| Popis | The study's primary focus is to examine possible correlations between students' aspirations in relation to their school results and the level of their academic self-regulation, including its individual components. The importance of level of school aspirations of every adolescent individual is based upon the fact that the level of aspiration toward certain school performance significantly influences his/her future life and professional path, because it is reflected, to a significant degree, in the self-regulation mechanism applied in attaining academic goals. The results of this study indicate the importance of observing the level of students'school aspirations and supporting the development of academic self-regulation in early adolescence, because a high level of self-regulation during this developmental stage is an important predictor of later success in school and work, in social relationships, and life in general. The results of the presented study, using a sample of 336 adolescents, yielded a number of interesting interconnections, which should be reflected in the way students are prepared in school and at home during the adolescent developmental stage, particularly taking into consideration the identified gender differences. |
