Student Segments Based on the Factors Related to Sense of Belonging Across Disadvantaged and Resilient Groups in PISA 2012

The present study investigated differences between disadvantaged and resilient students in terms of sense of belonging, as measured in PISA 2012. To this end, a segmentation method was employed to define student segments differing in ratios of resilient students. Results indicated that there is a relationship between academic resiliency and sense of belonging. While the relationship between resiliency and the some predictors seemed to be varying, there are some predictors with direct relationships with academic resiliency.
