Abstract


This research aims to analyze students’ classroom emotional climate towards science learning in junior high school. This research uses survey methods, which are included in quantitative research. The instrument was adapted from the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) and developed to measure classroom emotional climate based on student perspectives. It included open-ended question columns given to junior high school students in West Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The participants involved in this research were 80 students, divided into 32 male students and 48 female students aged 12 – 16 years. The research results explain that the classroom emotional climate of junior high school students in Bandung Regency is relatively high because these results are dominated by 43.75% of students. Likewise, the calculation results for each dimension. Meanwhile, other findings show no significant difference between the classroom emotional climate of male and female students in West Bandung Regency, dominated by classroom emotional climate in the high category, namely 56% for male students and 52% for female students. This research can be used to describe the classroom emotional climate of junior high school students in Indonesia.
