Introduction. At present there is enough evidence to establish that affective, attitudinal and physical variables influence learning. Given this, there is interest now in studying the educational climate and move towards the development of proposals for improvement. In this context, a descriptive study on educational climate was developed through the application of the Spanish version of the Dundee Ready Educational Enviromenment (DREEM) in Kinesiology students of the first three years, Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción, Chile. Subjects and methods. A sample equivalent to 142 students was constructed. Evolving statistical analysis of data supported by the SPSS 19 program that show high internal consistency, measured by Cronbach’s alpha (0.91). Results and conclusions. The results show a positive appreciation of Educational Climate, emphasizing the perception of teachers as a key factor of this. It was also established that there is no significant relationship between educational climate and sex or appropriateness of the student. Finally, we observed a decrease in the perception of educational climate as students advance in their career, being considered in this relevant interventions needed in the area of professional training.
