Valoración del alumnado de primaria sobre convivencia escolar: El valor de la red de iguales

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find the most important elements of school coexistence that third cycle Andalusian elementary school students perceive to be the drivers of school coexistence, as well as the dimensions that have predictive value on their assessment of school coexistence. By using a cross-design and a representative sample of the Andalusian population of Spain, 1265 students we surveyed (47.7% girls). Descriptive results indicate that school coexistence is characterized by good levels of quality in interpersonal relationships and low levels of difficulty to get those marks. Multiple linear regression results suggest that among the elements with predictive value for a child to value school coexistence as positive, peer networking ranks stems out. That finding withstood controlling for differences based on gender and grade in the regression models: the positive perception of the peer network remained a good predictor value of the level of school coexistence.
