AB  - School or student engagement is widely recognized as a multidimensional construct that
encompasses three aspects of engagement – cognitive, behavioral and emotional. Research
suggests that school engagement is associated with multiple students outcomes, including
academic achievement, school completion, and social-emotional adjustment. Therefore, the
aim of this study is to assess the engagement of high school students and to examine differences
in the level of engagement by gender and age so that we can determine which students are at
greater risk for various negative outcomes. Data on students’ engagement were collected using
the Delaware Student Engagement Scale (four-point Likert-type scale). The results of the
confirmatory factor analysis did not yield three separate factors, but instead showed that the
items of the behavioral and cognitive engagement subscales were best represented by one
factor. Thus, the scale consists of only two subscales: cognitive/behavioral engagement (8
items) and emotional engagement (4 items). The sample consisted of 860 students (59.6%
female) from Belgrade secondary schools, aged from 15 to 19 (M =16.38, SD = 1.05). The
results show that students are engaged to a considerable extent at the cognitive/behavioral level
(M = 3.22, SD = 0.66) and to a lesser extent at the emotional level (M = 2.85, SD = 0.91). When
looking at the total scores on the cognitive/behavioral engagement subscale, statistically
significant difference in the level of engagement by gender were found, t(786) = 2.29, p = <
0.05, d = 0.17, indicating a slightly higher engagement of female students, while no such
differences were found on the emotional engagement subscale, t(798) = 1.67, p = .10, d = 0.12.
In addition, a weak negative correlation was found between student age and level of
engagement on the cognitive/behavioral (r = -.15, p < .001) and emotional engagement
subscales (r = -.22, p < .001). In summary, the results of this study showed that high school
students’ engagement is at middle level, with girls being slightly more engaged in
cognitive/behavioral aspects and younger students generally more engaged compared to older
ones. This knowledge is is important from the perspective of prevention science and
strengthening protective factors in the school environment, such as student engagement, that
can contribute to positive developmental outcomes of students.

AB  - Disciplinary practices refer to procedures teachers use in school to manage student
behavior and promote self-discipline. The aim of this study is to examine the use of positive,
punitive, and SEL disciplinary techniques and their effects on students’ prosocial behavior.
The research sample consisted of 766 students (61.1% female) aged 15 to 19 years (M = 16.36, SD
= 1.04). Teachers’ disciplinary techniques were assessed using the Delaware Positive, Punitive, and
SEL Techniques Scale (four-point Likert-type scale, α = .87). The scale consists of three subscales
measuring students’ perceptions of the use of positive behavior techniques (6 items, α = .88),
punitive/corrective techniques (6 items, α = .74), and social emotional learning techniques (6
items, α = .88). Data on prosocial behavior were collected using the prosocial subscale of the
Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (5 items, α = .84). The data show that secondary teachers
use all three groups of disciplinary techniques to about the same extent, although SEL and positive
disciplinary techniques are used to a slightly greater extent. Results indicate that teacher
techniques are statistically significantly correlated with student prosocial behavior (r(764) = .40, p =
<.001). The strongest positive correlation was found between SEL learning techniques and
prosocial behavior (r(764) = .48, p = < .001), then with positive behavior techniques (r(764) = .39, p = <
.001), while a very weak negative correlation was found between punitive techniques and
prosocial behavior (r(764) = -.11, p = < .01). This correlation remains even when respondents’ age
and gender are taken into account. The results of this study suggest that in the school context, it
may be useful to plan interventions that promote the use of SEL and positive disciplinary practices
which can be effective for prevention of behavioral problems among students.

development of teachers in the framework of intercultural education.
Aim: An insight into the level of cultural competencies of high school
teachers – in the domains of cultural awareness, knowledge and skills,
while looking at the influence of gender and age of respondents on the
results of self-assessment.
Method: The sample consisted of 254 teachers (78.7% female), aged 23
to 63 (M = 45.7; SD = 9.11), from eight Belgrade high schools. Data were
collected with the Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Checklist, which
consists of 36 items on a four-point Likert-type scale (α = .95), grouped
into three subscales: cultural awareness (α = .77), cultural knowledge (α =
.91) and cultural skills (α = .92).
Results: High school teachers report a satisfactory level of cultural
competence (M = 3.13; SD = .47), whereby they have the most cultural
knowledge (M = 3.38; SD = .52), followed by cultural skills (M = 3.10; SD
= .59) and, finally, cultural awareness (M = 2.88; SD = .49). Younger and
female teachers estimate their own level of overall cultural competence
higher than older (r = 0.21, p < 0.01) and male teachers (t(214) = -2.26, p
< 0.05). The most significant differences, when it comes to the teacher’s
gender, are recorded at the level of cultural skills (t(240) = -3.24, p < 0.01),
while in relation to age, the differences are most pronounced in the
domain of cultural knowledge (r = 0.23, p < 0.01).
Conclusion: Although teachers rate their cultural competence at a
relatively high level, there is room for improvement. It would be desirable
to implement professional development programs that, through the
strengthening of cultural awareness, knowledge and skills of teachers,
would contribute to democratic culture, intercultural education and
culturally competent practice in educational work.

AB  - School o r s tudent e ngagement i s w idely r ecognized a s a m ultidimensional c onstruct
that encompasses three aspects of engagement – cognitive, behavioral, and emotional.
Previous research has linked student engagement to various positive developmental
outcomes such as academic achievement, prosocial behavior, and sense of belonging to
the school. Examining school engagement and its relationship with prosocial behavior
is especially important in high school, when engagement is known to decline. Therefore,
the aim of this study is to examine whether adolescents’ school engagement is
associated with prosocial behavior among high school students.
The research sample consisted of 766 students (61.1% female) from four high schools in
Serbia, age from 15 to 19 (M = 16.36, SD = 1.04). School engagement was assessed by Delaware Student Engagement Scale (four-point Likert-type scale, α = .90). The results
of the confirmatory factor analysis did not yield three separate factors, but instead
showed that the items of the behavioral and cognitive engagement subscales were best
represented by one factor. Thus, the scale consists of only two subscales:
cognitive/behavioral engagement (8 items, α = .89) and emotional engagement (4
items, α = .90). Data on prosocial behavior were collected using the prosocial subscale
of The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (5 items, α = .84).
The results show that school engagement is statistically significantly positively
correlated with students’ prosocial behavior. Students with higher scores on the
engagement scale exhibit more prosocial behaviors (r = .64, p = <.001). In addition, a
stronger relationship is found between students' cognitive-behavioral engagement and
prosocial behaviors (r = .65, p = <.001), compared to emotional engagement (r = .46, p =
<.001). The correlation remains significant even when age and gender of respondents
are taken into account.
The results of this study suggest that school engagement can be a powerful resource
for prevention practice and the promotion of prosocial behavior, and that it would be
useful to plan interventions that promote active engagement of students in school.

that encompasses three aspects of engagement – cognitive, behavioral, and emotional.
Previous research has linked student engagement to various positive developmental
outcomes such as academic achievement, prosocial behavior, and sense of belonging to
the school. Examining school engagement and its relationship with prosocial behavior
is especially important in high school, when engagement is known to decline. Therefore,
the aim of this study is to examine whether adolescents’ school engagement is
associated with prosocial behavior among high school students.
The research sample consisted of 766 students (61.1% female) from four high schools in
Serbia, age from 15 to 19 (M = 16.36, SD = 1.04). School engagement was assessed by Delaware Student Engagement Scale (four-point Likert-type scale, α = .90). The results
of the confirmatory factor analysis did not yield three separate factors, but instead
showed that the items of the behavioral and cognitive engagement subscales were best
represented by one factor. Thus, the scale consists of only two subscales:
cognitive/behavioral engagement (8 items, α = .89) and emotional engagement (4
items, α = .90). Data on prosocial behavior were collected using the prosocial subscale
of The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (5 items, α = .84).
The results show that school engagement is statistically significantly positively
correlated with students’ prosocial behavior. Students with higher scores on the
engagement scale exhibit more prosocial behaviors (r = .64, p = <.001). In addition, a
stronger relationship is found between students' cognitive-behavioral engagement and
prosocial behaviors (r = .65, p = <.001), compared to emotional engagement (r = .46, p =
<.001). The correlation remains significant even when age and gender of respondents
are taken into account.
The results of this study suggest that school engagement can be a powerful resource
for prevention practice and the promotion of prosocial behavior, and that it would be
useful to plan interventions that promote active engagement of students in school.",
