Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the current research was to investigate the effectiveness of education based on the social-emotional competence model on the sense of belonging to school and the academic adjustment of elementary school boys in Khorramabad city. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study included all male elementary school students in Khorramabad city in the academic year of 2022-2023. Among the statistical population, 30 students from three grades (4th, 5th, 6th) were selected by available sampling method and then assigned to two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups by random sampling. The experimental group underwent social-emotional competence training during 9 sessions of 50 minutes, but the control group did not receive the training certificate. The tools used in the current research were the school belongingness questionnaire by Berry and Betty (2005) and the academic adjustment questionnaire by Baker and Seriak (1984). In order to analyze the data, univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used.
Findings: The results of the analysis of the research findings showed that the education based on the social-emotional competence model is effective on the sense of belonging to the school and the academic adjustment of the students (p<0.05). In other words, the average scores of the subjects of the experimental group in the post-test were higher than those of the control group in the feeling of belonging to the school and academic adjustment.
