Direct linkFraser, Barry J.; McLure, Felicity I.; Koul, Rekha B. – Learning Environments Research, 2021
In an attempt to engage more students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, schools are encouraged by STEM educators and professionals to introduce students to STEM through projects which integrate skills from each of the STEM disciplines. Because little is known about the learning environment of STEM classrooms, we…

Houston, Linda Scott; Fraser, Barry J.; Ledbetter, Cynthia E. – Journal of Elementary Science Education, 2008
Student perceptions of classroom environment can provide useful criteria for evaluating educational alternatives. The My Class Inventory (MCI) was used with 588 3rd- to 5th-grade students in Texas in evaluating the effectiveness of instruction using a textbook, science kits, or a combination of both. Various analyses attested to the factorial…

Fraser, Barry J. – Evaluation in Education: An International Review Series, 1981
Research on three classroom environment instruments is discussed, including predictive validity studies and criterion validity studies. A heuristic model involving curriculum, aptitude, environment, and learning is used to conceptualize the variables' roles in curriculum evaluation research. Evidence suggests that curriculum influences classroom…

Aldridge, Jill M.; Laugksch, Rudiger C.; Fraser, Barry J. – Learning Environments Research, 2006
In this study, we developed and validated a questionnaire to assess teachers' perceptions of their actual and preferred school-level environment, investigated whether teachers involved with Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) perceive the school-level environment differently from those who are not, and investigated factors in the school-level…

Aldridge, Jill M.; Dorman, Jeffrey P.; Fraser, Barry J. – Australian Journal of Educational & Developmental Psychology, 2004
This paper describes the validation of actual and preferred forms of a new classroom environment instrument--the Technology-Rich Outcomes-Focused Learning Environment Inventory (TROFLEI)--using multitrait-multimethod modelling. The 80-item TROFLEI assesses 10 classroom environment dimensions: Student Cohesiveness, Teacher Support, Involvement,…

Peer reviewedFraser, Barry J. – Learning Environments Research, 1998
Describes nine questionnaires for assessing student perceptions of classroom psychosocial environment, and reviews their application in past research. Focuses on outcome; innovation; student/teacher perceptual differences; achievement; teacher use of perceptions; quantitative and qualitative methods; links between environments; cross-national…

Peer reviewedFraser, Barry J.; Treagust, David F. – Higher Education, 1986
The College and University Classroom Environment Inventory, a college seminar dynamics measurement instrument based on earlier research on assessment of elementary and secondary classroom environmental characteristics, is described. Its testing and initial applications in research on student outcomes and teacher and student preferences of…

Peer reviewedFraser, Barry J.; Griffiths, Alan K. – Canadian Journal of Education, 1992
The development and validation of a new instrument, the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory, for assessing student perceptions of psychosocial environment in science laboratory classrooms are described. Results with 3,727 high school students and 1,720 college students at 53 sites in 6 countries support the scale's validity. (SLD)

Nix, Rebekah K.; Fraser, Barry J.; Ledbetter, Cynthia E. – Learning Environments Research, 2005
This article reports the validity and use of a new form of the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES). As part of a larger study, a comparative student version (CLES-CS) was developed to evaluate the impact of an innovative teacher development program (based on the Integrated Science Learning Environment, ISLE, model) in school…
