Classroom environment is a multidimensional construct that reflects the quality of interpersonal relationships, organizational dynamics, and the emotional environment experienced by students. This study aims to investigate the possible associations between perceived classroom climate and certain aspects of students’ emotional well-being, such as social anxiety, socio-emotional competencies and relation dynamics. The research also examines the role of sociodemographic variables, such as gender and age, and incorporates information collected through parental contributions. The approach is multidimensional and includes an initial literature review on classroom climate and the investigated constructs, followed by an experimental phase conducted on a sample of primary and lower secondary school students. Standardized tools were used, including the My Class Inventory (MCI) to assess classroom climate, a sociogram to analyze peer dynamics, the MASC-2 scale (social anxiety), and the SSiS to measure students’ socio-emotional competencies. The results highlight the role of classroom climate as a protective and promoting factor in students’ emotional well-being within the school context.
Il clima di classe è un costrutto multidimensionale che riflette la qualità delle relazioni interpersonali, delle dinamiche organizzative e del contesto emotivo vissuto dagli studenti. La presente ricerca si propone di indagare le possibili relazioni tra il clima di classe percepito e alcune dimensioni del benessere emotivo degli studenti, quali l’ansia sociale, le competenze socio-emotive e dinamiche relazionali. Inoltre, lo studio analizza il ruolo di variabili sociodemografiche, come il sesso e l’età, e si avvale di informazioni raccolte attraverso il contributo dei genitori. L’approccio adottato è multidimensionale e prevede un’iniziale revisione della letteratura sul clima di classe e sui costrutti indagati, seguita da una fase sperimentale condotta su un campione di studenti della scuola primaria e secondaria di primo grado. Sono stati impiegati strumenti standardizzati come il My Class Inventory (MCI) per la valutazione del clima di classe, un sociogramma per l’analisi delle dinamiche tra pari, la scala MASC-2 (ansia sociale) e il SSiS per la rilevazione delle competenze socio-emotive. I risultati ottenuti contribuiscono a sottolineare il ruolo del clima di classe come fattore protettivo e promotore del benessere emotivo nel contesto scolastico.

Abstract
Classroom environment is a multidimensional construct that reflects the quality of interpersonal relationships, organizational dynamics, and the emotional environment experienced by students. This study aims to investigate the possible associations between perceived classroom climate and certain aspects of students’ emotional well-being, such as social anxiety, socio-emotional competencies and relation dynamics. The research also examines the role of sociodemographic variables, such as gender and age, and incorporates information collected through parental contributions. The approach is multidimensional and includes an initial literature review on classroom climate and the investigated constructs, followed by an experimental phase conducted on a sample of primary and lower secondary school students. Standardized tools were used, including the My Class Inventory (MCI) to assess classroom climate, a sociogram to analyze peer dynamics, the MASC-2 scale (social anxiety), and the SSiS to measure students’ socio-emotional competencies. The results highlight the role of classroom climate as a protective and promoting factor in students’ emotional well-being within the school context.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
