absztrakt:

Our research attempts to explore the learning motivation patterns of Hungarian pupils from a low SES environment in order to develop an innovative foreign language teaching application. Pupils aged 10?14 were selected from 11 schools in a disadvantaged, low SES region of Hungary (N?=?523). We used online questionnaires: a demographic questionnaire, the School Climate Questionnaire and the Learning Motivation Questionnaire. Higher achieving students seem to be less competitive. The difference in motivation regarding maternal educational qualifications is insignificant. Motivational patterns are not affected by low SES, but by the pupils' affective bonding and attachment to their school. Schools' motivational profiles differ from each other significantly; however, this does not correlate with the number of low SES pupils.
