Abstract :
The objective of the current study was to determine the mediating role of academic hope in the relationship between the perception of the classroom environment with boredom and academic incivility in students. The participants included 600 second grade students (308 boys, 292 girls) of Khorrambid city in the academic year of 2023-2024, who were selected by random cluster sampling method, and What Is Happening in This Class Questionnaire (Fraser, Fisher & McRobbies, 1996), the Academic Hope Scale (Khormai & Kemari, 2018), the Academic Boredom Scale (Pekran, Goetz & Perry, 2005) and the Scale of Child and Youth Classroom Incivility (Spadafora & Volk, 2021) answered. The results indicated the significance of the direct effect of the perception of the classroom environment on hope, boredom and academic incivility. The indirect effects of the perception of the classroom environment with the mediating role of academic hope on boredom and academic incivility were also significant. Based on this, it can be concluded that in order to reduce the boredom and academic incivility of students, attention should be paid to the academic hope resulting from their proper perception of the classroom.
