Abstract (english)
Affective factors, i.e. the factors oriented towards the emotional sphere of the learning process are present at all stages of learning and its assessment. Attributions, i.e. attributing success or failure to different reasons, hold an important place among them. Attributions are classified according to locus (whether they occur from within or from outside), stability (whether the reason for failure or success will reoccur or not) and control (whether the reason is under the student's control or not). The results of recent research on high-school students have shown that students most commonly attribute their failure to internal causes (not enough effort) and their success to external causes (easy tasks). It is believed that it would be more efficient if students attributed their success to internal causes as well because the sense of one’s own responsibility for it would better motivate them for further learning unlike other causal attributions which diminish proactivity and motivation in the learning process. The aim of the research carried out at the VERN' University of Applied Sciences in the academic year 2015/16 was to determine what students of Business English and English for Hospitality Industry and Tourism attribute good or poor results they achieve in tests to, i.e. to provide an insight into students' perception of their performance in tests. The differences in attributions in regards to gender, course and year of study, English grades and an assessment of importance of English for their future careers were also examined. Since causal attributions are an important factor of the motivation for learning, whereby both students and teachers play an important role, the results gained in this research are important for planning teaching strategies, especially with less successful or less motivated students.
