| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to modify and validate a new form of the College and University Classroom Environment Inventory
(CUCEI), and to then use it to compare students' actual and preferred perceptions of their classroom learning environments
at the senior secondary and teritary levels of education. The study also examined differences in perceptions according to
the student's gender. A sample of 504 students participated in the study. The reliabilities of the scales of the modified
CUCEI ranged from .73 to .94. When the two levels were compared, students at the higher education level had a less favourable
perception of their learning environment. Previous research was replicated in that females were found generally to perceive
their learning environments in a more positive way than did males and that all students generally preferred a more positive
learning environment in their classes. |
