Abstract
Research on the level of social and academic adjustment and the
ties between both Syrian refugee students in Jordan is still insufficient due
to the lack of research and interest among academics and researchers. This
is happening even though the rise of refugees has impacted students from
the Syrian Refugee Education Center SREC in Jordan in the last five years.
Therefore, the current study examines the connection between social
adjustment and academic adjustment among Syrian refugee students in
SREC in Jordan. A total of 108 SREC-contained students from one school
were studied. The results of the study showed that social adjustment is poor
(52%) and academic adjustment is small (67 %). Furthermore, there is a
statistically important negative association (-0.522) between the overall
social adaptation and the total academic transition. In this report, the
findings, shortcomings, and recommendations were also addressed.
