Student Perception of Classroom Climate Scale: Adaptation and Validation in Turkish

Abstract

Classroom climate is a major contributor to student behavior and learning, and serves as an indicator of overall school performance. Currently, researchers examining classroom climate have a choice between two models of the Student Personal Perception of Classroom Climate (SPPCC) scale. International adoptationsof the SPPCC scale alternate between the four factor and the six factor dimensional. This research assesses the psychometric properties found in the SPPCC scale in a Turkish classroom context using the four factor model. Data analysis has been conducted on 3 different samples (425, 405, 502) from 12 different schools, whose students’ aged 10 to 15.

Keywords

• Classroom climate
• Model comparisons
