The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a principal’s transformational leadership and creative teaching behavior of physical education teachers at junior and senior high schools in Taiwan (at the individual level) and the cross-level effect on creative teaching behaviors of physical education teachers in an innovative school climate (at the school level) and the moderator effect of an innovative school climate on the relationship between a principal’s transformational leadership and creative teaching behaviors of physical education teachers. A total of 800 questionnaires were distributed to physical education teachers at 59 junior and senior high schools and 477 valid surveys were collected for data analysis. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we found that at the individual level, a principal’s transformational leadership has a positive impact on creative teaching behaviors of physical education teachers, and at the school level, an innovative school climate has a positive impact on creative teaching behaviors (at the person level) of physical education teachers. An innovative school climate at the school level has no moderating effects on the relationship between a principal’s transformational leadership and creative teaching behaviors of physical education teachers. This study provides implications and applications for cross-level studies, and builds the foundation for future multilevel research.

A sample of 392 girls between the ages of 11 and 16 years attending a state-maintained single-sex Catholic secondary school completed six semantic differential scales of attitudes toward school and toward lessons concerned with English, music, religion, mathematics, and sports, together with information about paternal employment and their personal practice of prayer. The relationship between personal prayer and attitude toward school after controlling for age and social class was positive.

AbstractResilience is an individual’s capacity to recover, adapt, and keep mental balance and normal functioning when exposed to significant adversity. This competence plays an important role in one’s life because it increases the probability of achieving success in various spheres of life. Schools can foster students’ resilience by providing a positive school environment and a sufficient number of protective factors, but it is the subjective interpretation of conditions and experiences rather than the exposure to them that is significant. The main objective of this research was to study to what extent school satisfaction, i.e. subjective interpretation of the school climate, influenced the level of students’ resilience. Not all our findings are compatible with the results of other studies. Despite the limits of our research, its results can serve as a basis for further work as not much has been done in the field of resilience research in Slovakia.

The association between students’ academic identity and their academic outcomes has been well-established. The importance of a positive school climate has also been widely documented. However, Black males experience factors that uniquely and collectively comprise their school climate. As such, the purpose of this study was to test the extent to which school climate mediated the relationships between math academic identity and math outcomes of Black males. Bootstrapping mediation analyses were conducted in a sample of students in the 11th grade ( n = 1,106) using data from the High School Longitudinal Study. Results indicated that students’ math identity was positively associated with math scores. Moreover, partial mediation was established, demonstrating that school climate partially explained the relationship between math identity and student outcomes. Implications of these findings for school administrators, teachers, and counselors are discussed.

Student respect for teachers is one of the important aspects of the student-teacherrelationship, which is considered an important component of the school climate.Given the significant role of the school climate in predicting students’ violenceagainst teachers, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship betweenperceptions of students’ respect for teachers and students’ violence against teachers.The research was conducted with two survey questionnaires intended for samplesof students and teachers, and 451 students and 102 high school teachers in the Cityof Zagreb participated in the research. The perception of respect for teachers anddifferent forms of violence was examined by assessing participants’ agreement ona six-point Likert-type scale (1 – strongly agree, 6 – strongly disagree). The resultsindicate that students and teachers, on average, feel that students respect teachers toa greater extent, and that they perceive different forms of violence against teachersto a lesser extent. The correlation analysis found a statistically significant negativeassociation between respect for teachers and various forms of student violenceagainst teachers. It can be concluded that respect for teachers plays an importantrole in explaining the occurrence of students’ violence against teachers.Keywords: respect; school climate; students; teachers; violence against teachers.-Poštovanje učenika prema nastavnicima jedan je od bitnih aspekata odnosa izmeđuučenika i nastavnika koji se smatra važnom komponentom školske klime. S obziromna značajnu ulogu školske klime u predviđanju nasilja učenika nad nastavnicima,cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost percepcije poštovanja učenika premanastavnicima i nasilja učenika nad nastavnicima. Istraživanje je provedenodvama anketnim upitnicima namijenjenima uzorcima učenika i nastavnika, au istraživanju je sudjelovao 451 učenik te 102 nastavnika srednjih škola u GraduZagrebu. Percepcija poštivanja nastavnika i različitih oblika nasilja ispitana jeprocjenom slaganja sudionika na skali Likertova tipa od šest stupnjeva (1-izrazitose slažem, 6-izrazito se ne slažem). Rezultati ukazuju na to da učenici i nastavniciu prosjeku više smatraju da učenici poštuju nastavnike te da u manjoj mjeripercipiraju različite oblike nasilja nad nastavnicima. Korelacijskom analizomutvrđena je statistički značajna negativna povezanost između poštovanjanastavnika i različitih oblika nasilja učenika nad nastavnicima. Može se zaključitida poštovanje nastavnika ima važnu ulogu u objašnjenju pojave nasilja učenika nadnastavnicima.Ključne riječi: nasilje nad nastavnicima; nastavnici; poštovanje; školska klima;učenici.

This article presents the results of a non-experimental, quantitative cross-sectional study conducted on an adolescent group. The sample of adolescents was acquired from high schools and vocational training, where the relationship between the school climate, more specifically, the involvement, affiliation, and perception of help and violence that is both experienced and exercised between partners. The study sample consisted of 433 adolescents aged 12–19 years from four educational centers from a municipality of Greater Bilbao. Since there are analyses that refer specifically to romantic relationships, in those cases, the 67.7% (N = 275) of the sample that claims to have or have had a romantic relationship is considered. Finally, there was evidence to suggest the existence of influence between the school climate and the implication of violence in adolescent couples.

School climate is a significant determinant of students’ behavioral problems and academic achievement. In this study, we developed the Japan School Climate Inventory (JaSC) to see whether it measures school climate properly. To do so, we investigated whether or not the measurement with JaSC varies across sub-groups of varying grade and of gender and examined the relationship between the perception of school climate and the psychological and behavioral traits at individual levels in a sample of Japanese elementary and junior high school students (n = 1399; grade 4–9). The results showed that the measurement was consistent, since single-factor structures, factor loadings and thresholds of the items were found not to vary across sub-groups of the participants. The participants’ perception of school climate was associated positively with quality of life, especially in school (β = 0.152, p < 0.001) and associated negatively with involvement in ijime (bullying) as “victim” and “bully/victim” (β = −0.098, p = 0.001; β = −0.188, p = 0.001, respectively) and peer relationship problems (β = −0.107, p = 0.025). JaSC was found to measure school climate consistently among varying populations of Japanese students, with satisfactory validity.
