A sense of school belonging is an important psychological trait that affects on other components of schooling. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of group gestalt therapy on the sense of school belonging in tenth grade students in District 4 of Tehran. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with control group and follow-up test. The statistical population included 10th grade male students in Tehran's 4th district in 2018-19. The final subjects(n=17) were randomly assigned to experimental (n = 9) and control (n = 8) groups. The experimental group underwent 8 sessins of group gestalt therapy and the control group did not receive any intervention. Then, after the test and also after 3 months, follow-up test was received from both groups and the results were compared with each other. The results of analysis of covariance showed that in general, the sense of scjool belonging in the experimental group is more than the control group (P = 0.001 and F = 19.08). Also, the effectiveness of the intervention was stable after 3 months (P = 0.001 and F = 46.72). Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that group gestalt therapy is effective in increasing the sense of school belonging of tenth grade male students and this effect has a significant stability; Therefore, this intervention method can be used to improve the sense of school belonging in tenth grade students.

The descriptive- correlation method was used. The statistical population consists of all the male students of high school Rey city in year academic 2017-2018 to 4000 male students. According to cluster sampling method, 350 male students were selected as samples and they were asked to fill in self-handicapping scale of Jones and Rhodewalt (1982), academic engagement scale of Fredricks, Blumenfeld and Paris (2004) quality of school life scale of Williams and Baten (1981) and measuring students’ sense of connectedness with school of Brew, Beatty and Watt (2004), and. The data were analyzed by tests of Pearson correlation and multivariate regression. Findings showed that there was a negative and significant correlation between academic engagement, quality of school life and sense of belonging to school with academic procrastination students (P<0/01). Regression analyses also revealed that 27/4 of variance of self-handicapping behaviors was explained by academic engagement, quality of school life and sense of belonging to school. This study confirmed the significant contribution of academic engagement, quality of school life and sense of belonging to school on self-handicapping behaviors of students.
