A Cross-National Study of Secondary Science Classroom Environments in Australia and Indonesia (2010, background): “Despite this potential value, there appear to be very few past classroom environment studies that were conducted simultaneously in Australia and a neighbouring country in Southeast Asia (Aldridge and Fraser 2000).”
Relationship Between School and Classroom Environment and Teacher Burnout: A LISREL Analysis (2003, methodology): “Items were taken from scales of two contemporary classroom environment instruments, the What is Happening in this Classroom (Fraser, 1998a; Aldridge & Fraser, 2000 ) and the Catholic School Classroom Environment Questionnaire (Dorman, Fraser, & McRobbie, 1997; Dorman, 1999).”
LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS RESEARCH: YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW (2002, background): “Analysis of data from an Australian sample of 1081 students in 50 classes ( Aldridge & Fraser, 2000 ) led to a final form of the WIHIC containing the seven eight-item scales (Student Cohesiveness, Teacher Support, Involvement, Investigation, Task Orientation, Cooperation, Equity).”

Classroom environment, achievement, attitudes and self-esteem in geography and mathematics in Singapore (2009, background): “Other studies have supported the validity of the WIHIC in Australia and Taiwan (Aldridge & Fraser, 2000; Aldridge et al., 1999), Korea (Kim et al., 2000), Indonesia (Margianti et al., 2004), Canada (Zandvliet & Fraser, 2004, 2005) and the USA (Allen & Fraser, 2007; Martin-Dunlop & Fraser, 2008; Ogbu”
Learning Environment and its Association with Student Satisfaction Among Mathematics Students in Brunei Darussalam (2002, background): “A study in Taiwan went beyond past research in non-Western countries to involve a multimethod approach that emerged in the light of new findings ( Aldridge & Fraser, 2000; Aldridge, Fraser & Huang, 1999).”
Learning Environment and Attitudes Associated with an Innovative Science Course Designed for Prospective Elementary Teachers (2007, background): “Researchers have complemented their largescale questionnaire surveys with focused classroom observations and interviews in order to uncover rich, contextual understandings of learning environments and also cultural differences and similarities in the science learning environment between countries ( ”
Physical and Psychosocial Environments Associated with Networked Classrooms (2005, methodology): “The psychosocial environment in the study was assessed by administering five scales selected and adapted from a learning environment instrument entitled the What Is Happening In this Class? (WIHIC) questionnaire ( Aldridge & Fraser, 2000; Fraser, 1998a; Fraser & Chionh, 2000; Fraser et al., 1996).”
Teachers’ attitudes toward integration of students with disabilities in Haïti and the United States (2005, background): “According to Aldridge and Fraser (2000), cross-national studies are important because they might reveal differences in prevalence in disabilities, among others, which in turn may challenge researchers to re-examine the entrenched practices and theories that prevail in their own countries.”
Learning environment, attitudes and anxiety across the transition from primary to secondary school mathematics (2019, methodology): “A review of the literature shows that the WIHIC has demonstrated good validity and reliability in studies such as: Dorman (2003) with 3980 secondary mathematics students in Australia, Canada and Britain Dorman (2008) with 978 secondary students in Queensland, Australia Aldridge and Fraser (2000) ”
