Description
Summary:Nearly last two decades, constructivist theory has had a great importance in shaping science learning environments. Learning theories have been implemented in different instructional models in learning environments. Measuring learning environments has been found to be sensitive and related to instructional methods, and they can be used in order to improve teaching in certain scientific subjects taught in schools. The purpose of this study is to develop and use a survey according to a constructivist 5E model to assess related factors effecting the physics learning environments. Interviews and classroom observations are used to confirm the constructed survey.
