Abstract

Este estudo investigou relações entre clima escolar e satisfação de adolescentes com a escola, a partir de uma amostra de 504 estudantes matriculados no ensino médio de escolas públicas. Os estudantes responderam à Escala Multidimensional de Satisfação de Vida para Adolescentes e a Delaware School Climate Survey. Uma análise de regressão múltipla, utilizando-se o método forward, identificou um modelo com três domínios do clima escolar que contribuíram para a explicação de 30% da variação da satisfação com a escola (p<0,001): Relacionamento Professor-Estudante (?=0,28), Justeza das Regras e Clareza de Expectativas (?=0,21) e Relacionamento Estudante-Estudante (?=0,17). Os resultados sugerem que os relacionamentos, assim como a estrutura oferecida no ambiente escolar, são fundamentais para a explicação da satisfação com a escola. Além disso, os resultados indicam que a melhoria da satisfação dos estudantes com a escola pode ocorrer por meio de aspectos relacionados ao clima escolar, com destaque para a relação Professor-Estudante.
