The Relationship Between the Quality of Students' Learning Experiences in the Sense of Belonging to the School with the Mediating Role of Attitude Toward the Curriculum

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the quality of students' learning experiences in the sense of belonging to the school with the mediating role of attitude toward the curriculum. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population of the study included the second grade high school students in Ardebil in the academic year of 1997-96. The sample size was 358 individuals which was determined by Morgan and Krejcy tables and were selected by random cluster sampling method. The data was gathered through three questionnaires of Newman and Newman learning experiences (1993), belonging to Barry and Betty School (2005) and Asadian Curriculum (1395). The results of this study indicated that the attitude toward the 42% beta coefficient curriculum is the strongest predictor of the quality of learning experiences and there was a significant relationship between the components of the quality of learning experiences (resources, content, flexibility, quality of teacher-student relationships) and students' attitudes towards the curriculum.
