20.500.12556/ReVIS-12246 Academic Motivation of Students in Secondary Economic Education: Adaptation of the AMS Akademska motivacija dijakov v srednješolskem ekonomskem izobraževanju: prilagoditev lestvice akademske motivacije Purpose: This study aims to examine differences in academic motivation among students in secondary economic education, focusing on gender differences, the relationship between motivation and academic performance, and the most prevalent types of motivation. Study design/methodology/approach: A quantitative research approach was used, employing an adapted version of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS-HS 20). Data were collected through an online questionnaire, and statistical methods such as t-tests, Pearson correlation, and one-way ANOVA were applied to test the hypotheses. Findings: The study found that male students exhibit significantly higher intrinsic motivation and interest in economics than female students. Additionally, a positive correlation exists between interest in economics and academic motivation. However, no statistically significant differences in motivation were found based on academic performance. Originality/value: This study contributes to the understanding of academic motivation in secondary economic education. The findings provide valuable insights for educators to develop strategies that foster both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among students. Namen: Namen te študije je preučiti razlike v akademski motivaciji med učenci v srednješolskem ekonomskem izobraževanju, s poudarkom na razlikah med spoloma, odnosu med motivacijo in akademskim uspehom ter najpogostejših vrstah motivacije. Zasnova/metodologija/pristop študije: Uporabljen je bil kvantitativni raziskovalni pristop z uporabo prilagojene različice lestvice akademske motivacije (AMS-HS 20). Podatki so bili zbrani s spletnim vprašalnikom, za preverjanje hipotez pa so bile uporabljene statistične metode, kot so t-testi, Pearsonova korelacija in enosmerna ANOVA. Ugotovitve: Študija je pokazala, da moški učenci kažejo bistveno večjo notranjo motivacijo in zanimanje za ekonomijo kot ženske učenke. Poleg tega obstaja pozitivna korelacija med zanimanjem za ekonomijo in akademsko motivacijo. Vendar pa niso bile ugotovljene statistično značilne razlike v motivaciji glede na akademski uspeh. Izvirnost/vrednost: Ta študija prispeva k razumevanju akademske motivacije v srednješolskem ekonomskem izobraževanju. Ugotovitve pedagogom zagotavljajo dragocene vpoglede za razvoj strategij, ki spodbujajo tako notranjo kot zunanjo motivacijo med učenci. academic motivation ams secondary education economic education true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-09-19 13:53:51 2025-09-19 13:53:51 2025-10-01 14:34:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 0 0 0 No. 1 Vol. 14 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-06-25 2232-5107 2232-5697 https://doi.org/10.53615/2232-5697.14.195-205 https://toknowpress.net/submission/index.php/ijmkl/article/download/198/134 1 4fcb2bc9-954f-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=14316 RAZ_Konc_Andraz_0.pdf RAZ_Konc_Andraz_0.pdf 1 CE59DD12F9572A9F3C1D5E7F42B98F88 dae91b1d6905988b2c35bf2774b9fb5bf1c9d153fd95ccffe6d633b994df581d 6c564db4-954f-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=14317 Mednarodna fakulteta za družbene in poslovne študije 0 0 0
