APA Dictionary of Psychology

a questionnaire consisting of 30 statements (e.g., “I help the teacher to assess my learning”) that students rate using a 5-point Likert scale format, ranging from almost never to almost always. It assesses the degree to which a particular classroom’s environment is consistent with a constructivist epistemology and helps teachers to reflect on their epistemological assumptions and reshape their teaching practice. [developed in the 1990s by Australian educators Peter Charles Taylor and Barry J. Fraser]
