Abstract

The goal of the present research is to identify the correlation between students’ perception of their school climate, their teachers’ academic optimism, and how these two factors affect overall academic engagement among students. The research sample comprised of 1200 female students and 48 teachers. Findings indicated that the perception of teacher’s support and perception of student’s autonomy have significant impact on the student’s academic engagement. Further, the relationship between a teacher’s efficacy and positive role in student engagement was found to be significant.
