Two series of studies of social environments in high school physics demonstrated the validity of student perceptions of their classes in predicting cognitive, affective, and behavioral learning (see reviews by Rosenshine, 1970, and Walberg and Ahlgren, 1970). Recently Anderson, Walberg, and Welch (1969), using a true experimental design, showed that the environments of classes randomly assigned to different physics courses differed significantly. Also, Walberg and Ahlgren (1970), in correlational studies, found that the environment in high school can be predicted from cognitive and noncognitive pretests, student biographical characteristics, teacher experience, class size, and other variables. In a quasi-experiment, Walberg (1970) found that, whereas elementary school children bussed to suburban schools around Boston did not gain more than their siblings (who remained in city schools) on arithmetic and reading achievement, there were significant differences between the two groups on perceptions of their classes; for example, bussed children in grades 3 through 6 rated their classes more satisfying than their siblings did. The present study is an attempt to
