Dr. T. Sivasakthi Rajammal

Abstract: School climate refers to the academic and social atmosphere experienced by the students and teachers on the campus that forms the basis for learning, academic achievement and student growth. In this study, it refers to the school climate of higher secondary and is measured by School Climate Questionnaire constructed and validated by Investigator and Research Supervisor (2022). Stratified random sampling technique was adopted for selecting sample from population. It is a probability sampling technique in which the total population is divided into homogenous groups (strata) to complete the sampling process (Qualtrics, n.d.). Taking into account the strata gender, locality of the school, medium of study, type of school and type of management the investigator selected the 1,350 samples from 27 higher secondary schools from Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam and Cuddalore districts of Tamil Nadu state in India. From each district 450 samples were selected for the study using stratified random sampling technique. The investigator used appropriate statistical techniques like ?t? test ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), and post-hoc ANOVA.
