Abstract
School alienation is a current problem that defines the process of students moving away from the learning process and isolating themselves from the social groups and activities they are involved in at school.The present study was aimed to examine adolescents' alienation from school in terms of gender, migration experience, perception of school security, grade le, academic achievement level, education level of parents, economic status and type of school attended. The study was conducted with 556 adolescents, 238 males and 318 females. The data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. According to the findings of the study grade level, type of school, achievement level and school security perception significantly predicted alienation from school. It was found that the parents' educational status, immigration experience, economic status and gender did not cause a significant difference on the level of alienation from school. In line with these findings, activities such as creating a safe climate at school, carrying out adaptation programs among students, and making students feel the sense of success by being actively involved in the education process can be preventive for alienation from school.
