Parent and student perceptions of classroom learning environment and its association with student outcomes (2007, methodology): “Furthermore, in a cross-national study involving 3,980 Australian, Canadian and British students, Dorman (2003) used confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling to confirm the WIHIC’s factor structure and to demonstrate that the same factor structure applied irrespective of coun”
Classroom environment, achievement, attitudes and self-esteem in geography and mathematics in Singapore (2009, background): “As well, in a cross-national study involving 3980 students in England, Canada and Australia (Dorman, 2003), confirmatory factor analysis supported the international validity of the WIHIC and showed that this factor structure was similar across countries, grade levels and student genders.”
