Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the classroom environment perceptions of pre-service teachers enrolled in different departments of a Faculty of Education and to investigate the relations among classroom environment perceptions of pre-service teachers and their course achievement. It was conducted in an education course in the fall semester of the academic year 2017-2018 at a state university. The study was designed according to survey research design and 277 pre-service teachers were chosen according to the convenience sampling method. The data were collected through the “Classroom Environment Perceptions Scale of Pre-Service Teachers (CEPSPT)” analyzed by using descriptive and inferential analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that the departments of pre-service teachers had a significant effect on the perceptions of the classroom environment. Pre-service teachers who enrolled in Classroom Teaching Department perceived classroom environment favorable than those who enrolled in other departments. Moreover, pre-service teachers who enrolled in Elementary School Mathematics Teaching Department perceived the difficulty property of the classroom environment at highest. Finally, several correlations were obtained among the dimensions of the classroom environment and also between the achievement scores of pre-service teachers and their classroom environment perceptions. The findings were discussed in detail concerning classroom environment literature.
