摘要:AbstractThe aim of this study is to explore the confirmatory factor analysis results of the Turkish adaptation of constructivist learning environment scale student version, developed by Aldridge, Fraser, Taylor & Chen (2000). The validity and reliability assessments of the scale were performed on 1094 students chosen randomly from primary schools in Eskişehir and İstanbul city centers. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out so that factor structures of the Turkish adaptation of Constructivist Learning Environment Scale could be determined. The results from the confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the Turkish adaptation of the original scale, comprising five factors and 30 items, actually consisted of 21 items. The five-factor structure of the original scale, on the other hand, remained the same.
