A Typology of Junior High and High School Classrooms

Moos, Rudolf H.

American Educational Research Journal, 15, 1, 53-66, W 78

Cluster analysis of nine dimensions of the social environments of 200 junior high and high school classrooms yielded five distinct types of classes: control oriented, innovation oriented, affiliation oriented, task oriented, and competition oriented. The clusters showed systematic differences in student satisfaction and mood, and in teacher satisfaction. (Author/GDC)
