Do School Climate and Subjective Well-Being Affect Student Achievement in Indonesia?: A Linear Regression Analysis

Abstract

Do school climate and subjective well-being affect student achievement in Indonesia? A linear regression analysis. Objectives: The purpose of this study is divided into two parts. First, to investigate whether school climate and subjective well-being influence student achievement. Second, to determine whether school size moderates this association, especially the teacher support and student achievement. Methods: This research uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. Data were obtained from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2018. The number of respondents is 12089 students from 397 schools in Indonesia. Findings: The results showed that: 1) the level of parental education influences student achievement; 2) School climate positively impacts student achievement; 3) School size moderates the association between teacher support and student achievement in Indonesia. Conclusion: School climate is an important factor for student achievement. We suggest that improvements in the school climate should be implemented to improve student achievement in Indonesia.
