| Abstract | There is increasing pressure to incorporate information technology into schools and increasing interest in evaluating the effects of this technology on students. There has been a growing literature on the assessment of the success of using information technology in schools. This study is timely and potentially valuable because it investigated psychosocial factors in the learning environment where laptop computers are used in the study of mathematics and science. The study combined qualitative and quantitative data collection methods (Tobin & Fraser, 1998) to describe and compare students' perceptions of the actual and preferred learning environments and to explore students' attitudes towards mathematics and science classrooms where laptop computers are used. It has been previously found that positive students' perceptions of their learning environment are linked with their attitude toward and achievement in mathematics and science (Fraser, 1994, 1998). Of particular interest in our study were the differences between male and female students and between subject disciplines of mathematics and science. Because there has been little research reported on the effect of using laptop computers on students' perceptions of their learning environments, this study pioneered the use and validation of a learning environment instrument in laptop schools in Canada.
