A relação entre apego à escola e valores humanos

Abstract

The aims of this study were, firstly, to know the correlation between attachment to school and value standards and specifically to verify the existence of a positive correlation with social values. Secondly, to identify the level of the students' attachment to school and finally to compare the average of attachment to the place according to sex and the education system. Therefore, this was a correlational and comparative study that encompassed the participation of 200 secondary education students from the city of João Pessoa-PB, evenly distributed between public and private schools, the majority of whom were female (64%) aged ranging from 14 to 19 years (mean = 16.14, SD = 0.831). The participants answered the Attachment to Place Scale, the Basic Values Questionnaire and sociodemographic questions. The data were organized to perform descriptive and inferential analysis. The results showed that the dimension of attachment to place correlated with the following subfunctions: interactive (r = 0.42; p = <0.01) suprapersonal (r = 0.30; p = <0.01), existence (r = 0.24; p = <0.01), normative (r = 0.23; p = <0.01) and performance (r = 0.21; p = <0.01). Moreover, it was possible to note that the attachment to place level of the students towards their school was meritorious (m = 3.63; SD = 0.52). Furthermore, it was noted that only the education system variable showed statistically significant differences at attachment to place [F (1,197) = 10.10; p = <0.01]. It is concluded that there is need for expansion and development of projects for the students awareness and stimulation so that they may reflect on their learning.
