Motivacija učenika u inkluzivnoj nastavi i školski uspeh

The analysis of the motivation experiences of students in the conditions of inclusive education determines teaching procedures considerably. The main aim of this research was to determine whether there were any difference in motivation experience between students with learning and developmental difficulties and the students without these difficulties, and whether there is any correlation of academic success and motivation experiences between these two groups. The sample comprised 87 students of the fifth grade (24.13% students with learning and developmental difficulties, and 75.86% students without these difficulties). The examination of motivation experience was carried out by the Scale for Estimating Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation. Statistics analyses show that there are differences in experiencing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among students with and without learning and developmental difficulties. Learning difficulties correlate with lower academic achievement at the end of the fourth grade. As academic success increases the motivation experience decreases in both groups. The obtained results stress the importance of interventions by teachers and other school professionals in order to maintain motivational levels of all students. The results of this research highlight the quality of assessment system of academic achievement of all students and suggest further researching how and which way teachers understand and apply different functions of assessment.Sagledavanje doživljaja motivacije učenika u uslovima inkluzivnog obrazovanja umnogome određuje postupke u nastavi. Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja je da utvrdi da li postoji razlika u doživljaju motivacije učenika sa teškoćama u učenju i razvoju koji se obrazuju u inkluzivnoj nastavi i učenika bez ovih teškoća, kao i da li postoji korelacija između školskog uspeha i doživljaja motivacije ove dve grupe učenika. Uzorak istraživanja činilo je 87 učenika petog razreda, i to 24,13% učenika sa teškoćama u učenju i razvoju i 75,86% učenika bez teškoća. Ispitivanje doživljaja motivacije izvršeno je putem Skale za procenu spoljašnje i unutrašnje motivacije. Statističke analize su pokazale da postoje razlike u doživljaju ukupne, unutrašnje i spoljašnje motivacije učenika sa i bez teškoća u učenju i razvoju. Postojanje smetnje u učenju korelira sa postizanjem nižeg školskog uspeha na kraju četvrtog razreda. Sa porastom školskog uspeha opada doživljaj motivacije kod obe grupe učenika. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na važnost intervencije nastavnika i stručnih saradnika za održavanje i razvoj motivacije svih učenika. Rezultati ovog istraživanja stavljaju u fokus kvalitet sistema vrednovanja školskog postignuća svih učenika i pozivaju na izučavanje kako i na koji način nastavnici razumeju i primenjuju različite funkcije ocenjivanja

Early identification of children with developmental delay and behavioural problems according to parents concerns in the Republic of Serbia

The main goal of this research was to describe the type and level of parents' concerns about child development and behaviour according to the PEDS test (Parents' Evaluation of Developmental Status). The sample included 289 parents of children from three to seven years of age, from two preschool institutions in Serbia. A significantly high correlation was determined between parents' general concerns and expressed concerns with regard to behaviour ((2)=17.86, df=2, p lt .001) and getting along with others ((2)=22.57, df=2, p lt .000). A marginally significant correlation was determined between parents' general concerns and manifested concerns with regard to fine motor skills ((2)=5.90, df=2, p=.052), as well as expressive language ((2)=5.858, df=2, p=.053). According to the criteria of PEDS test, this research identified 56.4% of children whose development needed to be monitored, 27.7% of children who needed to be referred for detailed diagnostic procedures, and 1.7% who needed to be included in treatment or special education support.This is the peer‐reviewed version of the article: Ilić, S.
