Abstract

The aim of study was to survey the relationship between learning climate in school, with the level of aggression in female high school students of Mashhad. It was a descriptive correlative method. The statistical population included the high-school girl students in Mashhad during the 2011- 2012 academic years. The sample was comprised of 405 high-school students in the educational districts 5 and 6 of Mashhad who were chosen through multistage cluster sampling method. In order to collect data, the LCQ Learning Climate scale and the APRI aggression scale were utilized Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, parsons’ correlation coefficient, simple regression, t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between the learning environment and aggression. Also the regression analyses showed that we could predict student’s aggression scale on the basis of their learning environment scale. Significant differences were noticed in the mean scores of second grade and third grade students and among the students studying in different fields (mathematics Science and Humanities). These findings indicated that students’ incompatibility and aggression were somewhat affected by negative climate of the classroom and learning environment.
