Relation between school success promotion strategies and student's engagement with school

The association between the students' perception of the school characteristics and the students' engagement with school requires further research. The aim of the study was to describe the association between the students' perception of school success promotion strategies and students' engagement with school. The sample consisted of 529 students, enrolled in elementary and middle-school classes, from a municipality in Northern Portugal, Vila Nova de Famalicão. The results showed a statistically significant positive correlation between the students' perception of the school success promoting strategies and students' engagement with school. These results have strong implications with respect to the efforts to improve education and school effectiveness, including the promotion of positive academic trajectories.
