it. We were questioning how the students and the teachers see the teaching
process, how much their opinions coincide, how much they differ, how the
criteria for assessment are seen by students and by teachers. The results of
the research will be used for identifying and continuous solving all the we-
aknesses in the subject teaching.
Methodology
The total number of the students from the 5th to the 8th grade who attended
the lectures during the research at the time was 263. The research was car-
ried out on a sample of 176 students, out of which 82 were male (46.6%) and
94 female students (53.4%). 36 of them are the 5th graders, 62 students are
the 6th graders, 32 students are the 7th graders and the rest 46 students are
the 8th graders.

The other part of the respondents includes 20 out of 23 subject tea-
chers in our school. The measuring instruments used in this research in-
clude two questionnaires specially designed for this purpose: 1. The stu-
dent questionnaire- contains 49 questions of the five-step Likert scale
where 1 represents a complete disagreement, and 5 is a complete agree-
ment with the claim. The first 20 items relate to the students’ habits while
learning and the remaining 29 items relate to the way students see the qu-
ality of teaching at school. 2. The teacher questionnaire – contains 30 qu-
estions in the form of the five-step Likert scale. The items refer to the way
of teaching process. Unlike students’ questions, the questions for the tea-
chers were put in the first person in order to give teachers an opportunity
to express their opinions on their way of working. Descriptive values were
analysed in the SPSS statistical programme. Quantitative methods were
