Abstract

The present study investigated factors related to school and teacher that could discriminate low-achieving disadvantaged and high-able (resilient) disadvantaged students, among which there is a large achievement difference.

Twentytwo items from 5 dimensions data set were included: Student-Teacher Relations (5 items), Sense of Belonging (9 items), Attitude towards Learning at School (4 items) and Attitude toward School (4 items). Results indicated that some items could be able to achievement differences between low-achievers and resilient students. The findings of the present may provide significant information as to increase rate of resilient students.
