The actual and preferred students' perception of classroom learning environment was measured using a modified Hebrew version of the Learning Environment Inventory (LEI). This (validated and analyzed for reliability) was given to chemistry (N=1080) and biology (N=400) students. Results and implications are discussed. (Author/JN)

Administration of a modified Learning Environment Inventory (LEI) to 27 high school classes (science and nonscience) on three separate occasions indicated that student perception of classroom environment as measured by the LEI is consistent over time. (MLH)

Describes modifications of the Learning Environment Inventory (LEI) instrument for measuring classroom climate to make it suitable for individualized junior high school classrooms. Reports validation data from a sample of seventh graders. (SL)

Examines the question of the role of laboratory work in influencing Israeli students' perceptions of their chemistry laboratory learning environment. Compares responses on a learning environment inventory of two groups of students, high school students and students enrolled in vocational schools to become future laboratory technicians. (CS)

The Learning Environment Inventory (LEI) was administered to tenth-grade biology classes (N=572) in urban and kibbutz district schools in Israel. Findings indicated that seven out of nine scales of the LEI yield significant differences in scores for urban and kibbutz samples indicating a more positive learning climate in the kibbutz.
