The focus is on both the classroom and out-classroom physical components of school environment in terms of their importance and students' satisfaction. The students' perceptions of school physical environment in different types of schools are also considered in this study. The instrument of the study, a three-part questionnaire, was administered to 498 form four students selected randomly from four types of schools in Seremban. The data analysis involved the percentage counts and the employment of Wilcoxon Z. The results reveal that the perceived importance of selected components of school physical environment is higher than the level of satisfaction. Statistically significant differences exist between the degree of importance and the degree of satisfaction. The participants' perceived behaviour is also affected by the conditions of the school physical environment. The students' perceptions of school physical environment vary according to types of schools. However, the difference is trivial.}, url = {http://eprints.iab.edu.my/v2/809/}, keywords = {STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF SCHOOL PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT IN SELECTED SCHOOLS OF SEREMBAN} }
