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,…

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…

Sirrakos, George, Jr.; Fraser, Barry J. – Learning Environments Research, 2017
This mixed-methods cross-national study investigated the effectiveness of reality pedagogy (an approach in which teachers become part of students' activities, practices and rituals) in terms of changes in student perceptions of their learning environment and attitudes towards science. A questionnaire was administered to 142 students in grades 8-10…

Winheller, Sandra; Hattie, John A.; Brown, Gavin T. L. – Learning Environments Research, 2013
This study used data from the Assessment Tools for Teaching and Learning project, which involved data on the academic performance of more than 90,000 New Zealand students in six subjects (i.e. reading, writing and mathematics in two languages). Two sub-samples of this dataset were included for detailed re-analysis to test the general applicability…

Rahm, Jrene; Ash, Doris – Learning Environments Research, 2008
In this article, we explore how two informal educational contexts--an aquarium and an after-school science program--enabled disenfranchised learners to adopt an identity as insiders to the world of science. We tell the stories of four youth, relating what doing science meant to them and how they positioned themselves in relation to science. We…

Johnson, Bruce; McClure, Robert – Learning Environments Research, 2004
The purpose of the study was to investigate the use of an existing instrument, the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES)(Taylor, Dawson & Fraser, 1995; Taylor, Fraser & Fisher, 1993, 1997), for providing insights into the classroom learning environments of beginning science teachers. In the first year of the study, the CLES was…
