Abstract

MATOS, Daniel Abud Seabra; CIRINO, Sérgio Dias  and  LEITE, Walter Lana. Instruments for the evaluation of classroom learning environment: a literature review. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2008, vol.10, n.1, pp.117-130. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172008100109.

In the last thirty years, international research on classroom learning environment has moved towards the development and use of instruments based on the students' perspective. According to Dorman (2002), most of this research has been conducted in the United States and Australia. Fraser (2002) indicates that research about classroom learning environments most commonly focus on: associations between student outcomes and the learning environment, evaluation of educational innovations, differences between teachers' and students' perceptions of the same classroom, determinants of classroom learning environment, utilization of qualitative methods, and cross-cultural studies. The literature review presented here demonstrates the richness of the research that has been accomplished about classroom learning environment, and indicates that this area of research is continuously evolving.
