Sažetak
This paper presents the results of the research whose purpose was to examine the predictive values of socio-demographic variables such as: type of high school, age (grade), gender, academic achievement, father’s and mother’s educational qualifications which contribute to a student’s high school achievement. Hierarchical multiple regression is used to evaluate the relationship of the above mentioned socio-demographic variables to predict the academic achievement motivation. The subjects of this research were students from three classes of three Tuzla high schools: High School “Mesa Selimovic”(264 students), High School of Economics (240 students) and 227 students of the Mixed Vocational High School of Mechanical Engineering. Some of the instruments which were used during this research were the VIMP (Veliki inventar motivacije postignuća − Great Inventory of Achievement Motivation), by Nenad Suzic and the Questionnaire of Socio-Demographic Conditions of Students (Upitnik o sociodemografskim prilikama učenika). When talking about the socio-demographic variables which contribute to the prediction of high school achievement motivation, it can be stated the results of research have shown that the most important factor is the student’s academic achievement (β=0,46). Also, the predictors which have statistical importance of academic achievement motivation are age (grade), type of high school and gender of the student while the socio-demographic variables such as the father’s and mother’s educational qualifi cations do not have statistical importance of academic achievement motivation.
