Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship between criteria established for an effective science learning environment as perceived by students and their attitude toward the study of science. Specifically, the answers to the following questions were sought:
(1) Which of the classroom environment criteria are significantly related to student attitudes at each grade level (2 through 12) and each level of schooling (elementary - grades 2-5, middle - grades 6-8, and secondary - grades 9-12)?
(2) Which set of classroom environment criteria can be used to predict attitudes toward the study of science at each grade level and level of schooling?
