Abstract
Academic enjoyment is an important educational construct given that it benefits students’ engagement, persistence, wellbeing, and mental health. In this study, we examine two factors that determine this crucial emotion, namely student- and class-level achievement. Past research has been restricted to single-country or single-domain examinations of secondary school students, limiting generalizability of findings. To bridge this gap, we utilize Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (TIMSS-PIRLS) 2011 data (N=180,084 4th-grade students, 37 countries). Our results provide robust evidence that student-level achievement positively predicts enjoyment in math, science, and reading, while the effects of class-level achievement is negative—the Happy-Fish-Little-Pond Effect. These results showed relative universality across the domains and countries examined.
