Enhancing children’s level of success in every discipline by assuring school attachment is one of the most essential factors in accomplishing the objectives of basic education. In this study, the influence of positive school experiences and school satisfaction on school attachment was investigated. In this context, the mediating effect of school satisfaction on the relationship between 3rd and 4th-grade primary school students’ perceptions of positive experiences at school and their school attachment was examined. Using the Positive Experiences at School Scale, the School Satisfaction Scale, and The School Attachment Scale for Children and Adolescents, data were collected from 912 students enrolled in elementary school. The results indicated that positive school experiences had an effect on school attachment both directly and indirectly via the partial mediation effect of school satisfaction. Based on the findings, recommendations were formed.  \nKeywords: Attachment To School, Attachment to the Teacher, Attachment to Friends, Primary Education, Positive School Experience, School Satisfaction.  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2023 .600.18  \nSubmitted: 19 April 2023 Accepted: 15 August 2023 Published: 30 September 2023  \n1Assist.Prof.Dr., Faculty of Education, Uşak University, Uşak, Türkiye, ORCID: [https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8342-0160](https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8342-0160)  \nCorrespondence: [gokhan.demirhan@usak.edu.tr](gokhan.demirhan@usak.edu.tr)  \n2 Assoc.Prof.Dr., Uşak University ,Uşak, Türkiye, ORCID: [https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9064-2335](https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9064-2335)), Email: [seval.kocak@usak.edu.tr](seval.kocak@usak.edu.tr)  \nIntroduction  \nText (Primary education is vital in acquiring essential life skills and establishing the building blocks of cognitive, social, and emotional development. Primary schools, where social life skills are developed (Çubukçu & Gültekin, 2006), where children’s capacity to recognize and perceive the world and the region in which they live is increased (Kızılçaoğlu, 2006), and where scientific attitudesand behaviors are acquired (Yılmaz, 2007), are of great importance for both the individual and social development of children. In fact, UNICEF describes the significance of primary school as follows:“Primary education forms the bedrock of development. It is in primary school that children learn foundational skills that prepare them for life, work and active citizenship.”  \nDue to the aforementioned objectives, primary school is acknowledged globally as the foundational level of education that influences the quality of higher levels of education (Etor, Mbon,& Ekanem, 2013) . Achieving these objectives in primary schools depends on children’s commitment to school and their active and enthusiastic participation in all educational processes. Thus, the objectives and significance of primary school education are a basis for conducting this study on school attachment at the elementary level.  \nExisting literature demonstrates the positive impact of school engagement on students at various levels. Notably, research indicates that school engagement benefits academic performance and achievement (Appleton, Christenson, & Furlong, 2008; Chase et al., 2014; Lee, 2014; Pehlivan &Özgenel, 2020; Wolohan, 2009) . Furthermore, studies reveal a positive correlation between school engagement and academic aspirations (Koçak & Ay, 2020) and a negative correlation with academic procrastination behaviors (Erzen & Çıkrıkçı, 2018) . Moreover, students with high levels of school engagement tend to possess elevated future expectations and self-esteem (Baş & Altun, 2020","cbCaiszp7VF8rKRd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiszp7VF8rKRd","pdf",372646,24,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Purpose of the Study","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main purpose?\",\"answer\":\"To investigate whether school satisfaction mediates the relationship between 3rd- and 4th-grade students’ perceptions of positive experiences at school and their level of school attachment.\"},{\"question\":\"How were data collected for this study?\",\"answer\":\"Using the Positive Experiences at School Scale, the School Satisfaction Scale, and The School Attachment Scale for Children and Adolescents, data were collected from 912 elementary students.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results show about positive school experiences and school attachment?\",\"answer\":\"Positive school experiences affect school attachment both directly and indirectly, with school satisfaction providing a partial mediation effect.\"}]","The Mediating Role of School Satisfaction in the Relationship between Positive Experiences at School and School Attachment | PDF",1792095734]
