ABSTRACT

The present study examined how affect Korean children’s school adjustment. The data used for the purpose of this research came from Korea children’s panel data. A total of 633 children, their mother, and teacher responded a self-reported questionnaire survey. Data were analyzed with bivariate correlations and multiple regression to investigate the relevant predictors of school adjustment with such variables as psychological factors(happiness, self-esteem, problem behaviors), socio-environmental factors(number of friends, peer attachment, school preference, teacher preference), and mother parenting behavior factors(authoritative, authoritarian, permissive). Results indicated that socio-environmental and mother parenting behavior factors were statistically significant predictors of school adjustment. Peer trust, school preference, and teacher preference were statistically significant predictors of school adjustment in male children, while peer rejection, school preference, and teacher preference were the significant predictors of school adjustment in female children. Future directions for further studies into this area and the implications for the practices of children’s school adjustment were discussed.
