Description
Summary:The study was initiated with the objective of examining the teachers' perception of their school climate in government and Seventh-day Adventist (Adventist) schools. Data were collected from 273 government and 97 Adventist schoolteachers and analyzed using frequency, percentage, t test, and ANOVA measures. Findings were that Adventist school climate is heathier than government schools. Differences in school climate dimensions were that professionalism was ranked first for government and academic press was ranked first in Adventist schools, but the academic press was rated the least in government schools; community engagement was ranked the least exercised dimension in Adventist schools. Also, female teachers perceived their schools to be healthier than did male teachers.
