The purpose of this research is to examine whether low and high student success and green-mixed-old types of buildings have a meaningful relationship with perceptions of teachers on quality of school buildings, and the relationship between school building conditions and life satisfaction of teachers, and the degree of effects of buildings to this satisfaction. Quantitative methods were used in the research. 170 participants of research were elementary and middle school teachers from Madison/Wisconsin, US. Stratified random sampling was used in the research. In data collection, ‘Quality School Building Scale’ and ‘Teachers Life Satisfaction Scale’ were used. Data was analyzed with Mann Whitney U test, F & r statistics, and multifactor regression analysis. According to results, school building conditions and life satisfaction of teachers has a positive relation. A significant correlation was found between perception of teachers of school buildings, and low or high academic success of students in the dimension of ‘equipment and building of school’ and ‘physical condition and equipment’ - in favor of green schools.  Life satisfaction has an intermediate level meaningful relationship with school campus and lightnings, and with a close resulted, there is a low level meaningful relationship with visibility range and acoustics. School building sizes explains 20% of unidimensional life satisfaction. Thus, bettering the conditions of building should be an important task for authorities and employees of schools.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu araştırmada öğretmenlerin okul bina kalitesine algıları arasında öğrenci başarısı ve okul bina tipine göre anlamlı bir farkın olup olmadığı; okul bina koşullarıyla öğretmenlerin okul yaşam doyumları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

School Building Conditions

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the link between technical school building conditions and student satisfaction with the school buildings. Learning more about the relationship between the measures will be useful for researchers who are studying the effect from physical work conditions on student achievement. Design/methodology/approach – The paper aims to study the correlation between technical condition and user satisfaction with school buildings using two different data sources. The first source is administrative data, where the local governments have reported the condition of their school buildings to a national investigation of school building conditions. The second source is survey data where students in Norwegian primary schools report their satisfaction with their learning environment, including the school buildings. Combining the two data sources provides a unique data set for a large number of Norwegian primary schools. Findings – The measures of technical and subjective condition are significantly correlated, but the correlation is far from 100 percent. Hence, it will be of great interest for researchers to look more into potential effects from subjective measures of building condition. Originality/value – The paper provides an investigation of the link between two different measures of building conditions that can both be relevant to use in studies of how school buildings affect student performance.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study is to analyse the happiness and life satisfaction levels of university students by various factors and to reveal the relationship between those two terms. The sample group of the study is composed of Necmettin Erbakan University Physical Education and Sports Teacher Department and Pamukkale University Sports Sciences Faculty students, who are 801 in number, 394 of them male and 407 of them female, and with an average age of 23.58±2.98. In the study the “Life Satisfaction Scale,” which has been developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted to Turkish by Durak et al. (2010), and the “Oxford Happiness Scale Short Version,” which has been developed by Hills and Argyle (2002) and adapted to Turkish by Doğan and Akıncı Çötok (2010), has been used. To determine the personal information distribution of participants percentage and frequency methods, and to determine whether the data has normal distribution or not Shapir Wilks normalcy test has been used and after establishing that the data is suitable for parametric test conditions, to analyse the data the independent t Test, Anova and Pearson Correlation tests have been used. According to the analysis results, a significant difference in life satisfaction has been observed with respect to age and regular exercise parameters (p < 0.05). According to the happiness scale a significant difference has been observed with respect to gender, department, grade and department satisfaction parameters (p < 0.05). Finally, a positive and meaningful relationship has been observed between the two scales. Consequently, it could be argued that life satisfaction and happiness levels of participants show significant differences with respect to some parameters and that the higher their life satisfaction, the higher their level of happiness.
