RELATION BETWEEN SCHOOL RESULTS AND FAMILY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDENTS WITH BEHAVIOURAL DISORDERS IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine relations of the school results and family characteristics of the students in the primary school with behaviour disorders. This paper begins with the hypothesis which shows that students with bad school results have very poor family characteristics compared to students with better school results. The sample consisted of 112 students from 6 primary schools, within the municipality of Tuzla. Chi-square test showed three variables statistically important: mother's education, father's education, and socio-economic conditions in the family. The achieved results have shown that the educational inferiority of the parents and the poor socio-economic situation of the family have big influence on the school results.
