Abstract

The article focuses on the problem of students involved in the education process. The study comprised students aged 10-11, 13-14 and 16-17. The total number comprises 322 students attending schools in Austria and 458 students from Slovenia. The data were collected with a questionnaire and processed on the level of descriptive and inferential statistics.
We determined that student participation in practice has not fully developed yet. The students who are attending schools in Austria detected more opportunities to participate in the decision-making process than their peers in Slovenia. The majority of the students wish to participate. We also determined a statistically significant positive impact of open class on student participation. The students who see their classes as open detect more opportunities to participate in the decision-making process.
