| Abstract: | The study of learning environments has developed into a productive field of research in science education. Initially, the
design and application of classroom perceptual measures of particular dimensions of science classrooms attracted much attention.
More recently, such instruments have been used alongside of qualitative techniques to provide a richer understanding of sub-environments.
We continue this trend in the present interpretive study by exploring the nature of multiple environments within a middle
school classroom from the different perspectives of teacher, student and participant observer. In particular, we examine the
activity settings of lectures and group work, as well as the issues of learning and assessment. We conclude by arguing that
teachers need to adopt procedures that enable them to identify and plan for multiple environments. |
