“…Studies have shown that students' perception of classroom fairness is linked to their level of academic achievement (Holmgren and Bolkan, 2014), engagement (Berti, Molinari, and Speltini, 2010), and motivation for learning (Chory-Assad, 2002). In contrast, perception of classroom unfairness is associated with student truancy (Ishak and Fin, 2013), cheating (Murdock, Miller, and Goetzinger, 2007), and negative behaviors (e.g., hostility and aggression) (Chory-Assad and Paulsel, 2004b;Chory-Assad and Paulsel, 2004a). Despite these strong empirical relationships, fairness remains an ambiguously understood construct within assessment literature, with varying conceptions and definitions often predicated on a psychometric logic (Tierney, 2013).…”

Conceptualizing fairness through social psychology theory has recently been called for in classroom assessment (CA) literature. This study used two open-ended questionnaires to explore university students' critical incidents of fairness and unfairness and their affective and behavioral reactions to experiences of un/fairness. The findings showed that students' perceptions of CA fairness were comprised of distributive, procedural, and interactional justice principles. Collectively, students considered the distribution of outcomes, the procedures for outcome distributions, the interpersonal relationships, and the communication procedures in conceptualizing fairness. Students also reported positive feelings such as happiness, satisfaction, feeling valued, and hopefulness when describing fair incidents, while they tended to report negative feelings such as anger, upset, disappointment, and embarrassment as responses to unfair incidents. Students also reported increased classroom engagement and greater adaptation in responses to fairness incidents, while they reported class disengagement, inaction, and dissent as responses to unfair incidents. Building on these empirical findings, a more comprehensive conceptualization of fairness in CA contexts is proposed.

“…According to the Ministry of Education records, in 2010, out of 111,484 discipline problem cases, 19,545 (17.5%) cases involved truancy. In 2011, from the 108,650 discipline problem cases, 18,550 (17%) involved truanting behavior (Ishak & Fin, 2013). Studies carried out in Malaysia on various social problems involving teenagers, have reported a truancy percentage among students of around 30% (Shah et al, 2012;Hidayah et al, 2003;Nik Ruzyanei et al, 2009).…”

This study aimed to examine the prevalence of truancy and its associated factors among school going Malaysian adolescents. The Malaysia Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS) was conducted from February to April 2012 involving 28,933 students aged 12-17 years old. A two-stage cluster sampling was used to select the schools and students with an overall response rate of 88.6%. The data were obtained using the GSHS questionnaire. The prevalence of truancy was 30.8% and significantly higher among male than female (32.9% vs 28.7%). The factors associated with truancy were current smoker (aOR: 2.23; 95% CI: 2.03-2.46), current drug user (aOR: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.52-3.29), current alcohol use (aOR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.24-1.56), having been bullied (aOR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.22-1.42) and not currently live with both parents (aOR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.16-1.35). High truancy among school going adolescents warrants a new effective strategy to control truancy in Malaysia.

A presente revisão integrativa de literatura investigou as relações existentes entre a educação escolar e a conduta infracional em adolescentes. As bases de dados consultadas foram PsycINFO, LILACS e Scielo, no período de 2008 a 2012. Aplicados critérios de inclusão e de exclusão, a revisão incidiu sobre 32 artigos. Os resultados evidenciaram que aspectos negativos da vivência escolar não somente contribuem para o desenvolvimento de conduta infracional na adolescência, como também se constituem em preditores significativos, especialmente a "fraca vinculação escolar". Todavia, trata-se de um processo de natureza complexa que é perpassado por múltiplos fatores pertencentes a diferentes domínios, que se encontram na dependência indireta de outros agentes e contextos sociais, apresentando também intensidade variada. Evidenciou-se ainda a necessidade de realização de mais estudos nacionais com vistas a uma melhor compreensão das especificidades da realidade educacional brasileira.
