PEDAGOGICAL CLIMATE REGARDED AS A FACTOR OF PUPIL’S SELF-DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: Many educational researches concerning the climate inside the educational institutions, as a special kind of the school climate, have given, as a result, relatively completed methodological knowledge of different school climate dimensions and ,therefore, its interactions with various educational variables. In addition, such researches are still current, both in content and theoretical and methodical views.The aim of the researches was to explore the way how the pupils experienced school climate which was represented by different factors: clearness of the rules, teachers’ support, connection, supervision, order and organisation and school milieu, and, whether different views of class climate were significantly connected to pupils’ self-development (school achievement, attitudes tied to the competition). We assumed that secondary school pupils, especially those of the final grades, experienced differently the school climate given by six factors. The used method of research has been accomplished through epistemological hypothesis and methodological approach of new research generation, which is determined, in relevant literature in this area, as a model of high conclusive beta pressure factors.Our results have shown that our understanding of school climate, as a factor of pupils’ self-development, is considerably keeping with scientific conceptions. They content almost all important components which serve the scientists to explain this phenomenon: pupils’ evaluations, regarded individually in the scales and through dimensions, are relatively equalized.The results also confirmed the expectation of systematically and statistically considerable connection of pupils’ evaluations of the school climate as a factor of self-development. Pupils have better results and more positive attitudes and develop competitive spirit if they accept pedagogical climate inside their own class and its factors as supporting ones.
