abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a new learning environment
instrument used to measure the physical learning environment in secondary school’s
classroom in Malaysia. The Physical Classroom Learning Environment Instrument
(PCLEI) was developed by using a three stages approach, field-tested with 900
students and then validated. The PLCEI has 66 items allocated to six constructs: (1)
furniture; (2) facilities; (3) space; (4) lighting; (5) air quality; (6) color. Each
construct has a factor loading at least 0.40 and alpha reliability coefficient for
constructs ranged from 0.83 to 0.98. The instrument will inform us on existing
physical learning environment in secondary school’s classroom. Further effective
way can be planned to overcome the existing gaps.
