Schulbezogen

Schulbezogen is a German adjective meaning "school-related." It describes factors, observations, or phenomena that originate in the school setting and are connected to how schools operate, rather than to family, neighborhood, or individual traits. The word is formed from Schule (school) and bezogen (related), a productive compound in German.

In research, policy, and practice, schulbezogen is used to classify variables or considerations that pertain to the school context. Examples include schulbezogene Faktoren (school-related factors), schulische Rahmenbedingungen (school-related conditions), and schulbezogene Leistungsindikatoren (school-related performance indicators). In English-language summaries, the term is typically rendered as "school-related" or "school-based."

Schulbezogen usage helps analysts separate school-centered influences from extramural ones when examining outcomes such as achievement, attendance, behavior, and engagement. It is commonly contrasted with terms like außerschulisch (extracurricular) or familiär (family-related). While most frequently found in German-language educational literature, the concept also appears in comparative and translation studies to clarify the scope of school-based analyses.
