Sažetak
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati razinu predznanja učenika prvih razreda gimnazije iz osnova programiranja stečenog tijekom osnovnoškolskog obrazovanja te analizirati povezanost predznanja s pohađanjem izborne nastave informatike i stavovima učenika prema programiranju. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 96 učenika opće i prirodoslovno-matematičke gimnazije. Podaci su prikupljeni online upitnikom koji je uključivao pitanja o prethodnom iskustvu učenika, skalu stavova prema programiranju te test predznanja iz osnova programiranja u programskom jeziku Python. Za analizu podataka korišteni su deskriptivni pokazatelji, Mann–Whitney U test i Spearmanova korelacijska analiza. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su izraženu heterogenost u razini predznanja učenika pri ulasku u srednjoškolsko obrazovanje. Utvrđeno je da učenici koji su pohađali informatiku kao izborni predmet u višim razredima osnovne škole ostvaruju statistički značajno bolje rezultate na testu predznanja u odnosu na učenike koji nisu pohađali izbornu nastavu informatike. Također, rezultati su pokazali statistički značajnu povezanost između pozitivnih stavova prema programiranju i uspješnosti na testu predznanja. Najizraženije povezanosti utvrđene su kod percepcije korisnosti programiranja za budući posao te kod tvrdnji povezanih s interesom učenika za programiranje. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na važnost kontinuiranog razvoja računalnog razmišljanja i programiranja tijekom osnovnoškolskog obrazovanja te na potrebu za prilagodbom nastave različitim razinama predznanja učenika pri ulasku u srednju školu. Također, naglašavaju važnost motivacijskih i afektivnih čimbenika u učenju programiranja.Reference
