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.
