چکیده
به منظور کنکاش در قلمرو فرهنگ مدرسه و بررسی جوّ روانی- اجتماعی کلاس به عنوان یکی از مؤلفه‌های آن، 415 دانش‌آموز اول تا سوم راهنمایی (217 پسر و 198 دختر) پرسشنامه جوّ روانی- اجتماعی کلاس (فرایزر و همکاران، 1995) را تکمیل کردند. این مقیاس مشتمل بر چهار مقیاس فرعی انسجام، انضباط، رقابت، و اصطکاک می‌باشد. نمره کلی دختران در این پرسشنامه، به طور معنی داری بیش از پسران بود. تعامل جنسیت و پایه تحصیلی، تأثیر معنی داری بر نمره جوّ کلاسی نداشت. بررسی بیشتر نشان داد انسجام در دانش‌آموزان کلاس اول راهنمایی بیش از دانش‌آموزان کلاس سوم است. و بین سایر گروهها تفاوت معنی داری مشاهده نشد. در دو مقیاس فرعی رقابت و اصطکاک، نمره‌های پسران بیشتر بود، در حالی که نمره‌های دختران در دو مقیاس فرعی انسجام و انضباط بیش از پسران بود. یافته‌های این پژوهش در پرتو روند پژوهشی مربوطه به بحث گذاشته شده‌اند و پیشنهادهایی برای پژوهش بیشتر مطرح شده است.

چکیده [English]
In order to investigate school culture and classroom psychosocial climate as one of its components, Classroom Psychosocial Climate Questionnaire (Fraser et al, 1995) was administered to 415 (217 male and 198 female) junior high school students. The scale consisted of four subscales, including friction, cohesion, task-orientation, and competition. The results showed that the total scores of female participants’ on the scale were significantly higher than males. There was no significant interaction between students’ gender and grade level in terms of their total scores. Classes with first graders were more coherent than third graders, and there was no significant difference between other grade levels. While, in competition and friction subscales, boys scored higher than girls, in cohesion and task- orientation subscales the difference was reversed. In the final section of the article, findings are disscussed in the light of related literature and suggestions for further research are set forth.
