Abstract

Uuringu eesmärk on analüüsida erinevusi eesti ja vene õppekeelega õpilaste akadeemilises läbipõlemises ning akadeemilise läbipõlemise seoseid erinevate kognitiivsete (matemaatikaoskused ja üldvõimekus) ja sotsiaal-kognitiivsete teguritega (arenguuskumused ja akadeemiline psühholoogiline säilenõtkus). Uuringus osales 429 kaheksanda klassi õpilast viiest vene (n = 174) ja seitsmest eesti (n = 255) õppekeelega Tallinna koolist. Tulemustest selgus, et läbipõlemise tase oli eri õppekeelega õpilastel sarnane. Kognitiivsed tegurid ei seostunud läbipõlemisega kummaski rühmas, kuid sotsiaal-kognitiivsed tegurid, kalduvus jäävususkumustele ja madal säilenõtkuse tase olid läbipõlemisega seotud mõlemas rühmas. Samuti ilmnes, et eesti õpilaste hulgas olid läbipõlemisele altimad madala säilenõtkuse taseme ja paremate matemaatikaoskustega õpilased. Edasistes uurimustes võiks keskenduda võimalustele, kuidas arendada nii arenguuskumuste kui ka säile nõtkusega seotud teadmisi ja oskusi.
