Abstract

This paper reports on students' perceptions of school's psychosocial environment in a public university in Ghana. Data was obtained with a modified Psychosocial School Environment Profile questionnaire, administered on 230 undergraduate communication design students. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and MANOVA. The findings revealed that students' general perception of their school's psychosocial environment was positive but significantly different across the academic levels. This suggests that further investigation in the academic and social adjustment experience is necessary if the ultimate goal of the study is to improve motivation and identify issues that may hinder student advancement within the academia.
