Abstract Mnogi učenici doživljavaju matematiku kao jedan od najtežih predmeta, što često izaziva osjećaj frustracije i demotivacije. Takva percepcija složenosti matematičkog sadržaja može negativno utjecati na njihovu angažiranost i uspjeh u učenju, čime postaje ključno razvijati strategije koje olakšavaju razumijevanje i povećavaju interes za predmet. Također važno je primjenjivati načela u nastavi matematike jer osiguravaju strukturiran pristup učenju, omogućujući učenicima postupno usvajanje znanja i vještina. Isto tako olakšavaju razumijevanje složenih pojmova, potiču logičko razmišljanje i pomažu u razvijanju sposobnosti primjene matematike u svakodnevnim situacijama, čime se povećava angažiranost i motivacija učenika. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati pristupe učitelja razredne nastave usmjerene na olakšavanje učenicima da svladaju nastavne sadržaje te poticanje njihove motivacije za aktivno sudjelovanje u nastavi. Provedeno je 12 polustrukturiranih intervjua s učiteljima razredne nastave na području Grada Zagreba, a na temelju transkripata intervjua izvršena je tematska analiza. Teorijsku podlogu ovog rada čine ključne teorije motivacije, uključujući teoriju samodeterminacije i teoriju očekivanja i vrijednosti, model uključenosti učenika u učenje koji obuhvaća bihevioralni, kognitivni, emocionalni i proaktivni aspekt uključenosti, kao i načela konstruktivističkih pristupa poučavanju. Istraživački dio rada temelji se na kvalitativnoj analizi učiteljskih iskustava, pri čemu su identificirani ključni pokazatelji motivacije i metode kojima učitelji potiču motivaciju i uključenost učenika, poput korištenja igara, primjera iz svakodnevnog života, prilagođavanja individualnim potrebama učenika, razgovora o važnosti i primjeni matematike, itd. Rad naglašava važnost stvaranja poticajnog okruženja za učenje u kojem učitelji koriste raznolike strategije kako bi potaknuli motivaciju i uspjeh učenika u matematici. Takav pristup omogućava prilagodbu različitim stilovima učenja i individualnim potrebama učenika, čime se poboljšava njihovo razumijevanje matematičkih pojmova te povećava samopouzdanje i uključenosti učenika tijekom nastave.
Abstract (english) Many students perceive mathematics as one of the most difficult subjects, which often cause feelings of frustration and demotivation. Such perception of the complexity of mathematical content can negatively affect their engagement and success in learning, making it crucial to develop strategies that facilitate understanding and increase interest in the subject. Also, applying the principles in teaching mathematics is important because they ensure a structured approach to learning, enabling students to acquire knowledge and skills gradually. They also facilitate the understanding of complex concepts, encourage logical thinking, and help develop the ability to apply mathematics in everyday situations, thereby increasing student engagement and motivation. The aim of this research was to examine the approaches of classroom teachers aimed at facilitating students' mastery of teaching content and encouraging their motivation for active class participation. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted with classroom teachers in the City of Zagreb, and a thematic analysis was performed based on the transcripts of the interviews. The theoretical basis of this work consists of key theories of motivation, including the theory of self-determination and the expectancy-value theory, a model of student engagement in learning that includes behavioural, cognitive, emotional, and proactive aspects of engagement, as well as the principles of constructivist approaches to teaching. The research part of the work is based on a qualitative analysis of teachers' experiences, where key indicators of motivation and methods by which teachers encourage students' motivation and engagement are identified, such as the use of games, examples from everyday life, adaptation to the individual needs of students, discussions about the importance and application of mathematics, etc. The paper emphasizes the importance of creating a stimulating learning environment, in which teachers use a variety of strategies to encourage students' motivation and achievement in mathematics. Such an approach enables adaptation to different learning styles and individual needs of students, which improves their understanding of mathematical concepts and increases students' self-confidence and engagement during classes.
