Attitudes of high school students towards peers and teachers-connection between the school climate

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine aspects of the school climate through the prism of relationships with students and teachers. Students from three high schools in Mostar participated in the research (N = 399). Significance of differences among students was not determined in relation to students with regard to the school that students attend, but statistically significant differences were found in assessments of school climate and attitudes towards teachers with regard to the school they attend. Because students rated their teachers very low, the results obtained can serve as a guideline for improving student-teacher interaction. Teachers of the schools surveyed should work on their leadership and teaching style to create a comfortable school climate.

Voicing green learning in rural areas through service-learning: A participatory action research study

“…The partnership between teachers, students, and community partners is crucial to implementing service-learning pedagogies (Aramburuzabala Higuera et al, 2019;Paniagua & Istance, 2018;Škutor, 2022). Through service-learning projects, teachers have the opportunity to conduct action research (Rutti et al, 2016), which can facilitate educators' understanding of teaching and learning and bring improvements in current teaching practices (Rutti et al, 2016).…”

“…In their work, Paniagua and Istance (2018) shed light on the notion that research focusing on the fundamental principles of effective teaching has revealed that the efficacy of instructional practices is not primarily determined by superficial aspects such as specific teaching methods or student organization techniques. Instead, it hinges on the profound level of instruction, namely, the caliber of interactions between educators and learners centered around meaningful and substantial content (Paniagua & Istance, 2018, p. 22;Škutor, 2022).…”
