Research topic: Factors Influencing Student Wellbeing and Achievement of Refugees: A Mixed-Methods Study
This research investigates factors influencing the academic success of refugee children. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study begins with a literature review exploring the impact of school climate on refugee student wellbeing. Quantitative analysis, employing PISA and UNRWA data, compares educational achievement factors among Palestinian refugees in UNRWA and non-UNRWA settings, focusing on family support and school belonging. Qualitative interviews with UNRWA educators provide additional insights into student achievement and wellbeing. The combined findings aim to enhance the educational experiences of refugee children
