Abstract :
The aim of the study was to examine the mediating role of self-perception (school identification & perceived control) in the relationship between perception of classroom environment and academic avoidance. Method of this research was descriptive and correlation type. This research population are all Tehran city students in tenth grade. Participants consisted of 661 students that were selected among tenth grades Tehran high school and art school students using multi-stage cluster random sampling and answered to perception of classroom environment questionnaire (Frasser and collogues, 1996) self-perception scale (Fall and Roberts, 2012) and academic avoidance scale (Khormaiee, 1393). Data analyzed with structural squared modeling by Amos software. Result showed that perception of classroom environment effect on self-perception (school identification, self-control) was significantly positive and on academic avoidance was significantly negative. Conclusion also showed increasing student’s perception of classroom environment can enhance their academic avoidance with creating school identification and perceived control in them. Thus, designing proper educational environment and teaching educational personnel for enhancing self-perception of students to preventing of negative educational outcomes, seems necessary.
