Abstract

The effective schools literature has shown that school-contextual aspects matter for students’ academic and social outcomes. A potential link here may be the quality of the relationships between teachers and students, but few studies have investigated whether features of school effectiveness are in fact associated with students’ perceptions of teacher caring, which is the main purpose of this study. Based on recently collected data from 150 senior-level school units in Stockholm, school effectiveness in terms of teacher-assessed ‘school leadership’, ‘teacher cooperation and consensus’, and ‘school ethos’ (n = 2073) was analyzed in relation to perceived teacher caring as reported by students (n = 8022). Two-level linear regression analyses showed that all three aspects of school effectiveness were predictive of higher levels of perceived teacher caring among students. The findings suggest that these features of school effectiveness constitute an important foundation for promoting the quality of teachers’ relationships with their students.

学校效能与学生对教师关怀的感知:一项多层次研究

有效的学校文献表明，学校环境方面对学生的学业和社会成果很重要。这里的一个潜在联系可能是师生关系的质量，但很少有研究调查学校有效性的特征是否实际上与学生对教师关怀的看法有关，这是本研究的主要目的。根据最近从斯德哥尔摩150所高级学校单位收集的数据，我们分析了教师评估的“学校领导”、“教师合作与共识”和“学校风气”(n = 2073)与学生报告的感知教师关怀(n = 8022)之间的关系。两水平线性回归分析显示，学校效能的所有三个方面都能预测学生对教师关怀的感知水平。研究结果表明，学校效能的这些特征是提高师生关系质量的重要基础。
