Abstract

This study aim at assessing the learning environment in Teaching Science and Technology (TST) I course from learners’ perspectives. Firstly, 30 of the science logs collected from juniors who have already taken TST I course were selected and analyzed by means of content analysis. The findings yielded three themes which are compatible with the constructivist approach: the process, the instructor, and the learner. Secondly, the Constructivist Learning Environment Assessment Scale (Arkun & Askar, 2010) was administered to 148 juniors who have already taken TST I course. The results indicated that the learning environment in TST I course was also assessed as constructivist.
