Abstract

Education evaluation should be based on students’ viewpoints and interest. Based on that, the research was aimed to determine the importance of purpose oriented study and ability to show empathy to the school well- being. The proposed hypothesis was there is positive correlation between purpose-oriented study and ability to show empathy to the school well-being. The study involved 123 senior high school students based on simple random sampling method. Data were collected using the School Well-being Scale (20 items, α = .81), the Purpose-Oriented Study Scale (20 items; α = .77) and the Empathy Scale (24 items; α = .79). Regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The result shows that there is a significant and positive correlation betweenpurpose-oriented study and ability to show empathy to the school well-being (r = .364; p < .001). It emphasizes the importance of using tolerated interactional teaching-learning process so that the students will be able to obtain learning meanings that are attached to the school environment.
