A Model Proposal for the Evaluation of Chemistry Education in the Context of Learning Environment evaluates chemistry instruction by examining how elements that form the learning environment relate to course outcomes. Analytic Hierarchy Process is used to determine component weights and calculate the significance of learning environment dimensions. Results show personal interest as the top-weighted component, followed by competition, participation, teacher support, and innovation. Teacher perceptions were used to assess a 9th grade chemistry course learning environment, indicating 61.8% medium learning level.

Asian Journal of Education and Training Vol. 5, No. 3, 488-494, 2019 ISSN(E) 2519-5387 DOI: 10.20448/journal.522.2019.53 .488.494 © 2019 by the authors; licensee Asian Online Journal Publishing Group A Model Proposal for the Evaluation of Chemistry Education in the Context of Learning Environment Abstract The aim of this study was conducted to evaluate chemistry education in the context of the elements that form the learning environment. The weights of learning environment components were determined by Analytic Hierarchy Process. The significance levels of learning environment dimensions were also calculated. According to the findings of the study, the order of the relative weights of personal interest was found as the highest weighted component. Among the components of the learning environment, the second-order weight is competition, participation in the third place, teacher support in the fourth and innovation in the last component. In addition, the global weights of sub-component was calculated. The evaluations study was conducted to evaluate the 9th grade chemistry course learning environment based on the opinion of the teacher who works as the head of chemistry course in a high school in Ankara were indicated that 61.8% of the chemistry course in the research has a medium learning level.

Introduction There are many factors that determine the sustainability and development of human species in the historical process (Gungor, 1998; Özüşen and Yıldız, 2012) . However, when the gains and accumulations in human history are taken into consideration, education which is a product of human and invention (Bircan, 2018) has a primary role. As a matter of fact, when we look at it from the macro perspective, it is seen that education is the main tool used by mankind to maintain its existence and improve the quality of life on our planet. As a living species, human beings have used the method of education to produce and acquire what was given to them by nature. Education has been the basic behavior that distinguishes human beings from other living things. The production, protection, reproduction and use of the informa
