Classroom climate and individual learning

Classroom climate and individual learning Tested the Getzels-Thelen theory of the classroom as a social system. From a new measure of student perception of classroom climate, 18 subscores were obtained from 2100 high school juniors and seniors. These scores were used to predict 9 cognitive, affective, and behavioral measures of learning at the end of the school yr. (regression-adjusted for initial differences). More than 4 times as many correlations as the chance expectancy were significant. Among the structural and affective climate measures, variables grouped under "isomorphism," "organization," and "synergism" predicted learning variables more frequently than "coaction" and "syntality."
