This study analyzes whether this adjustment is influenced by students (and their parents) place of birth, gender and age. The sample group comprised 828 secondary school students (Mean age=14.83; SD=1.81) from the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (BC) in Spain. The results indicate that students born in the BC to native parents have higher levels of affective engagement and achieve better academic results; however, contrary to expectation, not all natives born to immigrant parents were found to score higher for the different dimensions of school adjustment than those born outside the BC. Also, in general, girls were found to have a higher level of adjustment than boys, and students in the last two years of secondary school had lower levels of performance and engagement than both those in the first two years of secondary school and those in higher education. These results are then discussed in the final part of the paper. 2018 artículo científico 1888-8992 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=129355455002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1293/129355455002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1293/129355455002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1293/129355455002/129355455002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1293/129355455002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1293 European Journal of Education and Psychology application/pdf Asociación Universitaria de Educación y Psicología European Journal of Education and Psychology (España) Num.2 Vol.11 |
