The Students’ Perception of the Quality of Social Relations in School

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati učeničku percepciju kvalitete socijalnih odnosa u srednjim školama te utvrditi razlikuju li se učenici prema percepciji kvalitete socijalnih odnosa s obzirom na spol, vrstu srednje škole, razred, školski uspjeh i školske izostanke. U radu je korištena metoda anketiranja. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom listopada i studenog 2018. godine. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 384 učenika drugih, trećih i četvrtih razreda šest srednjih škola u Splitu. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako učenici bolje percipiraju kvalitetu socijalnih odnosa između i od strane odraslih u školi, nego što percipiraju kvalitetu socijalnih odnosa između i od strane učenika. Također, rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na postojanje statistički značajne razlike u učeničkoj percepciji kvalitete socijalnih odnosa u školi, među i od strane učenika s obzirom na spol, školski uspjeh, vrstu škole i školske izostanke. Utvrđena je i statistički značajna razlika u učeničkoj percepciji kvalitete socijalnih odnosa u školi od strane i među odraslima s obzirom na razred koji učenici pohađaju i školske izostanke. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na potrebu za kontinuiranim radom na poboljšanju kvalitete socijalnih odnosa među svim sudionicima odgojno-obrazovnog procesa, pri čemu se naglasak stavlja na važnost pedagoške prakse, koja može pridonijeti sustavnijem i kvalitetnijem kreiranju okruženja u kojem će se razvijati dobri međuljudski odnosi.The aim of this research was to examine students’ perceptions of the quality of social relations in secondary schools and to determine whether students differ towards the perception of the quality of social relations in terms of gender, type of secondary school, class, and school success and school absenteeism.
