Students’ and Teachers’ Perceptions of Psychosocial Classroom Environment of Secondary School Biology

摘要

The purpose of this paper was to determine if there would be any difference in perceptions of psychosocial classroom environment between biology students (grade 12) and their teachers. Individualized Classroom Environment Questionnaire (Actual) was administered on the students (n = 400) and their teachers (n = 50). Analysis of data through t-test for independent samples indicated that the teachers and their students did not differ in their perceptions. Similarly, neither the male nor the female students differed with their teachers in their perceptions. Implications of the result were discussed. Keywords: Psychosocial Environment, Biology, Classrooms, Perceptions.
