Abstract
To identify the academic emotions level among students in basic education at Oman. The current researchers employed the descriptive approach by choosing study sample randomly, which consisted of 160 students. To collect data, the researcher used Academic Emotions Scale developed by Al-Dardir et al (2020), which consisted of 27 items. The findings indicated that the positive academic emotions level among basic education students was high (M=3.94), while the negative academic emotions level was moderate (M=2.93). In addition, the findings showed there are significant differences due to the sex variable in favor of females regarding positive academic emotions, while due to sex in favor of males regarding negative academic emotions. Furthermore, the findings indicated that there are no significant differences related to the grade level variable in terms of positive academic emotions. However, there were significant differences related to grade regarding negative academic emotions, favoring 11th-grade students. Additionally, differences were found between 10th- and 12th-grade students, with 10th-grade students showing higher levels of negative academic emotions. Finally, the findings indicated no significant differences related to the academic specialization in terms of positive academic emotions. However, significant differences were found in negative academic emotions, favoring students in the Art specialization.
