Analysis

The “Classmate Support Subscale” is a tool used to assess the support a student receives from their classmates. This scale measures perceived help, encouragement, and emotional support provided by peers in various aspects of school life. It includes questions related to assistance with schoolwork, the enhancement of self-confidence, and the sense of belonging within the group. Students’ responses provide an overall picture of social interaction and the sense of community within the classroom, contributing to the understanding of how peer support can influence students’ academic and psychosocial development.
