Student-teacher relationship representation and school adjustment in primary school

2022 - Franco Angeli

1-12 p.

  • The present study investigates studentteacher and studentpeer relationships, as well as school adjustment. A novelty element is the use of drawing of oneself with a teacher to predict some aspects of children's adjustment in primary school. Our aim was to evaluate what aspects of studentteacher relationship as perceived by children were more predictive of relational wellbeing in class and school adjustment. In sum, our results confirm that, as predicted by the attachment theory (Hamre amp; Pianta, 2001), a relationship perceived as close by the teacher goes hand in hand with school adjustment and relational wellbeing in school. Autonomy, too, play a positive role. In terms of predictive power, gaining autonomy from teachers seems to predict students wellbeing even more than closeness, at least as it appears from students pictorial representation.
