Abstract

The article analyses the strategies of coping with educational demands used by 9th grade students in Slovenia. Three aspects of coping are dealt with in particular: coping with everyday demands and problems at school; coping with problems and dilemmas in the transition from elementary to secondary school; and formal and informal forms of support available to disadvantaged students. While support on the part of the school system reflects a high level of inclusivity and a personal approach to solving potential problems, studentsʼ perceptions and strategies reveal a sense of individual responsibility and focus more on help from families. Families therefore play a key role not only in decision-making but also in organising help and support for students.

Secondary abstract:	Članek obravnava strategije spoprijemanja z zahtevami izobraževalnega sistema učencev, ki obiskujejo zadnji razred devetletke. Osredotočimo se na tri vidike spoprijemanja: na spoprijemanje z vsakdanjimi zahtevami in problemi v šoli; na spoprijemanje s težavami, ki se pojavijo pri prehodu v srednjo šolo ter na formalne in neformalne oblike podpore, ki so na razpolago deprivilegiranim učencem. Medtem ko šolski sistem podpore odraža visoko mero inkluzivnosti in osebnega pristopa v reševanju morebitne problematike, pa v mnenjih in strategijah učencev prevladuje občutek individualne odgovornosti in osredotočenost na pomoč družine. Slednja ima ključno vlogo ne zgolj v primerih odločitev temveč tudi v primeru organiziranja pomoči in podpore učencem.
