MOTIVACIJSKA FUNKCIJA VREDNOVANJA UČENIČKIH POSTIGNUĆA U OKVIRU JEZIČKO-KOMUNIKACIJSKOG PODRUČJA
MOTIVATIONAL FUNCTION OF EVALUATION OF STUDENTS' ACHIEVEMENTS WITHIN THE LANGUAGE-COMMUNICATION TEACHING AREA

Summary/Abstract: Evaluating students' achievements is an extremely complex teaching activity, an indispensable part of all phases of the teaching process and one of the key components of a quality education system. The evaluation process enables teachers to collect information about the students' acquired knowledge and skills, independence, creativity, degree of competence development and demonstrated individual interests. If carried out well, the students receive feedback on their work, so the teachers can see the success of their work methods. The quality education we all strive for requires a quality evaluation process which involves continuous monitoring, reviewing and evaluating students' achievements. The paper analyses the procedures and elements of evaluation in Bosnian and foreign language teaching in primary school and in addition to the summative, the representation of formative evaluation was also analysed, as well as the motivational function of the evaluation process. After collecting the data for the purpose of designing the theoretical part of the paper, we approached the drafting of the methodological part of the paper which is the basis for empirical research of the problem. Using the methods of theoretical analysis and synthesis, comparative method, descriptive and survey method, we examined the attitudes of Bosnian and English teachers, and eighth and ninth grade elementary school students about the process of evaluating students' achievement in language teaching. The aim of the research was to determine the presence of formative evaluation in language teaching, its functions in the teaching process, differences in teachers' attitudes in relation to the language they teach, differences in students' attitudes in relation to the subject, and how motivating the evaluation process is in terms of improvement of the learning process.
