In this study, students’ perceptions of the classroom learning environment in Arab elementary schools were investigated. The
sample included 261 students from Grades 5 and 6. The questionnaire was developed at an Arab college of teacher education
by 16 fourth-year student teachers who were completing their studies toward a BEd degree. Articles on classroom learning environment
were distributed to the students, who then wrote items to assess learning environment. The items were evaluated for content
validity in relation to the Arab school culture, language, teachers’ teaching, students’ learning styles, teacher–student
relations, order and organisation, discipline and behaviours. The Classroom Learning Environment of Elementary Students (CLEES)
questionnaire consists of 32 items in four scales: Teacher’s Image, Group Work, Students’ Participation, and Order and Organisation.
The CLEES was used in a pilot study in two Grade 5 and 6 classes in order to validate it. The student teachers administered
the questionnaire to students in elementary schools. Data were analysed using SPSS (e.g. factor analysis and one-way ANOVA)
to validate the CLEES. No significant differences were found between boys and girls in classroom learning environment. However,
significant differences in CLEES perceptions were found between students from different grades (Grade 5 vs. Grade 6), age
groups and schools. The results are explained in the discussion section in relation to the characteristics of their schools. 相似文献

This paper describes an investigation in Korea of the extent to which a new general science curriculum, reflecting a constructivist view, has influenced the classroom learning environment in grade 10 science. The Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES) was selected for the investigation and translated into Korean. Other objectives of this study were to determine whether the Korean version of the CLES is valid and reliable, differences between students’ perceptions of their actual and preferred learning environment and associations between students’ perceptions of the constructivist learning environment and their attitude to science. The Korean‐language version of the CLES was found to be valid and reliable and grade 10 students did perceive a more constructivist learning environment than grade 11 students who had not been exposed to the new curriculum. This suggested that efforts of curriculum reform had produced some positive effects. Students tended to prefer a more positive environment than what was perceived to be present and statistically significant relationships were found between classroom environment and student attitudes. These relationships suggest that favourable student attitudes could be promoted in classes where students perceive more personal relevance, share control with their teachers and negotiate their learning. 相似文献

This study of perceptions of classroom environment is distinctive in that, first, it made use of two instruments (the Individualized Classroom Environment Questionnaire and Classroom Environment Scale) which have had very little use in prior science education research and, second, it involved assessment not only of student perceptions of actual environment, but also of student perceptions of preferred environments and teacher perceptions of actual environment. Administration of these instruments to a sample of 2175 junior high school students in 116 classes revealed that the environment scales exhibited satisfactory internal consistency reliability and discriminant validity in each of the three forms (student actual, student preferred, and teacher actual), and that there were some fascinating systematic differences between the profiles of environment scale scores obtained for the different forms. In particular, it was generally found that students preferred a more favorable classroom environment then was perceived as being actually present and that teachers perceived the environment of their classes more favorably than did students in the same classrooms. 相似文献

This study proposed a conceptual model of relationships among constructivist learning environment perception variables (Personal Relevance, Uncertainty, Critical Voice, Shared Control, and Student Negotiation), scientific epistemological belief variables (fixed and tentative), and learning approach. It was proposed that learning environment perceptions predict learning approach directly and indirectly through scientific epistemological beliefs. Constructivist Learning Environment Survey, Scientific Epistemological Beliefs, and Learning Approach Questionnaire were administered to 1152 Turkish eight grade elementary school students to measure constructivist learning environment perceptions, scientific epistemological beliefs, and learning approach, respectively. Path analysis supported the model in general, although not all proposed paths were significant. All constructivist learning environment perception variables were found to predict learning approach directly and indirectly through tentative beliefs. The relationship between fixed beliefs and learning approach was not significant. Fixed beliefs were significantly related only with personal relevance variable. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to modify and validate a new form of the College and University Classroom Environment Inventory
(CUCEI), and to then use it to compare students' actual and preferred perceptions of their classroom learning environments
at the senior secondary and teritary levels of education. The study also examined differences in perceptions according to
the student's gender. A sample of 504 students participated in the study. The reliabilities of the scales of the modified
CUCEI ranged from .73 to .94. When the two levels were compared, students at the higher education level had a less favourable
perception of their learning environment. Previous research was replicated in that females were found generally to perceive
their learning environments in a more positive way than did males and that all students generally preferred a more positive
learning environment in their classes. 相似文献

Classroom Environment Instruments: Development,Validity and Applications 总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11
Few fields of educational research have such a rich diversity of valid, economical and widely-applicable assessment instruments as does the field of learning environments. This article describes nine major questionnaires for assessing student perceptions of classroom psychosocial environment (the Learning Environment Inventory, Classroom Environment Scale, Individualised Classroom Environment Questionnaire, My Class Inventory, College and University Classroom Environment Inventory, Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction, Science Laboratory Environment Inventory, Constructivist Learning Environment Survey and What Is Happening In This Class) and reviews the application of these instruments in 12 lines of past research (focusing on associations between outcomes and environment, evaluating educational innovation, differences between student and teacher perceptions, whether students achieve better in their preferred environment, teachers' use of learning environment perceptions in guiding improvements in classrooms, combining quantitative and qualitative methods, links between different educational environments, cross-national studies, the transition from primary to high school, and incorporating educational environment ideas into school psychology, teacher education and teacher assessment). 相似文献

In order to investigate the learning environment of senior high school science laboratory classrooms in Korea, the Science
Laboratory Environment Inventory (SLEI) was translated into Korean and administered to 439 students (99 science-independent
stream students, 195 science-oriented stream students and 145 humanities stream students). Data analyses attested to the sound
factorial validity and internal consistency reliability of the SLEI, as well as its ability to differentiate between the perceptions
of students in different classrooms. Students in the science-independent stream generally perceived their science laboratory
classroom environment more favourably than did students in either the humanities or science-oriented stream. Associations
were found between various measures of students’ attitudes to science and their perceptions on SLEI scales; in particular,
as in past research in other countries, integration between theory and practical classes was a statistically significant predictor
of all attitude criteria when the other SLEI scales were mutually controlled. 相似文献

This paper reports a study of students’ and teachers’ perceptions of their classroom learning environment in Bhutanese eighth-grade mathematics classes. Research suggests that positive perceptions of the learning environment can have a positive influence on students’ learning outcomes, interest and engagement in classroom activities. The study was conducted in 2013, using the survey samples of 608 students and 98 teachers from 22 lower- and middle-secondary schools in western Bhutan. Students’ and teachers’ perceptions of the classroom environment were measured using the Mathematics Classroom Learning Environment Survey (MCLES). Students and teachers mostly perceived their classroom environments favourably on the MCLES scales irrespective of gender, school level and school location. The study is significant for understanding and evaluating the implementation of new mathematics curriculum in Bhutanese schools because it could guide the development of strategies for more-productive mathematics classroom learning. It is also significant from the perspective of Bhutan’s national goal of Gross National Happiness because perceptions and happiness always go hand-in-hand. 相似文献

Well-designed game-based learning can provide students with an innovative environment that may enhance students' motivation and engagement in learning and thus improve their learning performance. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among elementary school students' flow experience and learning performances. We also investigated the gender and grade differences as well as the types of potential clusters of flow experiences and performance. Thirty-four elementary school students participated in this study. This study conducted correction analysis, difference analysis and a two-stage cluster analysis. The findings suggested that the students with higher flow experiences tended to have higher learning performances. The results of gender differences showed that female students had high performance scores and great flow experiences in the mini-educational game in this study. Moreover, the results revealed that the students of higher grade had significantly higher scores in both performance and flow experience than the students of lower grade. The result of cluster analysis fell into three categories: low performance/low flow experience students, high flow experience students and high performance/high flow experience students. On the basis of our findings, we also proposed suggestions for future game-based learning research. 相似文献

This study reports the results of a research project conducted as part of high school teachers' efforts to bring about reform of science education in their school. Two classes of Grade 8 students (N = 43) taught by the same teacher were monitored in terms of students' perceptions of their learning environment, achievement levels, and conceptual understanding of research. Quantitative methods (questionnaire, tests and examinations, GPA) and qualitative methods (interviews, videotaped lessons, artifacts) were combined while the learning environment was changed to a student-centered open inquiry format. Not unexpectedly, relationships between the Autonomy and Student-Centeredness scales of the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES) and immediate (unit test) and delays post-tests (examination subsection) were detected. On the other hand, although student-student interactions in small-groups and whole-class sessions were a significant part of the learning environment, the Negotiation scale was not related to achievement. Three case studies of representative students (in terms of achievement and perceptions of the learning environment) are featured, further underscoring the importance of monitoring reform of teaching at the classroom level. 相似文献

This study describes the development and validation of a Greek-language instrument that can be used to assess grade 10 students'
perceptions of their chemistry classroom environment as a means of showing differences between chemistry learning environments
in Greece (Attica) and Cyprus. The development of the instrument was based on available learning environment questionnaires.
The questionnaire was administered to 1,394 students from 49 chemistry classes in Attica, and the resulting data were analyzed
to explore the reliability and the validity of the new instrument. The validated questionnaire was administered to 225 students
from 15 classes in urban areas of Cyprus. The data analyses supported the questionnaire's internal consistency, discriminant
validity, and ability to differentiate between classrooms. Effect sizes and independent samples t test analyses revealed differences between the two samples. Cypriot students viewed their chemistry classroom environment
more favorably than did the Attica students. A possible cause for this difference could be the knowledge-centered aspect of
the grade 10 chemistry curriculum in Greece compared to the corresponding tool-instrumental knowledge curriculum in Cyprus. 相似文献

The Science Laboratory Environment Inventory (SLEI) is a recently developed classroom environment instrument for assessing students' or teachers' perceptions of their science laboratory classroom environment. This paper describes its development and reports on the validation and application of its modified form, the Chemistry Laboratory Environment Inventory (CLEI), with a Singapore secondary school sample. The sample consisted of 1 592 final-year secondary school (i.e. tenth grade) chemistry students from 56 intact classes from 28 randomly selected co-educational government secondary schools in Singapore. Various item and factor analyses supported the reliability and validity of the instrument for assessing students' perceptions of their chemistry laboratory environment specifically in Singapore. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to examine the tendency for the development of self-regulated learning according to grade level.
As a means to this end, competing causal models for each grade were set up, and through validity tests for the causal models
the most fitting self-regulated learning model for South Korea students could be arrived at. Based on the conceptual model
of self-regulated learning proposed by Pintrich (1989), Pintrich and De Groot (1990), and Zimmerman (1989, 1990), which focus
on the relationship between motivation and cognition, three causal models were set up. According to the results of a structural
analysis for 1,865 elementary, middle and high school students, model П which structures intrinsic value as an exogenous variable,
was determined the best-fitting model. In addition, the 30% variance in the 5th grade elementary school students and 32% and
18% variance in middle school and high school students respectively are explained by the test model. 相似文献

The aims of the study were to investigate (a) the relationship between the attitudes toward biology and perceptions of the
biology learning environment among grade 11 students in Tulkarm District, Palestine and (b) the effect of gender and residence
of these students on their attitudes toward biology and on their perceptions of the biology learning environment. The study
used a 30-item Attitudes Toward Biology Questionnaire and a 32-item Learning Environment Questionnaire. The association between
attitudes toward biology and the biology learning environment were significant, with a correlation coefficient of 0.366. The
results of the study indicated that there were significant gender differences in attitudes toward biology and in perceptions
of the learning environment, favoring females; however, there were no significant residence differences in attitudes toward
biology and in perceptions of the learning environment. 相似文献

An investigation of relationships between students’ attitudes towards chemistry and their perceived laboratory environments was carried out using a sample of 1592 final year secondary school students in 56 chemistry classes in 28 randomly selected co‐educational government schools. This study is distinctive in that it marks the beginning of science classroom environment research in Singapore and because it pioneers the use of the Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM) in learning environment research. The Chemistry Laboratory Environment Inventory (CLEI), a modified version of the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory, was used to assess students’ perceptions of the learning environment in chemistry laboratory classes. Students’ chemistry‐related attitudes were assessed using the Questionnaire on Chemistry‐related Attitudes (QOCRA), which is based on the Test of Science‐related Attitudes. Environment‐attitude relationships were examined using conventional multiple regression analysis and the more rigorous HLM. Positive associations emerged between the nature of the chemistry laboratory classroom environment and the students’ attitudinal outcomes 相似文献

This research investigated relationships among characteristics of students and learning environments influencing variables related to motivation for learning and achievement in rural high schools. Participants were 625 students in all four grades, in 19 rural, public high schools. Questionnaires assessed two environmental factors, three self-perceptual characteristics, two motivational outcomes and three achievement-related outcomes. Regression analyses were utilized to identify differential predictive relationships. Overall, teacher characteristics appeared to more strongly predict students' positive self-perceptions and motivation than did peer characteristics. Perceived ability and valuing most strongly predicted learning and future goals, which, in turn, most strongly predicted motivation. Motivational outcomes strongly predicted grade in class, but not intention to complete high school or postsecondary aspirations. Important differences emerged by subject area. Implications for research and classroom practice are discussed. 相似文献

This study involved three phases. First, we developed and validated the Elementary and Middle School Inventory of Classroom
Environments (ICE) for assessing upper primary and middle school (Grades 6–8) students' perceived and preferred classroom
environment. Second, typical classroom environments in an urban setting were described based on quantitative and qualitative
data, including differences between the perceptions of students of different genders. Finally, teachers' participation in
action research techniques, involving the use of feedback on perceived and preferred classroom environment, was evaluated
in terms of effectiveness in promoting improvement in classroom environments.
The sample consisted of ten middle grade teachers and their 43 classes of students in an urban North Texas school setting.
Perceived and preferred forms of the ICE, assessing Cooperation, Teacher Empathy, Involvement and Task Orientation, were administered.
Factor and item analyses supported the internal consistency reliability of a four-factor version of the perceived and preferred
forms of the ICE for both the individual student and the class mean as the units of analysis. The perceived and preferred
environments of different classes are described based on profiles of classroom environment scores. When teachers were selected
from the original sample to participate in an attempt to alter their classroom environments, changes in classroom climate
occurred, thus supporting the efficacy of the environmental change strategy.

This study examined the relationship of school ethical climate and students' school performance within the context of a Chinese high school. Gender and grade‐level differences in ethical climate perceptions were also explored. Survey data on perceptions of school ethical climate based upon the dimensions of student‐to‐teacher, student‐to‐student and teacher‐to‐student interactions and relationships were obtained from 754 students. Results of the study showed that students' perceptions of their high school's ethical climate were related to academic achievement, gender and grade level. Students' involvement in extracurricular activities and student leadership generally did not seem to relate to their perceptions of ethical climate. Based upon these findings, the school's moral education intervention programs should increase their focus on the area of teacher‐to‐student relationships and interactions and the subgroups of male students, students in higher grades and students with lower academic achievement. Implications for future research on school climate are also discussed. 相似文献

In education, conceptual work on resilience has recently gained recognition as an important framework from which we can understand why some students become successful in school, whereas similar students from the same disadvantaged family backgrounds and neighborhoods have not been successful in school. The purpose of this study was to compare the classroom instruction and learning environment of resilient and nonresilient students in elementary schools consisting of predominantly minority students. The participants were 4th- and 5th-grade students and their teachers. Near the end of the school year, all the 4th- and 5th-grade students from 3 elementary schools located in a major metropolitan area in the south central region of the United States completed the My Class learning environment survey. Trained observers also systematically observed the resilient and nonresilient students identified by teachers during regular reading classes, language classes, or both. The results from this study indicate that resilient elementary school students perceive a more positive instructional learning environment and they are more satisfied with their reading and language arts classrooms than nonresilient students. In addition, nonresilient students indicated that they have more difficulty in their classwork than both average students and resilient students. The observational results revealed that resilient students spent significantly more time interacting with teachers for instructional purposes, whereas nonresilient students spent more time interacting with other students for social or personal purposes. Resilient students were also observed watching or listening significantly more often than nonresilient students, whereas nonresilient students were observed more often not attending to task. The percentage of time that resilient students were on task was much higher than that for nonresilient students. 相似文献
