Vztah houževnatosti žáků při učení se angličtině jako cizímu jazyku s vybranými ekonomickými a sociálními charakteristikami jejich rodiny a vrstevníků

Roč.31,č.1(2026)

Abstrakt

Houževnatost, vytrvalost a vášeň při dosahování dlouhodobých cílů, získává pozornost ve výzkumu učení cizích jazyků, avšak poznatky o faktorech jejího rozvoje jsou omezené. Tato studie zkoumá vztah mezi houževnatostí při učení se angličtině a vybranými ekonomickými a sociálními charakteristikami rodiny (materiální vybavení domácnosti, investice do vzdělávání v angličtině, probírání pokroků v angličtině) a vrstevníků (vnímané finanční možnosti kamarádů, používání angličtiny s kamarády), a také sociodemografickými charakteristikami (typ školy, zřizovatel, ročník, gender). Vzorek tvoří 2849 žáků ze čtyřletých gymnázií a středních odborných škol zaměřených na služby a na techniku. Použita byla česká verze dotazníku houževnatosti při učení se cizím jazykům obsahující dvě složky: soustavnost úsilí a konzistenci zájmu. Z rodinných a vrstevnických charakteristik má na obě složky největší efekt četnost používání angličtiny s kamarády a rodinné investice do vzdělávání v angličtině. Soustavnost úsilí však více souvisí s rodinnými a vrstevnickými charakteristikami než konzistence zájmu. Ze sociodemografických charakteristik hraje roli, i po kontrole ostatních proměnných, gender a zřizovatel pro soustavnost úsilí, a typ školy pro konzistenci zájmu. Výsledky naznačují, že rozvoj houževnatosti by měl zohlednit rozdíly mezi jejími složkami a jejich vlivy.
