Citations in the corpus

• Student achievement and elementary teachers’ perceptions of school climate (2006, methodology): “Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, as well as internal consistency analysis (Johnson & Stevens, 2001), led to the use of a shortened version of the SLEQ, called the Revised SLEQ, with 35 items arranged in the five scales shown in Table 1.”
• A climate for self-efficacy: the relationship between school climate and teacher efficacy for inclusion (2016, background): “…variance in the conceptualisation and operationalisation of the constructs of school climate and teacher efficacy for inclusion must be noted, owing to the complexity of each construct (Cohen et al. 2009; Johnson and Stevens 2001; Tschannen-Moran and Hoy 2001; TschannenMoran, Hoy, and Hoy 1998).”
• Teachers' Perceptions of School Climate (2007, result): “Results associated with the SLEQ in a previous study (B. Johnson & Stevens, 2001) suggested the feasibility of a shortened, revised version of the SLEQ.”
• Cross-National Validation of the What is Happening in this Class? (WIHIC) Questionnaire using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (2003, methodology): “One notable exception was reported by Johnson and Stevens (2001) who successfully used CFA to examine the structure of the School-Level Environment Questionnaire.”
• Assessing students’ views of school climate: Developing and validating the What’s Happening In This School? (WHITS) questionnaire (2013, unknown): “…1986) which was later adapted by Docker, Fraser, and Fisher (1989) to describe teachers’ work environment, and the School-Level Environment Questionnaire (Aldridge, Laugksch, & Fraser, 2006; Fisher & Fraser, 1991; Huang & Fraser, 2009; Johnson & Stevens, 2001; Johnson, Stevens, & Zvoch, 2007).”
