Roorda11: Studies on Students' School Engagement and Achievement Reported by Roorda et al. (2011)

Description

The data set includes 45 studies on the influence of affective teacher-student relationships on students' school engagement and achievement reported by Roorda et al. (2011).

Usage

data(Roorda11)

Details

The variables are:

data

A list of 45 studies of correlation matrices. The variables are pos (positive teacher-student relations), neg (negative teacher-student relations), enga (student engagement), and achiev (student achievement).

n

A vector of sample sizes

SES

A vector of average socio-economic status (SES) of the samples
