Factor Affecting Secondary School Students' Level of School Attachment: School Burnout

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the school burnout factors that affect the level of school attachment of secondary school students. The research was carried out with a total of 326 secondary school students studying in the eighth grade in a secondary school in a province of the Central Anatolia Region. In the research, "School Attachment Scale for Children and Adolescents" developed by Savi (2011) to measure students' school attachment levels, and "Primary Education II. “School Burnout Scale for Level 1 Students” was used. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine school burnout as the level of school attachment. SPSS was used in the analysis of the research data. As a result of the research, it was determined that school burnout factors are important factors that predict school attachment. Suggestions for different stakeholders were developed in line with the findings obtained from the research.
