In the present study, we re-\r\nport on a self-evaluation of the Laborschule Bielefeld (LS; Germany) covering\r\n­ SoBaS. LS is an inclusive experimental comprehensive school with more than for-\r\nty years of experience concerning a non-segregative and diversity-friendly school\r\nculture. Based on propensity score matching, the study investigated whether the\r\nSoBaS scores of the students at this inclusive experimental school (N= 115) differ\r\nfrom the students visiting inclusive classes in regular state-run comprehensive\r\nschools (N= 2376). Furthermore, we examined the factors in the students’ educa-\r\ntional environment at LS that may potentially influence their SoBaS. The results\r\nindicate that the students attending the LS experienced a higher SoBaS. In additi-\r\non, certain aspects of LS's teaching and interaction culture were identified as aus-\r\npicious factors for accomplishing high levels of students’ SoBaS."}],"date_created":"2026-07-14T08:12:06Z","type":"journal_article","keyword":["sense of belonging","inclusive education","secondary school","social-emotional needs"],"department":[{"_id":"556"}],"year":"2023","title":"Sense of Belonging at School as a quality measure of inclusion – Comparing the inclusive experimental school Laborschule Bielefeld with regular inclusive comprehensive schools and investigating the determining factors","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1866-6671"]},"author":[{"first_name":"Rabea","last_name":"Marker","full_name":"Marker, Rabea"},{"id":"77972","full_name":"Kullmann, Harry","orcid":"0000-0001-5488-5105","last_name":"Kullmann","first_name":"Harry"},{"first_name":"Dominik","last_name":"Zentarra","full_name":"Zentarra, Dominik"},{"full_name":"Geist, Sabine","last_name":"Geist","first_name":"Sabine"},{"first_name":"Birgit","last_name":"Lütje-Klose","full_name":"Lütje-Klose, Birgit"}],"publication_status":"published","date_updated":"2026-08-22T12:07:07Z","article_type":"original","intvolume":"        15","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://www.pedocs.de/volltexte/2025/32500/pdf/JERO_2023_2_Marker_et_al_Sense_of_Belonging.pdf","open_access":"1"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.31244/jero.2023.02.06","citation":{"mla":"Marker, Rabea, et al. “Sense of Belonging at School as a Quality Measure of Inclusion – Comparing the Inclusive Experimental School Laborschule Bielefeld with Regular Inclusive Comprehensive Schools and Investigating the Determining Factors.” <i>Journal for Educational Research Online</i>, vol. 15, no. 2, Waxmann, 2023, pp. 250–73, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.31244/jero.2023.02.06\">10.31244/jero.2023.02.06</a>.","ama":"Marker R, Kullmann H, Zentarra D, Geist S, Lütje-Klose B.
