Mësimdhënia e letërsisë në edukimin e nxënësve në arsimin e mesëm të lartë në Kosovë

Abstract

The aim of this study is to highlight the crucial importance of literature as a school subject, especially in upper-secondary education due to the more sensitive age of students in their education and overall formation; in their personality and in understanding the importance of reading for their professional development. The other goal and objective that is intended to be achieved through this school subject at this level of education is the achievement of a sustainable reading culture to the student, suggesting that reading is the "royal path" for their intellectual formation, despite the profession they will choose in the future. This study is built upon different combined methods, which enabled the achievement of the foreseen goals in this paper. Thus, we used theoretical, descriptive, comparative, inductive, deductive, and statistical methods. Teachers and upper-secondary school students from different regions of Kosovo were part of it. The selected sample consisted of 200 students and 20 teachers. In conducting the research, we used questionnaires (for students) and structured interviews (for teachers). By knowing the role that literature as a school subject plays in educating students, even the teachers’ approach to certain literature units must be unique in order to highlight powerful educational and cultural messages that influence the overall formation of students. Therefore, in addition to the requirements for students’ development as personalities, and their participation actively in society, it is crucial to understand the importance of their spiritual and moral formation as a necessary component for a complete personality.
