The Impact On The Undergraduate Students' Course Involvement Of Classroom Environment

Classroom is the main place for students to study and live in,it's an important microecological environment for students to grow up and has a subtle influence on students' learning and development.It is an important and urgent task to create a good classroom learning environment for students,improve students' classroom experience,and promote students' learning involvement and the quality of classroom teaching.At present,in our country,the research on classroom environment mainly concentrated on the relationship between students' perception of environment and their cognitive and sociality,research combined with the specific subject of the classroom environment research is relatively rare.In the university classroom,there is no related research about how does classroom environment affect students' learning involvement.This study focus on the students' perception of the classroom environment,selects freshman and sophomore undergraduates from School of Physics,N University,to investigate their perception of physics platform classroom learning environment and learning involvement status,in-depth analysis the influence of classroom environment on undergraduate students learning involvement,and combined with the interview survey of the teachers and students,put forward some countermeasures and suggestions to optimize the physics platform classroom learning environment.The survey using the university classroom environment and learning involvement questionnaire compiled by ourselves,the reliability and validity of the questionnaire survey scale reached the basic standard and the investigation is operability.the software SPSS 18.0 is used in this study to analyze the data.After the factor analysis of the"classroom environment"and"learning involvement",their dimensions are identified,in particular,"classroom environment includes teacher's teaching,evaluation methods,interpersonal relationship,curriculum objectives,learning burden,peer competition,independent choice,classroom order,learning involvement"includes cognitive strategy,self-regulation,learning enthusiasm,class participation and faculty-student interaction.On the basis of the dimensions,the following three questions are studied:1.According to the results of the descriptive statistics,to analysis the undergraduate students' perception of physical classroom environment and the current condition of learning involvement.2.Through the difference analysis,to analyze whether there is a significant difference between the students' perception of the physical classroom environment and their learning involvement because of the personal background factors such as:gender,grade and student cadre experience.3.Using regression analysis,regarded classroom environment as independent variables,the students' background variables as control variables,students learning involvement as dependent variables,to analysis the influence of classroom environment on undergraduate learning involvement.Through the analysis of data and interviews,the following characteristics are found:1.Through empirical investigation found that undergraduate's perception of physics platform classroom learning environment is in good condition,but there are some differences between different dimensions.Among them,the scores of evaluation methods,learning burden and peer competition are relatively low,not been reached 3.5,the scores of other dimensions are between 3.50 to 3.99.2.Personal factors has a certain influence on the undergraduates' perception of physics classroom environment,the girls' perception of the classroom environment are slightly better than boys;The freshman students' perception of classroom environment were better than the sophomore students;Students who have served as student leader,participated in top-notch program,academic competition or innovation projects have perceived better classroom environment than other students.3.The level of undergraduate courses learning involvement is at the medium level,there are 69.66%of the students belong to the medium group,The scores of the learning enthusiasm and cognitive strategy are higher than 3.5,but the score of faculty and students interaction is relatively low,only 2.49 points.4.Personal factors has a certain influence on the undergraduates' courses learning involvement.Boys' score of faculty-student interaction is significantly higher than those of girls;freshmans' scores of each dimension were significantly higher than those of sophomores;The involvement level of those who have served as student leader,participated in top-notch program,academic competition or innovation projects is higher than other students.5.The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the physical classroom environment have a significant impact on undergraduate learning involvement.Specifically,the factor of teachers'teaching have a significant impact on students'learning involvement,the factor of peer competition have no impact on each dimension of learning involvement.The factor of learning burden has significant positive impact on faculty-student interaction and has negative impact on other dimensions of learning involvement.evaluation methods,curriculum objectives and independent choice have significant positive effect on students'cognitive strategy and self-regulation,evaluation methods and independent choice have no effect on class participation,interpersonal relationship and independent choice have the most impact on faculty-student interaction.According to the results and findings of the survey,some countermeasures and advices can be made to optimize the classroom environment based on the perception of students.For example,Constructing the harmonious relationship between teachers and students,broaden the channels for the interaction between teacher and students;setting clear curriculum objectives,stimulate students' learning motivation;using a variety of evaluation methods,give students timely and effective feedback;arranging the curriculum schedule reasonablely,control difficulty of the content appropriately;give students learning autonomy,respect students' choice and personality;Innovating the mode of classroom teaching,improve teachers' teaching level;Striving to improve the university classroom environment,lets the student really involved in the learning activities.
