Abstract

Three hundred and sixty five senior secondary and technical school students purposively and conveniently sampled, completed questionnaires on classroom justice scales comprising; distributive, interactional and procedural justice scales. Correlation analyses indicated a significant positive relationship between classroom justice and student empowerment. Regression analyses revealed procedural justice perceptions as the only predictor of student empowerment . Results are discussed within the framework of the social exchange theory.
