Abstract

Problems regarding absenteeism, school failure, disobedience and misbehaviour in the early years of secondary education are often associated with the drastic changes occurring in everyday’s life of students during the critical transition from primary to secondary school (Hargreaves, Earl, & Ryan, 1996; Howard & Johnson, 2004). The culture of primary school focuses on providing caring and hospitable environments, offering a sense of belonging and sustaining cohesion to collective young individuals. In contrast, secondary school culture is directed to teaching specific subjects and differentiation of students based upon academic achievement leading to the construction of fragmented and isolated experiences (Howard & Johnson, 2004).
