Attitudes of students at teacher education institutions towards the standard langauage and deviations from the morphological norm

U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja provedenog među studentima 4. i 5. godine Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu, Učiteljskog fakulteta u Zagrebu te Učiteljskog fakulteta u Zagrebu, Odsjek u Petrinji, kojemu je cilj bio utvrditi stav budućih učitelja i budućih profesora hrvatskoga jezika prema hrvatskome standardnom jeziku i stupanj njihova poznavanja i uspješne primjene morfološke standardnojezične norme. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da u sve tri skupine studenti imaju relativno visok stupanj pozitivnoga stava prema hrvatskome standardnom jeziku, ali niži stupanj poznavanja morfološke norme i njezine uspješne primjene. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju potrebu za dodatnim poučavanjem studenata morfološkoj normi, osobito u područjima u kojima su odstupanja najčešća, te na, zbog utjecaja nastavnika na učenike, potrebu razvoja svijesti studenata o važnosti ovladavanja morfološkom standardnojezičnim normom i uvježbavanja njezine pravilne primjene.The paper presents the results of a research conducted among the fourth and fifth-year students at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, the Faculty of Teacher Education in Zagreb and at the Faculty of Teacher Education, local branch in Petrinja. Research aim was to determine the attitudes of future class teachers and future primary and secondary school Croatian language teachers towards the standard Croatian language, as well as their level of knowledge of the morphological norm of the standard Croatian language and its successful application. Research results show that in all three groups, students possess a fairly high level of positive attitudes towards the standard Croatian language, but a fairly low level of knowledge of the morphological norm of the standard Croatian language and its successful application. Research results further indicate that there is a need for additional teaching of the morphological norm, especially in relation to the categories where the deviations are the most frequent, and, due to its effect on their future pupils, to the need for the development of the awareness among the students about the importance of acquiring the morphological norm of the standard Croatian language and its successful application
