countries that have more demanding mechanisms for selecting people for teacher education are also the countries with higher pupil achievement than countries in which selection procedures are absent. Results of the empirical research show that the motivation evaluation method is suitably reliable and valid. There are positive correlations between the student sample’s motivation evaluation scores and grade-point average, satisfaction and engagement in the study programme, intrinsic motivation and intention to become a teacher. Motivation evaluation scores of teacher education candidates correlates positively with intrinsic motivation, as well as intention to become a teacher. More than 60 percent of the candidates indicated that participation in the motivation evaluation reinforced their determination to major in education and to become a teacher in the future.
