Sažetak
Class repetition is a pedagogical intervention for students who have not achieved
the set outcomes at a satisfactory level. The biggest dilemma is the academic goals
and the socio-emotional consequences that repeating a class leaves on the student.
The paper presents empirical findings on the issue of class repetition in the Republic of
Croatia. The theoretical part of this paper sets the framework for conducting research
questions related to grade repetition with regard to the grade that students repeat most
often, the number of absences of repeat students, the gender of repeat students, and the
performance of students in the repeated year. The sample consists of all the primary
school-age students in the Republic of Croatia analyzed over a period of six school
years. The results show that the seventh grade is the most frequently repeated one,
that the number of repeat students’ absences is higher, that boys repeat a grade more
often, and that part of the students also fail when repeating the grade. With empirical
findings, the authors confirm the controversial nature of the topic and point to the
harmful consequences of repeating classes.
