Canada’s high school graduation rates are still low when compared to other members of the OECD. Previous studies have found academic involvement is associated with positive trajectories toward graduation, that social support promotes student engagement, and that school belonging could mediate this relationship. Still, little is known about the specificity of such mediation, especially in Québec. Therefore, this study examined the role of belonging as mediator of the relationship between social support and academic involvement. Participants ( N = 238) were high-school students from the Greater Montréal Area. All variables were measured by the School-Climate Questionnaire. Results from hierarchical multiple regressions indicated parental support had a direct relationship, whereas peer and teacher support had a mediated relationship by school belonging with academic involvement. Results highlight the critical role of school belonging in promoting academic involvement in relation to social support.

Close relationship during adolescence plays an important role in the young person's overall psychological development. As the most important factor about the development of a close relationship, many studies have emphasized the role of self-disclosure. In this study, the relationship between self-disclosure and friendship in adolescence was examined.Two scales about self-disclosure and friendship were administered to 454 junior high school students. The types of friendship in early adolescence were explored, and the relationship between types of friendship and self-disclosure was examined.

The present study investigated the role of adaptability in helping high school students navigate their online learning during a period of COVID-19 that entailed fully or partially remote online learning. Drawing on Job Demands-Resources theory and data from a sample of 1,548 Australian high school students in nine schools, we examined the role of adaptability in predicting students’ online learning self-efficacy in mathematics and their end of year mathematics achievement. It was found that beyond the effects of online learning demands, online and parental learning support, and background attributes, adaptability was significantly associated with higher levels of online learning self-efficacy and with gains in later achievement; online learning self-efficacy was also significantly associated with gains in achievement—and significantly mediated the relationship between adaptability and achievement. These findings confirm the role of adaptability as an important personal resource that can help students in their online learning, including through periods of remote instruction, such as during COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:Most of the authors agree that attitudes are formed by three components, cognitive, affective and behavioural. In addition, a large number of studies have examined the attitudes of linguistic function in personal-social and psychological variables such as motivation. Nevertheless, very few studies have examined the relationship between the two variables (motivation and linguistic attitudes) from a second language learning. An adaptation of the Roces, Tourón and González’s Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (1995) along with the Ruiz de Azúa-Ormaza’s Linguistic Attitudes Questionnaire (2012) were administered to a sample of 1356 High School students (676 Men and 680 women). Latest school grades were also included. The results show that grades offer feedback on the relationship between the attitudes and motivation toward the study of the language, in such a way that the better the students’ academic marks are, the higher the motivation and the more positive the attitudes toward the subject´s learning. It has also been found that motivation for language learning has a higher predictive capacity on the attitudes toward this language than vice versa.RESUMEN:Aunque la mayor parte de los autores está de acuerdo en que las actitudes están formadas por tres componentes referidos a lo cognitivo, lo afectivo y lo conductual, y que gran cantidad de estudios han examinado las actitudes lingüísticas en función de variables sociopersonales y psicológicas como la motivación, son muy escasos los trabajos que han estudiado la relación entre ambas desde el aprendizaje de una segunda lengua. Participaron en esta investigación un total de 1356 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (676 hombres y 680 mujeres), que respondieron tanto a una adaptación del Cuestionario de Estrategias de Aprendizaje y Motivación (CEAM II) de Roces, Tourón y González (1995) para valorar la motivación escolar, como al Cuestionario de Actitudes Lingüísticas (CAL) de Ruiz de Azúa-Ormaza (2012), destinado a medir las actitudes lingüísticas. Además, se ob-tuvieron las calificaciones escolares relativas a la última evaluación de los participantes. Los resultados indican que las calificaciones retroalimentan la relación entre las actitudes y la motivación hacia el estudio del idioma de forma que cuanto mejores sean las notas del alumno estará más motivado hacia el aprendizaje de dicha materia y las actitudes hacia la misma serán más positivas que al contrario. Asimismo, se comprueba que la motivación para el aprendizaje de una lengua posee una capacidad de predicción sobre las actitudes hacia esta lengua mayor que a la inversa. Contacto principal: [email protected]
