The good character explained about one fourth of the variance
in positive classroom behavior, with the specific strengths of perseverance, love of learning, and prudence showing the most substantial positive correlations.
Safe and orderly environments that encourage and
reinforce positive classroom behavior have been identified by research as one of the necessary conditions for academic achievement (Marzano, 2003).
A review of the literature by Hoge and Luce (1979) indicates that patterns
of positive classroom behaviors (attention, positive peer interaction, lesson participation, and rule compliance) are correlated positively with academic achievement.
These programs help to increase homework completion, improve student academic achievement, and aid in the development of skills and behaviors important for academic success such as attendance, getting along with others, motivation to learn, participation in classroom activities, and
positive classroom behavior.
Safe and orderly environments that encourage and reinforce
positive classroom behavior have been identified by research as one of the necessary conditions for academic achievement (Marzano, 2003).
The present study investigated the role of the good character at school, specifically, its associations with satisfaction with school experiences, academic self - efficacy,
positive classroom behavior, and objective school success (i.e., school grades).
