The master's thesis is focused on business academy pupil's attitude to economic subjects, specifically economics and accounting. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical framework and empirical research. The theoretical part deals with key concepts, i.e. attitudes, motivation, evaluation and pedagogical-psychological diagnostics as well as with individual criteria for the attitude research. These criteria are subsequently applied in the empirical part which is based on more than 1.700 pupil's responses from 30 business academies. The applied criteria are also analyzed within individual school grades and the resulting trend is examined. Economic subjects are viewed in relation to other compulsory subjects at business academies.
