Abstract
ABSTRACT School climate is one of the variables that affect academic achievement, but the level of correlation between school climate and academic achievement differs. On the basis of these inconsistent results between school climate and academic achievement, researchers can use meta-analyses to shed light on relevant literature. The present study ran a meta-analysis on 38 studies (N Total = 491,312) published between 2000 and 2020. As a result of the completed meta-analysis, the effect size for the correlation between school climate and academic achievement was small (r = 0.178, p < 0.01). Given 207 effect sizes calculated for the meta-analysis, no publication bias was observed. Furthermore, subgroup analyses were conducted based on the dimensions of school climate and school levels. Several suggestions were made available based on the findings.
期刊介绍:
School Effectiveness and School Improvement presents information on educational effectiveness, practice and policy-making across primary, secondary and higher education. The Editors believe that the educational progress of all students, regardless of family background and economic status, is the key indicator of effectiveness and improvement in schools. The journal strives to explore this idea with manuscripts that cover a range of subjects within the area of educational effectiveness at the classroom, school or system level, including, but not limited to: •Effective pedagogy •Classroom climate •School ethos and leadership •School improvement and reform programmes •Systemwide policy and reform
