A Question
To what extent will your students see you as a teacher who supports their autonomy, that is, as an autonomy-supportive teacher? The 8 questions below are from the Learning Climate Questionnaire, a questionnaire designed to assess students' perceptions of their teacher as one who is relatively autonomy supportive (high scores) or one who is relatively controlling (low scores). For each item, imagine that your students are the ones responding to the questions as they rate you and your style.
