Abstract

This study explores how the course climate in university courses relates to other adaptive outcomes from a student perspective. We found that students' perceptions of the course climate were positively associated with subjective factors., such as emotional intelligence., their academic and social integration., and cooperation with peers. Differences in students' perceptions of the course climate also emerged depending on structural variables, including opportunities to cooperate., cooperation forms, and field of study (STEM vs. non-STEM). The findings highlight the multiple benefits of a positive course climate for students' adaptive academic and social outcomes.
