| Summary: | The present study sought to define resilient students’ profile in comparison with low achieving/low SES
students. To this end, several school- and teacher-related variables, taken from PISA 2012 student
questionnaire, that were considered to be influential on students’ reading literacy were examined. A total
number of 28 items from 5 dimensions were selected. They are: Student-Teacher Relations (5 items), Sense of
Belonging (9 items), Attitude towards Learning at School (4 items), Attitude toward School (4 items), and
Perceived Control (6 items). Using binary logistic regression, significant variables were defined explaining
literacy differences between two groups of students. Then, profile of resilient students was defined. Results
indicated that resilient students had more positive attitudes towards school and teachers compared with low
achievers. The findings of the present may provide significant information as to increase rate of resilient
students.
