Orhan, Ali; Çeviker Ay, Sule – Learning Environments Research, 2023
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of critical thinking (CT) teaching involving general, immersion, and mixed approaches on the CT skills and dispositions of high-school students. The study, which had three experimental groups (EG) and one control group, employed a pretest--posttest control-group quasi-experimental design. CT…

Taylor, Simon Peter – Learning Environments Research, 2023
In this article, I report a two-year study of working closely with science teachers and examining perceptions of Year 9 (12-13 year olds) students in 13 New Zealand secondary schools. The Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES) was used. The questionnaire was administered to 327 students in the first year and 362 students in the second…

Meerts-Brandsma, Lisa; Riley, Michael; Sibthorp, Jim – Learning Environments Research, 2023
Semester schools provide high-school students with a relatively new type of learning environment that largely has not been empirically studied. This study used a retrospective survey (n = 797) to explore the learning outcomes that stem from semester schools and identify features within the educational environment that promote them. Participants…

Rogers, Joanne R.; Fraser, Barry J. – Learning Environments Research, 2023
In this study of 431 Grade 9 and 10 students, we investigated gender and frequency of practical work as determinants of science students' perceptions of their learning environment and attitudes. We assessed classroom environment with the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory (SLEI) and attitudes with the Students' Adaptive Learning Engagement…

Klosterman, Peter; Stein, Stephen – Learning Environments Research, 2023
In light of rising college student debt, many states now offer multiple options for students to earn college credit while still in high school. Concurrent enrollment programs, which allow qualified high school teachers to teach college credit-bearing classes in the high school, are one such option. Because concurrent enrollment classes teach…

Beymer, Patrick N.; Robinson, Kristy A.; Naftzger, Neil; Schmidt, Jennifer A. – Learning Environments Research, 2023
Control-value theory suggests that students' control and value appraisals mediate the relation between contextual supports and student emotions in formal learning settings; however, this theory has not been tested in informal learning contexts. Understanding mechanisms for instructional support in informal learning contexts can inform the design…

Goulet, Julie; Morizot, Julien – Learning Environments Research, 2023
School climate is an essential ingredient of student well-being and academic success. Although it has been studied extensively, only a few well-validated instruments are available for the assessment of school climate. The aim of this study was to assess the factor validity and measurement invariance of the Socio-educational Environment…

Baumsteiger, Rachel; Hoffmann, Jessica D.; Castillo-Gualda, Ruth; Brackett, Marc A. – Learning Environments Research, 2022
We investigated the impact of RULER--an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning--on school climate. Students and teachers from 37 Mexican high schools completed measures of school climate and school satisfaction before, one year into, and two years into RULER implementation. There were significant improvements in multiple…

Sattler, David N.; Gruman, Diana H.; Enkhtur, Oyundelger; Muskavage, Brett; Bishkhorloo, Boldsuren – Learning Environments Research, 2022
School climate measures are important tools that assist educators in evaluating the "norms, values, and expectations that support people feeling socially, emotionally and physically safe" (National School Climate Council, 2007, p. 4). Positive school climate is associated with academic performance indicators such as grade point average,…

Larry, Triaka; Wendt, Jillian L. – Learning Environments Research, 2022
We examined the predictive relationship between high school students' gender, ethnicity, science self-efficacy as measured by the Science Self-Efficacy Questionnaire composite score, teacher interpersonal behaviors (TIP) as measured by the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) scale scores, and science grade point average in an urban Title I…

Measure of Opportunity: Assessing Equitable Conditions to Learn Twenty-First Century Thinking Skills
Anderson, Ross C.; Beach, Paul – Learning Environments Research, 2022
Many school change efforts aim to foster conditions for the development of students' twenty-first century skills in an equitable and comprehensive way, but methods to measure the frequency and quality of opportunities that students receive in school are lacking. In this study, we describe the design, testing, and initial evaluation of a…

Glassner, Amnon – Learning Environments Research, 2022
This article shows how the self-determined learning environment in "Paths," an innovative teacher-education (TE) program, enables students to experience meaningful learning which reinforces their mental wellbeing and resilience. According to the self-determination theory (SDT), a central goal of such a learning environment is to support…

Subiantoro, Agung W.; Treagust, David F. – Learning Environments Research, 2021
In this research, we developed and validate an instrument for assessing high-school students' perceptions of socio-scientific issues (SSI)-based learning in biology. The development of the instrument was carried out using the following four steps: item formulation, content validation, construct validation and reliability calculation. According to…

Public School Teachers' Perceptions of What Promotes or Hinders Their Use of Outdoor Learning Spaces
Dring, Colin C.; Lee, Sandy Y. H.; Rideout, Candice A. – Learning Environments Research, 2020
The creation of outdoor learning spaces (OLS) such as school gardens is increasing in frequency in elementary and secondary schools in Canada. Previous research has indicated that students benefit from learning in OLS, but little is known about teachers' perceptions of their experiences using school gardens or other OLS. Given that teacher buy-in…

MacMahon, Stephanie; Carroll, Annemaree; Gillies, Robyn M. – Learning Environments Research, 2020
Student achievement and engagement are both influenced by the quality of the learning environment. Effective learning environments are characterised by high levels of engagement and interpersonal connection. When learners share a sense of connection to one another and the learning experience, they are said to be experiencing social synchrony, an…
