Upoštevanje vrzeli: s starostjo povezane razlike v učenčevih dojemanjih učiteljev angleščine in motivacije
Povzetek
V raziskavi smo preučevali vprašanje starosti v kontekstu učenja angleščine v učnih okoljih. Pozornost smo posvetili preučevanju mogočih razlik v dojemanju njihovih učiteljev tujega jezika in motivacije v povezavi s starostjo. Skupno je v raziskavi sodelovalo 592 učencev višjih razredov osnovne šole. Izsledki so pokazali, da učenci različno dojemajo značilnosti učiteljev angleščine in njihove kompetence glede na starost. Čeprav osnovnošolci dojemajo svoje učitelje angleščine kot najsposobnejše na področju kompetenc poučevanja, pa se je izkazalo, da mlajši učenci dajejo več poudarka osebnostnim značilnostim kot profesionalnim kompetencam. Raziskava kaže tudi na razlike v motivaciji s poudarjenim upadanjem glede na učenčevo starost. Raziskava daje pomembne vpoglede za učitelje in odločevalce ter poudarja potrebo po nadaljnjem prilagajanju metod poučevanja različnim starostnim skupinam.
