Assessing the Social Climate of Six Navy Schools.
Abstract
Based upon the work of Insel and Moose, a method of assessing ten environmental dimensions within six Navy schools was found to be effective in identifying differences across these six student groups (N=6257). Results showed that students from schools with the largest disenrollment percentages has the largest mean expected-real and ideal-real discrepancies, whereas students who attended schools with low disenrollment rates had the smallest mean discrepancies. The largest disparities between these schools indicated that students from schools with the largest disenrollment felt that their schools could emphasize less work pressure and more pressure and more student involvement, staff support, clarity of the rules, innovative changes, and comfortable surroundings. These findings could be used to facilitate environmental change and provide information to prospective students about the social climate within their schools. (Author)
