Book Description
This study examined relationships among student perceptions of academic press, belonging, and academic performance (n = 248). A modified 18-item Psychological Sense of School Membership (PSSM) survey assessed students' perceived classroom level belonging and a 7-item subscale measuring academic press extracted from the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Survey (PALS) combined to form one self-report survey. Responses captured fourth grade student perceptions of their levels of belonging and academic press by school, classroom, gender, and race/ethnicity in 11 classrooms from two suburban school districts. Survey data were matched to state-mandated English Language Arts (ELA) and Math test data scores to measure academic performance.
