The results showed that the students have a high level of all sub-fields of the scale except for the field of self-control. The results of the study indicated that the average of student’s grades in this field is moderate. The results showed a statistically significant positive correlation between the field of school adjustment and academic achievement, while there was no relationship between the fields (self-control, peer relations, emotional representation( and academic achievement. The results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05( in the total score of the scale and in the scores of the sub-fields between the ninth graders and eleventh grade students in favor of the ninth graders. The results also indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the total score of the scale and in the scores of the fields (peer relations and school adjustment) attributed to the academic year variable in favor of the tenth grade students. The results of the study also indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the total score of the scale and the scores of the subfields due to the interaction between the sex and the academic year. | en_US |
