STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AT SCHOOLA SENSE OF BELONGING AND PARTICIPATIONRESULTS FROM PISA 2000 Jon Douglas WillmsOECDORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENTFOREWORD3 OECD 2003 FOREWORDMost students participate in academic and non-academic activities at school, and develop a SENSE of BELONGING their friends are there, they have good relations with teachers and other students, and they identify with and value schooling outcomes. But many students are not engaged. They do not believe their school experience has much bearing on their future, and they do not feel accepted by their classmates or teachers. Gradually these students withdraw from school life, and become disaffected from school. Some disaffected students are disruptive in class, and exert a negative influence on other students.
treated alongside academic achievement as an important schooling outcome.

Rather, it entails attitudes and behaviours that can be affected by teachers and parents, and shaped by school policy and practice.
