AB -  Since the late 196Os, a considerable amount of research effort has been devoted to the study of student perceptions of psychosocial aspects of the learning environment of science classrooms. A common feature of most of this research is that classroom environment has been measured almost exclusively with the fifteen-scale Learning Environment Inventory (LEI), which was designed for use at the high school level (Anderson, 197 1). Taken together, this series of studies has provided a large amount of consistent evidence which supports the reliability and validity of the LEI and its usefulness as a source of both predictor and criterion variables in science education research. About a decade ago, a shorter simplified five-scale instrument called the My Class Inventory (MCI) was adapted from the LEI for use with eight to twelve year old students (Anderson, 197 I ). In contrast to the LEI, however, adequate data about the MCI’s reliability and validity are still unavailable, while the number of studies which have used the MCI is very small. Apart from a couple of published articles (Talmage and Walberg, 1978; Talmage and Hart, 1975) and a handful of unpublished fugitive documents (Walberg and Anderson, 1968a; Cayne, 1970; Walberg, 1970;
