The study comprised pupils aged 10-11, 13-14 and 16-17; 322 students were attending school in Austria, and 458 students were in Slovenia. The data were collected through a questionnaire and processed on the level of descriptive and inferential statistics. The right to participation is among the four main principles set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child from 1989. However, a study that aimed to identify the areas in which students already have the opportunity to participate in decision-making and areas in which they want more participation showed that they remain insufficiently aware of the right to participation in school. In addition, the study showed that students from Austrian schools have more decision-making opportunities than their peers in Slovenia do. The results also indicate that, despite its proven advantages, legal basis, and the repeated demands for its implementation, participation in the class environment has yet to become common practice.  \nKeywords: effect of student participation, student ability for participation, student desire for participation, student participation indecision-making  \n1 *Corresponding Author.

Vraziskavi so sodelovali učenci, stari med 10 in 11 let, med 13 in 14 let termed 16 in 17 let. 322 učencev obiskuje šole v Avstriji, 458 pa v Sloveniji. Podatki so bili zbrani z vprašalnikom ter obdelani na ravni deskriptivnein inferenčne statistike. Pravica do participacije je v okviru ene izmed štirih glavnih načel zapisana že v Konvenciji o otrokovih pravicah iz leta 1989, a rezultati te raziskave, v kateri smo želeli ugotoviti področja pouka, na katerih učenci že zaznavajo možnosti soodločanja, in področja pouka, na katerih bi si soodločanja še želeli, kažejo, da je pravica do participacije učencev pri pouku še vedno premalo prisotna. Nadaljerezultati raziskave kažejo, da imajo učenci, ki se šolajo v Avstriji, več možnosti soodločanja pri pouku kot njihovi vrstniki v Sloveniji.  \nKljučne besede: učinki soodločanja učencev, sposobnosti učencev za soodločanje, želje učencev po soodločanju, participacija učencev  \nIntroduction  \nParticipation is a basic characteristic of democracy and one of the elementary human rights of children (e.g. Sturzenhecker, 2005) . For this reason, the youth policy in Europe (see EU Strategy for Youth – Investing and Empowering, 2009) recognises youth participation as a priority. In a modern school, the teacher is expected to motivate students and create conditions for active learning, with the students taking part in all stages ofthe education process (Javornik Krečič, 2003) . Modern schools differ from traditional ones with respect to the level of democracy; at the same time, modern pedagogical processes are based on a democratic climate and relationships at the level of the school and in class (Kovač Šebart & Krek, 2007) . Participation is the objective of general education (e.g. Reith, 2007), because school, as a state and social institution, plays a key role in the development of democratic values among its future citizens.  \nThe notion of student participation, in the case of the present paper, represents active student participation in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of school work (Kovač, Resman, & Rajkovič, 2008, 2010) and provides new opportunities for quality school work (Kovač, 2008; Kovač e","cbCaie6YQi5VRfEh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie6YQi5VRfEh","pdf",208400,"English","# Introduction\n## Positive Effects of Pupil Participation","[{\"question\":\"What does the article focus on regarding student participation?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on how students are involved in the education process and specifically in participation in classroom decision-making.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted and how many students participated?\",\"answer\":\"A questionnaire was used and data were processed with descriptive and inferential statistics.
