Description of the Learning Environment Scale (LES)
The instrument was made by the researcher to assess the environment in
high school chemistry classroom
(Appendix
A). All the items were based on class observation, and on
interview responses of 170 students and 34 teachers from 34 classes in
10 secondary schools in Quezon City. About nine items are similar to
those contained in the Classroom Environment Scale (CEQ) by Fraser
(1986). The items were constructed based on their relevance and
applicability to the Filipino chemistry classroom setting.
The Filipino LES, unlike the foreign instruments, includes the
laboratory classroom setting. It consists of 76 items assessing each of
the following 16 scales: Participation, Involvement,
Friendliness, Satisfaction, Teacher Support,
Fairness, Task Orientation, Competition,
Time Allotment, Comprehension, Integration,
Order and Organization, Rule
Clarity, Discipline, Physical
Environment, and Innovation.
Each item is responded to on a 3-point scale with the alternatives True,
True Sometimes, and Not True.
These are Likert-type scales where alternatives are assigned values of 3,
2, and 1,
respectively, for positive statements. The scoring is reversed for
responses to the negative statements, which constitute half of the
items. The instrument was administered to the 720 students for 25
minutes.
