Abstract

Connectedness of the school climate and perceived life-satisfaction of the Slovene youth in PISA 2018 Life satisfaction depends, on the one hand, on the subjective characteristics of the individual and on the other hand on environmental factors. The school climate is strongly connected with the adolescents' everyday experience and self-evaluation, and teachers are important adults in this environment who can enhance their feelings and beliefs. We were interested in the main predictors of life satisfaction in the school environment. The multiple regression analysis was conducted on the PISA 2018. The analysis included 4810 15-year-olds. We included seven predictors in the model: a sense of belonging to the school, the frequency of peer violence, the disciplinary climate, the teacher's enthusiasm, the teacher's support, teacher-directed instruction and the teacher's feedback. The five-predictor model explains 12.1% of the total variance in life satisfaction and is statistically significant. Adolescents are more satisfied with their lives when they experience higher school belonging, when they perceive or experience less violence from peers, when they perceive or experience support from teachers during lessons, when they receive precise instructions for their work and when they receive formative feedback. Key words: school climate, life satisfaction, adolescents, PISA 2018
