ABSTRACT
A positive teaching climate has an important impact on pupils’ attitude to learning subjects. The
object of our research was to identify the factors affecting the climate of science subjects teaching.
The research sample consisted of 454 primary and secondary school pupils. A questionnaire with
26 items was used as a research tool. Obtained data were subjected to factor analysis with loading
factor of 0.45. Based on our research, four factors with a statistically significant impact on the
climate of natural science subjects teaching was identified. At the same time, it was found that
neither sex nor age of pupils has a statistically significant effect on the climate perception of
natural science subjects teaching.
