AbstractResearch in the US indicates that classroom diversity is related to better social adjustment of students, but research on this association in European classrooms is limited in scope and yields inconsistent findings. This study examined how classroom ethnic diversity is related to social adjustment of societally dominant versus minoritized ethnic groups, and how an open classroom climate for discussion contributes to this. This was examined in low to moderately diverse Dutch classrooms (2703 secondary school students, from 119 classrooms and schools, Mage = 14, 50% female, 18% foreign-born parents). Results revealed that students from minoritized groups reported lower social adjustment. For all students, classroom ethnic diversity was related to worse social adjustment which was partly explained by classroom socioeconomic status (SES). An open classroom climate for discussion did not moderate the relation between diversity and social adjustment. The findings indicate that students’ social adjustment is worse in ethnically diverse and low-SES classrooms, and an open classroom climate for discussion does not solve this.

Adjustment is a process that is supposed to lead to a person's happy and contented life. It establishes a balance between requirements and capacity to meet them, persuades those concerned to adapt their lifestyles to the demands of the circumstances, and provides the strength and capability to bring about desired changes in environmental conditions. The study suggested that schools must emphasize teaching students how to adjust to themselves and their surroundings, rather than just excellent academic achievement. Schools must hold regular sessions with student's parents to keep them informed about their children's progress. Schools must keep a separate record of students' behaviour inside the school and identify emotionally immature students. This will help them to give counseling. All the schools must be upgraded with modern amenities such as a well-equipped laboratory, a well-stocked library, and well-organized classrooms. In the classroom, a technique of group discussion and other curricular activities might be organized. As a result, the student's adjustment will improve. This study presents a review of literature on the topic. This paper is an attempt to reviews the papers from 2010 to 2020.

The Relationship

 En los últimos años, ha aumentado la importancia de las emociones en la educación escolar. La bibliografía actual ha puesto de manifiesto los beneficios de generar climas de aula positivos, en los que existan relaciones afectivas entre los agentes involucrados en el proceso educativo. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo conocer la relación entre el clima de aula generado y las emociones experimentadas por los estudiantes. La hipótesis planteada fue que el clima de aula generado podría predecir las emociones experimentadas por los estudiantes. Para ello, se utilizó una muestra de 417 alumnos y alumnas de educación secundaria (44.1% hombres y 55.9% mujeres) pertenecientes a tres centros educativos de Huelva (Andalucía, España). A estos estudiantes se les preguntó sobre el clima existente en el aula y las emociones experimentadas durante sus clases de educación física. Los resultados del estudio confirman la relación entre el clima de aula y las emociones, destacando el poder predictor de las dimensiones “satisfacción e involucración en el aula” y “relación con el profesor” para predecir las emociones experimentadas por los estudiantes. Dichos resultados permiten poner en valor la importancia de generar climas positivos a través de la creación de vínculos emocionales entre profesores y alumnos. De esta forma, los alumnos y las alumnas se sentirán a gusto y generarán emociones positivas tan importantes en el proceso educativo. Abstract.
