The Role of Classroom Learning Environment to ‎Adolescent Students' Belonging in the School ‎Community

Abstract

This study investigated the role of classroom learning environment as a predictor for adolescent students' belonging to their school community among a sample of 746 eighth- ninth- and tenth- grade basic-stage male and female students enrolled in second Amman Directorate of Education, Jordan, who were chosen by a cluster random sampling method. To achieve the goals of the study, students' school belonging and classroom learning environment scales were used. The results of the study showed that the level of students' school belonging was moderate. The results also showed that the mean of female students was higher than the mean of male students on the school-belonging scale. Also, there were no differences in the level of school belonging due to classroom variable. Likewise, regression analysis indicated that classroom learning environment contributed significantly to the prediction of adolescent students' belonging to their school community.
