CLASSROOM ATMOSPHERE

The paper presents the results of the research which aimed at determining primary school teachers’ (N=555) attitudes to maintaining discipline and classroom atmosphere during the teaching process, as well as to investigate the correlation of attitudes from two sociodemographic characteristics: sex and teaching experience. The obtained results lead to the conclusion that the teachers’ sex did not show to be a relevant independent variable for the existence of statistically significant differences in the assessment of teachers’ attitudes, whereas certain groups of teachers showed statistically significant differences regarding their teaching experience. This is especially related to teachers with less teaching experience. The conducted research may have a contribution for a better theoretical and empirical understanding of the needs and advantages of maintaining and supporting a positive and supportive classroom atmosphere.
