The Relationship

The school climate is a construct that can adequately represent the quality of school life. School climate is the sum of perceptions of teachers, parents, students and administration about different aspects of school functioning and has an impact on their lives. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between the school climate and student engagement. The sample consists of 332 high school students from Sombor and Novi Sad. The Delaware School Climate Scale was used, namely the School Climate and Student Engagement subscales. Prior to data processing, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed to confirm the latent dimensionality of the used instruments. Then, descriptive indicators were presented. According to descriptive indicators students assess the school climate moderately, and on average they are more cognitively/behaviourally engaged than emotionally. The intercorrelation table indicates low to moderate correlations between variables. In order to respond to the aim of the study, two multiple regression analyses were performed. Regression analysis shows that teacher student relations are statistically sig?nificant predictor of all three types of student engagement, while fairness of school rules appears as a statistically significant predictor of cognitive/behavioural student engagement, and the factor respect for diversity of students? emotional engagement. Similar results are found in other studies conducted around the world.

The Relationship

The purpose of this work was to study the sexual characteristics of the relationship between the emotional reflection of high school students in the objects-values of school life and their awareness of the reasons for the need for schooling (motivation). Separately for groups of boys and girls, the following were revealed: 1) the structure of the emotional attitude to the values of school life by means of factor analysis of estimates using the method of the Semantic Differential; 2) the correlation of the identified factors with different explanations-motivations of the reasons for schooling (70 options). Schoolchildren of grades 9—11 (15—17 years) of two schools in Moscow were studied, only 253 pupils (132 boys and 121 girls), including 90 students at the same time (48 boys and 42 girls). As a result, it was found that boys have 3 factors of emotional attitude to learning (cognitive motivation, avoidance and affiliation), while girls have 4. In addition to three similar to boys, they have a communication factor. The interrelationships of these factors-motives with the variants of a conscious explanation of the reasons for the need for schooling were revealed, which made it possible to discover the qualitative specifics of the conceptual sphere of students of different sexes.

Abstract Student participation and cognitive and emotional engagement in learning activities play a key role in student academic achievement and are driven by student motivational characteristics such as academic self-concept. These relations have been well established with variable-centered analyses, but in this study, a person-centered analysis was applied to describe how the different aspects of student engagement are combined within individual students. Specifically, we investigated how the number of hand-raisings interacts with student cognitive and emotional engagement in various engagement patterns. Additionally, it was analyzed how these engagement patterns relate to academic self-concept as an antecedent and achievement as an outcome. In an empirical study, high school students (N = 397) from 20 eighth-grade classrooms were surveyed and videotaped during one mathematics school lesson. The design included a pre- and post-test, with the videotaping occurring in between. Five within-student engagement patterns were identified by latent profile analysis: disengaged, compliant, silent, engaged, and busy. Students with higher academic self-concept were more likely to show a pattern of moderate to high engagement. Compared with students with low engagement, students with higher engagement patterns gained systematically in end-of-year achievement. These findings illustrate the power of person-centered analyses to illuminate the complexity of student engagement. They imply the need for differentiation beyond disengaged and engaged students and bring along the recognition that being engaged can take on various forms, from compliant to busy.

Do So

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.

The purpose of this study was to compare the student engagement of career academy students to those at a traditional comprehensive high school. We operationalized student engagement using a multi-dimensional construct comprised of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional measures. Based on data from 669 career academy students and 614 comprehensive school students, we found that academy students had significantly higher levels of cognitive and emotional engagement than those at comprehensive schools. However, we found no statistically significant differences in the levels of behavioral engagement of academy students compared to comprehensive school students. Based on our findings, participation in the academy model has the potential to increase high school students' levels of cognitive and emotional engagement, particularly those from underrepresented and ethnically and racially diverse backgrounds.

Abstract –The aim of this study was to examine the role of conscientiousness personaity trait and school climate toward bullying. A sample of 616 senior high school students from five regions in Jakarta were acquired for this study using cluster random sampling technique. The NEO PI-R Scale, The School Climate Scale, and The Scale of Bullying were used in this study. The research hypothesized that there would be a significant negative correlation between the personality trait and school goals and norms on bullying. The study found that conscientiousness personality trait and school goals and norms in school settings have significant negative correlations to bullying. Regression test results indicated that conscientiousness trait and school goals and norms contributed 4.2% and 3.8% on bullying.  It was concluded that to obtain the optimal results, bullying prevention programs in schools should consider improving students’ personality trait and the school climate.Abstrak — Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap peran trait kepribadian dan iklim sekolah terhadap perundungan. Riset terhadap 616 siswa yang berasal dari lima wilayah provinsi DKI Jakarta dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik sampling kluster acak. Skala NEO PI-R, Skala Iklim Sekolah, serta Skala Perundungan digunakan sebagai alat ukur dalam penelitian ini. Hipotesis penelitian ini adalah terdapat hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara aspek (trait) kepribadian conscientiousness dan tujuan dan norma sekolah terhadap perundungan. Hasil riset  membuktikan hipotesis yang telah ditegakkan, yaitu aspek kepribadian conscientiousness serta tujuan dan norma sekolah memiliki korelasi negatif yang signifikan terhadap perundungan. Hasil uji regresi menunjukkan bahwa sifat kepribadian conscientiousness memberikan kontribusi sebesar 4.2 % terhadap perilaku perundungan pada siswa; sementara peran tujuan dan norma sekolah terhadap perundungan adalah sebesar 3.8 %. Dapat disimpulkan bila pencegahan perundungan di sekolah perlu memperhatikan pengembangan kepribadian siswa, maupun pembenahan iklim sekolah agar memeroleh hasil optimal.

Research on student engagement has been incrase in recent years. Therefore, to determine the high or low level of student engagement, a valid and reliable measuring instrument is required. This means that the measuring instrument of student engagement must measure only the construct of student engagement reliably and consistently in measurement. The purpose of this research was to test the validity and reliability of the student engagement construct based on Fredrick et al theory. The components of student engagement that are used as a reference for making measuring instruments consist of behavioral engagement, emotional engagement, and cognitive behavior. The study was conducted on 100 high school students using a proportional sampling technique. The measuring instrument is constructed using a semantic differential scaling model. The validity and reliability test used the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) approach with the help of PLS 3.2.9 software. The results showed that the student attachment measurement tool was declared valid and reliable to be used as a measuring tool. The convergent and discriminant validity tests have met the standards, with loading factor score value of P> 0.5, while the Cronbach alpha reliability score is 0.753 and the composite reliability is 0.835. This measuring instrument is also declared fit with an RSMR value of 0.033. 7 items dropped out of the 18 items tested. Keywords :Student Engagement, Validity,Reliability, Measurement
