'Put Students' Dreams First': Student Perspectives on Secondary School Climate Improvement in Mongolia
Enkhtur, Oyundelger; Gruman, Diana H.; Munkhbat, Michidmaa
School Psychology International, v44 n5 p533-552 Oct 2023
Involving students in school improvement can yield many benefits for students and promote meaningful change in educational practices and policies. In this qualitative study, we centered the voices of Mongolian adolescents by soliciting their suggestions for improving safety and support in their schools. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze written comments from 810 Mongolian secondary students grades 8 through 12, yielding five themes related to student voice, food, security, relationships, and holistic development. The aims of the study were to (1) identify similarities and differences between Mongolian student experiences and Western-based school climate research and (2) contribute to the dialogue about school improvement in Mongolia and other non-Western countries. Findings point to recommendations for providing adequate nutrition, ensuring safety, and meeting the basic psychological needs of students in Mongolian secondary schools.
