Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the differences in the assessment of certain dimensions of actual and desirable class atmosphere made my primary school students.
Two questionnaires were used in the research: My classroom questionnaire (for fourth grade students) and Classroom environment questionnaire (for sixth grade students and eighth grade students). The research was carried out on a sample of 921 students (fourth graders, sixth graders and eighth graders) attending seven primary schools in Karlovac.
The results show that there is a statistically significant difference in the assessment of all dimensions of actual and desirable classroom atmosphere made by younger students (fourth graders) and by older students (sixth and eighth graders) of primary school. The difference between actual and desirable classroom atmosphere according to fourth graders, is very large. Sixth graders find the difference moderate whereas with eighth graders the difference is larger than with sixth graders
