โฆ Synopsis
Comparisons were made between teacher and pupil perceptions of eight facets of the mathematics classroom environment: difficulty, speed, inquiry, diversity, satisfaction, competitiveness, formafity, and goal-direction. Questionnaires measuring classroom environment were administered in 60 junior high school mathematics classes to 1338 pupils and their teachers. Teacher perceptions tended to differ from pupil perceptions although not always in the hypothesized direction. Teacher gender and pupil sex ratio were somewhat related to teacher-pupil differences, while grade level and ability level were less consistently associated with differences.
