The Impact of School Environment and Learning Anxiety on School Disaffection of Elementary School Students: Mediation and Moderation Analysis

This study aimed to find out how school environment and learning anxiety affect the dissatisfaction of elementary school students, as well as to look at the role of mediating and moderation factors in these relationships. We analyzed several elementary schools in the Cirebon area, West Java. The school environment includes the physical, social, and emotional conditions in the school that students feel on a daily basis. When this environment is unsupportive or uncomfortable, students tend to feel unhappy in school. On the other hand, study anxiety such as fear of failure, anxiety about exams, or academic stress can also exacerbate negative feelings towards school. This study used a mediated analysis approach to see if learning anxiety is a link between poor school environment and student dissatisfaction. In addition, moderation analysis is also used to find out whether certain factors strengthen or weaken the relationship. The results of the study show that learning anxiety does play a mediator, while several other factors can affect how strongly the school environment influences students' feelings. These findings are important for teachers and schools in creating a more supportive environment for students to feel more comfortable, safe, and satisfied during the learning process at school.
