20.500.12556/DiRROS-23086 Democratic school culture and student–teacher relationships insights from native and immigrant-background students This paper examines how various dimensions of democratic school and classroom culture—openness in classroom discussions, peer interactions, civic learning, influence on decision-making, and civic participation—relate to perceptions of student–teacher relationships of two distinct groups of students (native and immigrant-background students) in Slovenia. Using representative data from the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2022 cycle), analyses revealed that student-perceived positive peer interactions and decision-making influence were consistent, strong predictors of positive student–teacher relationships for both groups of students. However, open classroom discussions and civic learning at school were only significant for native students, suggesting that these aspects of classroom life may not resonate uniformly with all students. Moreover, participation in civic activities, although often seen as an integral part of democratic school culture, emerged as a significant negative predictor of student–teacher relationships only among students with an immigrant background, indicating that these activities may inadvertently highlight barriers or differences rather than promote inclusive engagement. Results are discussed through the lens of fostering positive student–teacher relationships for all students. democratic school culture student–teacher relationships students immigrant background civic and citizenship education vzgoja in izobraževanje demokratična šolska kultura odnosi učenec-učitelj učenci migrantsko ozadje državljanska vzgoja true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-07-23 15:29:00 2025-07-23 15:29:00 2025-10-24 03:53:06 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 15. 7. 2025; str. 1-18 No. 7, [article no.] 419 Vol. 14 2025 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 314.15-93:37.014(497.4) 2076-0760 10.3390/socsci14070419 242932995 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/14/7/419 1 ff102dbb-67c8-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33836 socsci-14-00419-v2.pdf socsci-14-00419-v2.pdf 1 79982FFD51DD29D84A491A2E8FE868E3 8bf3376d30a416e7cd8b866660ef2c5e1d5554ac7dbd4b4fd236c41b51fecd7d 59644181-67c9-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33837 Pedagoški inštitut 0 0 0
