This experimental study explores whether, and to what extent, do differences in gender and experience with word processing affect how students perceive their classroom environment in high school writing classes. The study was conducted in thirty-four classrooms and includes data from 951 students. The data revealed significant differences in all dimensions of the classroom
environment and indicated a more positive perception of the classroom environment among students in the experimental group. The findings revealed that within the two different learning environments, there are differences in the ways boys and girls perceive their classroom environment.
