Estimation of school effect and classroom effect on motivation among high school students
The goal of this study is to examine the respective importance of school and classroom effects on students’ motivation and achievement. 7433 junior and senior high school students enrolled in 54 public schools from the province of Quebec agreed to participate. Results of the multilevel analyses showed that the variance of school effects on students’ motivation ranged from 0,2 % to 2,5 % whereas the variance of the effects of classroom ranged from 2,0 % to 7,2 %. Although the school effect on students’ achievement was also weaker than the effect of the classroom, both effects were stronger than they were on motivation.
