다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale and manual for measurement of junior and senior high school environment with high validity and reliability, and to analize the actual conditions of the environment of the sampled schools. The theoretical model adopted of our High School Environmental Assessment Scale was base on Newcome`s subcultural model and Barker`s behavior setting theory. Thus what we wanted to assess here was psychological environment as reflected in school climate and classroom atmosphere manifested by students` acitivities. Test items were constructed according to the dimension of intellectuality and subjectivity so that a given school environment might be categorized into the creative, intellectual, wild, and social. Following pretest, test items were finally selected and standardized on the schools sampled on a basis of area, sex, and corporate type (stratified sampling) across the nation. The size of the sample are 1073 junior high school boys, 1138 junior high girls, 1157 academic senior high school girls, 370 vocational senior high school boys and 365 vocational senior high school girls-a total of 5206 students. The following results were obtained from analytical study of the actual conditions of the sampled schools: (1) Junior high school As for area, the village girls` schools were significantly higher in the intellectual dimension. The boys` schools in big cities were higher in subjective dimension. As regards sex, the boys` schools in towns significantly higher in intellectual dimension. In terms of corporate type the private schools` were significatnly higer in both intellectual and subjective dimension than public ones. (2) Senior high school Across the country, girls` schools were significantly higher in intellectual dimension than boys` but no significant area difference was observed in intellectual and subjective dimension. The public schools were significantly higher in intellectual dimension, while private ones in subjective dimension. (3) Difference between junior and senior high schools Junior high schools were significantly higher in intellectual dimension, but no difference was seen in subjective dimension. The Manual of the standardized High School Environmental Assessment Scale is composed of the outline of the scale, methods of execution, evaluation, interpretation of the results, application and norms. The high School Environmental Assessment Scale affords information on the relationship between the characteristics of environment and students` activities by showing which on the four categories-creative, intellectual, wild, and social-a given school falls into, and information on the ways to improve school environment.
