Development and Use of a Questionnaire for Evaluating K-12 Smart Classroom

摘要

Smart classroom has been considered as an important way to provide easy and engaged learning for the digital learners. Research on the elements, structures, and designs of smart classroom has been carried out a lot, but little attention has been paid to the evaluation of smart classroom. Classroom environment is closely related to students' learning performance. In order to optimize the classroom environment for digital learners, a new framework to evaluate smart classroom was proposed. Based on the framework, a Smart Classroom Evaluation Questionnaire (SCEQ) was developed. A total of 236 students from two schools validated the questionnaire, revealing seven scales, namely, space, showing, surroundings, accessing, enhancing, collaboration, and engagement, with alpha reliabilities ranging between 0.78 and 0.93 (0.94 for the entire questionnaire). Significant differences were discovered on the seven scales between the two schools, the reasons of which were analyzed, and suggestions were provided for improving the classroom environment.
