Psychology in the Schools, v56 n5 p670-689 May 2019
School satisfaction is the reflection of students' comprehensive evaluation of their school experience. This study reports the level of school satisfaction among students in Grades 6 and 8 in Bangladesh to perceive and the factors that might contribute to it using a cross-sectional research design. A 61-item survey questionnaire was utilized to collect data. The students' mean score on the school satisfaction subscale of the Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale equated to a slightly positive attitude towards school. Three demographic factors including students' academic achievement, gender, and grade level; and two school climate factors of perceived teacher-student relationship, and perceived academic support, emerged from the multiple regression analysis. The study findings are discussed from the perspective of self-determination theory with implications for practice and avenues for future research offered.
