Abstract:
This study presents a critique of Jaana Juvonen’s Sense of Belonging Model.
Juvonen highlights that the quality of a student’s teacher and peer
relationships determine whether he or she belongs to his or her school. As
Juvonen’s Model only presents a few specific teacher, student, and peer
behaviors, her model also does not demonstrate the role that a student’s
scholastic environment plays in the academic motivation and/or achievement
process. In addition, this study clarifies that very few of a student’s
personal behaviors are researched in literature. However, this study does illustrate
many teacher and peer behaviors that are published by various authors.
Moreover, various pro-social and anti-social behaviors of students, peers, and
teachers are discussed. Finally, this study emphasizes several non-behavioral
or environmental factors, which impact a student’s sense of belonging, followed
by his or her academic achievement.
