School Climate and Teacher’s Perceptions after the Implementation of a Program of School Coexistence

Abstract

The aim of this work was to assess the perceptions about school climate in two groups of teachers from two different primary schools. The fi rst group (experimental group) has implemented a program of school coexistence, the other (control group) did not. This research involved 48 teachers who completed the Perception Scale Climate (24 from experimental center and 24 from control group). Statistically signifi cant differences were found in favor of experimental center. Differences between the experimental center and control group were found in different scale items, as well as in two of the six evaluated factors. In general, teachers from the experimental group perceived better school climate than teachers from control group.
