Sažetak
Motivation for school achievement is an important factor for learning and choosing professional career for high school students. Some students perceive learning and curriculum as factors of stress. The aim of this research is to explore factors of stress and to find solutions for creating learning environment with lower level of stress. The core sample are fourth grade high school students. The questionnaire „Assessment of motivation and stress among high school students” was designed for the purpose of this research. Results show that female and male students experienced similar level of stress. The following factors from lower towards higher level of stress are confirmed: disrespect from professors, students’ self-expectation, exams, physical environment, bullying, homework, expectations from parents. For increasing level of motivation students suggest less demanding curriculum, more practical work, awards and praise for school achievement and induction of a new curriculum. Students suggestions for reducing stress in high school environment are decreasing level of pressure from parents and professors, less homework, improvement of exam schedule, higher objectivity in evaluation, abolishment of final high school graduation exam, more relaxing teaching methods. Results can be used for increasing motivation for learning among high school students and for decreasing level of stress, which will be useful for future general impact of school results. Limitations for research results interpretations are linked to lower number of participants and result can be applied only for gymnasium and economics curriculum.
