In this study that involves 239 technical students in Brunei Darussalam, a Classroom Environment Survey and an Attitude towards Mathematics Survey was developed and administered. The classroom environment survey consists of 56 items with 8 scales, each scale being assessed by 7 items, while the attitude survey consists of 20 items with 5 items assessing 4 different scales. The quantitative data from this survey and the qualitative data from interviews of teachers and students were analysed and the outcomes of the analyses were used in determining the actual environment and students' preferences.
