- Description
- A11 important area of inquiry within the educational domain concerns school climate and related concepts such as school connectedness and school belonging (e.g., Thapa, Cohen, Higgins-D'Alessandro and Guffey, 2013). School climate is defined in different ways, but in essence, it focuses on student perceptions of academic emphasis, the way groups within a school (e.g., teachers, students, parents) relate to one another, and the higher-order norms, values, and practices (shared mission) that define the school as a whole (Thapa et al., 2013). In this chapter, we argue that incorporating a social-psychological analysis of the group within the school climate domain can advance understanding of school life. To date, most emphasis is placed on the psychology of individuals-as-individuals and interpersonal relationships. What is missing is an analysis of the group.
