Abstract


Starting from the fact that primary school is a very important factor for the education of young people, we were interested in how senior primary school students see school as an educational environment, which is the goal of our research. The research was conducted on a sample of 309 eighth grade primary school students in ten cities in the Republic of Serbia. In this research, a descriptive method was used, and the Questionnaire for assessing the educational function of school from the perspective of senior primary school students was designed and used as the instrument. Statistical procedures such as frequencies and percentages, mean with corresponding standard deviation were used. Differences were tested with the Student's t-test. The obtained research results show a more complete picture of the educational role of school from the perspective of senior primary school students in the Republic of Serbia. The research findings can be used for a deeper observation of this very important pedagogical problem, in order to work on greater engagement, involvement in creating and maintaining a more positive attitude of students towards the school environment.
