Abstract:
The articles presented in this thesis examined classroom working alliance and students' school-related outcomes. In Article 1, the association between student performance and perceptions of working alliance was explored among 53 elementary school children (28 male, 25 female). Evidence was found to support the predictive validity of the Classroom Working Alliance Inventory (CWAI) for student performance. Further, results revealed a complex interaction between the alliance components: task, bond, and goal. Article 2 investigated the relationship between school satisfaction and working alliance

The purpose of this project was to examine the perceptions of nursing students working with staff nurses during their clinical experiences. Based on this information, a resource for staff nurses was developed to assist them in mentoring students.

Nursing schools and faculty are charged with theoretical and clinical education of nursing students so they may enter into the nursing profession as competent and safe nurses.

Procrastination as problematic delay is a widely occurring phenomenon in modern society. It is particularly prevalent in academic settings where some students avoid or postpone their work in numerous ways. Over the last three decades, a substantial body of quantitative and some qualitative studies have been conducted, however, to date researchers are still unclear about what causes this problem and how it can be effectively helped. Working with procrastination is therefore considered an important issue for counselling psychologists, many of whom work in university student counselling services.
