Introduction: Class culture, based on its implicit and explicit beliefs and values, can, on the one hand, promote free, motivational and confidential environment for learning in learners, and on the other hand, it may create a cold, negative, and irrational environment. Thus the purpose of this research was to evaluate class culture from the viewpoint of students in Kashan University of Medical sciences.
Method: This is a descriptive survey research. The statistical population consisted of 2148 students in Kashan University of Medical Sciences in academic years 2016-17 that 200 ones through stratified randomized sampling chosen as sample. Data gathering tool was class culture standard questionnaire with 8 items response close in term of Likert five scale. Questionnaire construction validity confirmed through factor analysis. Questionnaire reliability was estimated by Cronbach Alpha coefficient equal to 0.88. Data analyzed by descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean & standard deviation) and inferential level (one sample t-test, independent t-test, one way Anova & structural equation modeling) through SPSS .
Result: Findings showed class culture score (34.53±2.64) was upper than 30 score and the majority of students considered the class culture in university as open. Male students with score of 35.17±2.97 reported more open class culture than female students with a score of 33.91±2.1, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). But there was no significant difference between students' viewpoints on the status of classroom culture in terms of college and degree of academic (p<0.05).
Conclusion: based on results, the class culture in Kashan University of Medical Sciences is open. This is especially important in medical science universities whose graduates at different levels and courses should have a positive balanced humanistic relationship with their peers, in order to be more confident in the quality of the duties and responsibilities involved.
