Abstract

Acquiring democratic values and competences is considered to be of the most importance objective in the classroom. An important element for reaching this objective is student participation. In this study student participation options are conditioned by grade and country.
The survey was done on a pattern of 322 students from Austrian schools and 458 from Slovenian schools. 283 students attended the 5th, 268 the 8th and 229 the 11th grade. The results show significant differences of student participation perception (p = 0,000) in favor of students from Austrian schools.
No significant differences between grades occurred, based on the students’ perception of participation.
The results show that despite proven advantages, formally given equities and constant demand for an active student participation, it still hasn’t found its place in the school routine.
