    This document discusses a survey conducted on 139 elementary school students who participated in a computer science competition in Croatia. The survey aimed to explore the students' motivations for participating in the competition. It found that the teacher plays an important role in motivating students' additional learning required to succeed. Subjects that are more difficult generally have fewer competitors than easier subjects. The competition requires significant effort, creativity, and perseverance from both students and teachers. The survey results help provide guidance on factors that influence students' motivation to learn computer science.

    In the last few years, student competitions in knowledge of certain area have become very
    common in elementary schools. Students can compete in one or more school subjects depending on
    their interest and abilities. One of the goals of every competition is to raise the motivation in learning
    particular area. Very often, that motivation, in great deal, depends on the teacher himself and his
    characteristics as well. Some subjects are very interesting and teachers have easy job in motivating
    them in additional work that is required so students can accomplish level of knowledge needed for
    competing. Subjects that are demanding and challenging for students, very often have fewer
    competitors than subjects that are easier.

    In the Republic of Croatia, Computer Science is one of the elective subjects in elementary
    school therefore it has a smaller number of students involved in the teaching process. Students can
    compete in the knowledge of the basic concepts of Information Technology and various application
    programs or solving algorithms in a variety of programming languages. In the curriculum of the elective
    subject Computer Science, solving algorithms is represented approximately with 10% of the content,
    which is not enough to achieve success in this competition. The competition requires a lot of effort,
    creativity and perseverance of the students and his teachers.

    This paper explores the motivation of students to participate in the Computer Science
    competition. For this purpose, a survey was conducted among 139 participants of the competition in
    elementary schools as a special form of non-experimental research. As the primary source of data in
    the study is used a personal statement about the opinions, beliefs, attitudes and behavior, obtained
    with the corresponding series of standardized questions. The questions are designed to test the
    importance which students assign to the teacher as one of the factors, and other factors that
    significantly affect the increase in their motivation to learn Computer Science.

    At the end, the results of the survey are interpreted and provide guidance for further research.
