MELO, Madalena  and  GUERRA, Cláudia. School climate and involvement in school of 7^th - 9^th grade students. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.1, pp. 37-56. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2020.v14.27611.

The present study aimed to: 1) translate and adapt a Portuguese school climate questionnaire (Delaware School Climate Survey-Student - DSCS-S); 2) understand the relationships between school climate and student involvement in school and their previous school success. The Four-Dimensional Scale of Student Involvement (EAE-E4D) and the adapted version of the DSCS-S were applied to a sample of 442 students from 7th - 9th grades of the city of Évora, Portugal. The main results demonstrate the importance of teacher - student relationships in the way the school climate is related to successful school pathways. Significant differences were found in the affective and behavioral involvement among students with and without school success. There was a positive and moderate correlation between the school climate and the students' involvement in school.

Keywords : School climate; Student involvement school; School success.
