Uniforms in Three Middle Schools: Student Opinions
Yoxsimer, Andrew; Sanchez, Jafeth E.
Education Leadership Review of Doctoral Research, v10 p108-121 Fall 2022
This quantitative study used an existing dataset with responses from 1,848 public middle school students' opinions on the benefits of wearing a school uniform. Efforts in favor of and against school uniforms are noted, and the analyses used to examine demographic variables (i.e., gender, grade-level, and race/ethnicity) reveals that students in the 7th grade and Hispanic/Latino students benefited from the uniforms as compared to their peers. These insights can help school leaders identify practices that promote positive responses to the factors measured by the Student School Uniform Survey. Positive increases in students' perceptions of the constructs identified in the Student School Uniform Survey could support efforts toward increased learning experiences for all students. This is especially important with the understanding that, when students' social-emotional needs are met within a school culture of learning, positive learning outcomes can transpire. A discussion of these findings is shared, along with a conclusion.
