Abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate Korean high school students' perceptions about their science classrooms, focusing especially on the notions of constructivism. This study is one of the few, which has used the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES) in an Asian country. The study involved 439 high school students from 3 different streams, 145 from the humanity stream, 195 from the science-oriented stream, and 99 from the science-independent stream. The validity and reliability of the CLES were confirmed when used with Korean students. Associations between classroom environments and student attitudes were found. When the perceptions of students from the three streams were compared, it was found that students from the science-independent stream perceived their classroom environments more favorably than did students in the other two streams. Interviews with students revealed that students interpreted items in the Critical Voice and Shared Control scales of the CLES in ways that were not intended by the researcher.
