The aim of this study was to examine the associations between features of class climate and school wellbeing, based on self-rated health and reports of absence from school due to illness among adolescents in secondary schools, by using data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS).
Data was obtained from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The sample includes (n=7,348) seventh grade students in regular schools (Starting Cohort 3, Wave 3, 2012). Measures of class climate comprise indicators about demands, control and orientation, autonomy and interaction among students as well as teaching quality in German language class. School wellbeing was measured by satisfaction with school and helplessness in main school subjects. Bivariate and logistic multilevel logistic regression techniques are applied, by controlling for student age, gender and school type attended.
Multilevel results showed that particularly among students with higher school satisfaction, there was a higher likelihood of self-rated health and less school absence due to illness. In contrast, perceived helplessness in major subjects and learning orientation were negatively associated with both outcomes. Further, students attending low track schools had a higher risk of school absence than students in high track schools.
The results highlight the fact that particularly students' school wellbeing in terms of school satisfaction and perceived helplessness in the subjects German and mathematics are associated with self-rated poorer health and school absence due to illness. Therefore, health promotion initiatives should particularly focus on students' school wellbeing as well as on students attending low track schools.
本研究旨在利用德国国家教育面板研究（NEPS）的数据，基于中学青少年的自评健康状况和因病缺课报告，探讨班级氛围特征与学校幸福感之间的关联。
数据取自国家教育面板研究（NEPS）。样本包括（n = 7348）普通学校七年级学生（起始队列3，第3轮，2012年）。班级氛围的测量指标包括关于要求、控制与导向、自主性以及学生间互动的指标，以及德语课的教学质量。学校幸福感通过对学校的满意度和在主要学科中的无助感来衡量。应用双变量和逻辑多水平逻辑回归技术，并控制学生年龄、性别和就读学校类型。
多水平结果显示，尤其是在对学校满意度较高的学生中，自评健康状况较好且因病缺课较少的可能性更高。相比之下，在主要学科中感知到的无助感和学习导向与这两个结果均呈负相关。此外，就读低水平学校的学生比就读高水平学校的学生因病缺课风险更高。
结果凸显了这样一个事实，即特别是学生在学校满意度方面的幸福感以及在德语和数学学科中感知到的无助感，与自评较差的健康状况和因病缺课有关。因此，健康促进举措应特别关注学生的学校幸福感以及就读低水平学校的学生。
