Motivation of Students for the Acquisition of Content in Bosnian Language and Literature Classes in Elementary School

Summary/Abstract: Bosnian language and literature is a school subject studied from the first grade of the elementary school to the end of the secondary education and it is a communicative foundation for the acquisition of content from other subjects, but also for communication in general. For this reason, it is necessary to motivate students in the best way to acquire the content of the subject at Bosnian language classes and to encourage them to learn independently. Motivation is a driving force for all students’ activities, therefore it is an indispensable and necessary part of every lesson in teaching mother tongue; a prerequisite for success of every teaching unit, so every teacher seeks to find the best way to motivate pupils and identify the most successful motivational procedures. This topic is interesting because in the Bosnian language teaching methodology there is almost no research on this methodological, pedagogical and psychological problem. The paper examines the motivation of students in the elementary school to adopt the Bosnian language and literature subject content in order to gain knowledge about the attitudes and opinions students about the motivation to learn Bosnian. Using the methods of theoretical analysis and synthesis, the compilation method, the descriptive and the survey method, we examined the attitudes of students about various motivational factors related to internal and external motivation. We also found a difference in attitudes of sixth and ninth grade elementary school students in relation to gender and age, and the extent to which the knowledge acquired in Bosnian language classes has a motivating effect on the independent acquisition of new knowledge.
