Odnos do tujih jezikov pri študentih poslovnih in ekonomskih ved

Ivašković, Igor (author)

Raziskovalno vprašanje (RV): Kakšen odnos imajo študenti in diplomanti poslovnih in ekonomskih ved do učenja tujih jezikov? Ali obstajaj razlike med zaposlenimi in nezaposlenimi ter med študenti dodiplomskih in podiplomskih študijskih programov? Namen: Namen prispevka je pomagati načrtovalcem izobraževalnih programov na področju ekonomskih in poslovnih ved z analizo odnosa študentov in diplomantov na tem strokovnem področju do učenja tujih jezikov. Metoda: V teoretičnem pregledu je uporabljena deskriptivna oz. opisna metoda, podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo spletnega orodja 1ka, nato pa obdelani s programom SPSS, pri čemer je bila uporabljena deskriptivna statistična analiza, ki je omogočila prikaz distribucije anketirancev po posameznih razredih. Na koncu sta bili z namenom preverjanja odnosov med spremenljivkami uporabljeni še faktorska in korelacijska analiza. Rezultati: Rezultati, pridobljeni na vzorcu 283 oseb, kažejo, da se proučevana populacija pogosto sooča s potrebo po znanju tujega jezika. Delovno aktivni, med njimi še posebej zaposleni na delovnih mestih, kjer je potrebna visokošolska izobrazba, bolj zaznavajo to potrebo. Ravno tako zaznavanje potrebe po znanju tujega jezika narašča s stopnjo študija, pri čemer le znanje angleščine ne zadošča vsem potrebam. Organizacija: Študija prikazuje odnos do tujih jezikov po posameznih segmentih; populacijo razdeli na dodiplomske in podiplomske študente ter na diplomante brez statusa, nato preučuje odnos tudi glede na aktivnost na trgu dela, in sicer populacijo razdeli na neaktivne, zaposlene prek študentskih servisov in redno oz. samozaposlene. Družba: Rezultati študije ponujajo uvid trenutno stanje v segmentu slovenske družbe, ki deluje na področju ekonomije in poslovanja, poudarja pomen učenja tujih jezikov na tem strokovnem področju in postavlja izhodišče za modifikacijo vloge jezikov v poslovnih in ekonomskih študijskih programih. Originalnost: Ena obsežnejših raziskav o odnosu slovenskih študentov ekonomskih in poslovnih ved v do učenja tujih jezikov v zadnjem desetletju. Omejitve/nadaljnje raziskovanje: Priporočljive so nadaljnje raziskave med študentsko populacijo skozi daljše časovno obdobje, v različnih okoljih in na različnih strokovnih področjih.

• Title: Attitude towards foreign languages among students of business and economics

Abstract

Research Question (RQ): What is the attitude of students and graduates of business and economics towards learning foreign languages? Are there differences between employed and unemployed and between undergraduate and postgraduate students? Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to help planners of educational programs in the field of economics and business by analysing the attitude of students and graduates in this professional field towards learning foreign languages. Method: Descriptive method was used in the theoretical part, data were collected using the online tool 1ka, and then processed with the SPSS program, using descriptive statistical analysis, which allowed showing the distribution of respondents. Finally, factor and correlation analyses were used in order to test the relations between variables. Results: The results obtained on a sample of 283 respondents show that the studied population often faces the need for knowledge of foreign languages. Employees, especially those in jobs where higher education is needed, are more aware of this need. Likewise, the perception of the need for foreign language skills increases with the level of study, and knowledge of English alone does not meet all the needs. Organization: The study presents the attitude towards foreign languages by segments; it divides the population into undergraduate and postgraduate students and graduates without status, then examines the relationship according to activity in the labour market (divides the population into inactive, employed through student services and regularly or. self-employed). Society: The results of the study offer an insight into the current situation in the segment of Slovenian society which operates in the field of economics and business; emphasizes the importance of learning foreign languages in this professional field and sets the starting point for modifying the role of languages in business and economic study programs. Originality: One of the first comprehensive studies on the attitude of Slovenian students of economics and business towards learning foreign languages in the last decade. Limitations / further research: Further research is recommended among the student population over a longer period of time, in different environments and in different professional fields.
