Positive School Climate

This chapter describes how a positive school climate can contribute to students bonding with and staying in the school. It also describes how a negative or “toxic” school climate can contribute to the dropout problem. The chapter looks at the important role of teacher(s) and how they contribute to students staying in or leaving school prior to graduation. The chapter also looks at school climate as a “therapeutic intervention.”

Education Process

<p>The most important of school organizations is to create effective and efficient teaching and learning processes in schools, which are the main task of the school. Without touching on this aspect, the school organization will have no significance in building schools in conducting the education process effectively. Some of the most effective studies that are associated with organizational processes always provide an important part of the role of school management in creating an effective school climate and culture. In this case, parent and student communities should be directly involved in the school management process, especially in the decision-making process. This is done as an effort to increase commitment, ownership and responsibility in peroses education in schools.</p><p> </p><p>Yang terpenting dari organisasi sekolah adalah menciptakan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran secara efektif dan efisien di sekolah, yang merupakan tugas pokok sekolah. Tanpa menyentuh aspek ini, maka organisasi sekolah tidak akan mempunyai arti penting dalam membangun sekolah dalam melakukan proses pendidikan secara efektif. Beberapa penelitian yang efektif yang dikaitkan dengan proses organisasi selalu memberikan bagian penting dari peran manajemen sekolah dalam menciptakan iklim dan kultur sekolah yang efektif. Dalam hal ini,  komunitas orang tua dan siswa hendaknya terlibat langsung dalam proses pengelolaan sekolah, terutama dalam proses pembuatan keputusan. Hal ini dilakukan sebagai upaya meningkatkan komitmen, rasa memiliki dan tanggung jawabnya dalam peroses pendidikan di sekolah.</p>

Positive Climate

This theoretical study focuses on the school climate. In particular, it focuses on the phenomenon of the positive school climate and its specific areas. The aim of the paper is to describe important areas of the positive school climate based on the analysis of selected positive climate models (National School Climate Center, 2017; Rudasill et al., 2017; Thapa, Cohen, & Guffey et al., 2013; Grecmanová, 2008, etc.). The text describes basic concepts, such as classroom climate, learning climate, or teacher staff climate. Primarily, the school climate is defined and a brief description of the factors involved in its creation is provided. Subsequently, the text deals with the terminology concerning the positive climate, as there is a disunity in this area. A significant part of the contribution is devoted to specific models of positive school climate, where, based on various research surveys, areas are defined which are key for the positive climate. In the final part of the paper three important areas of the positive climate are described, which repeatedly appear in the selected models, so they can be considered important.

Although there is a growing interest in identifying the variables that enhance student school adjustment, there is a lack of understanding of the mechanisms involved in it during adolescence. Despite there being works that confirm the positive relationship between school climate and academic performance, it is still unresolved which of the more specific aspects of climate are linked to this performance, as well as the degree to which an individual variable such as resilience can play a mediating role between both; these unknown factors constitute the objective of this study. A total of 731 students (mean age, Mage = 15.20 years; Standard Deviation, SD = 1.62) from the Basque Country participated; they completed the PACE-33 -school climate scale-, the CD-RISC10 -resilience scale- and the EBAE-10 -perceived academic performance subscale-. The full mediation model and the partial mediation model were tested. The results show that the model of choice is that of partial mediation: the resilience mediates the relationship between two specific aspects of the school climate (peer relationship and teachers’ ability to motivate) and perceived academic performance, and a third specific aspect (teachers’ expectations) has a direct relationship with perceived academic performance. These findings highlight the importance of attending to variables specific to the context in which the subject interacts, with the role of the teacher being especially important, in addition to promoting the development of resilience, due to the weight it has on the perception that students have about their school performance.
