The study of learning environment is an important part of learning analysis.With the deepening of informatization in the education field,the development of learning resources has widened the scope of the learning environment,and a diverse and open learning environment has gradually formed.The changes in the learning environment field have had a profound impact on learning places and learning methods.The role of the learning environment in the learning process has become more and more significant.At the same time,it has brought all-round opportunities and challenges to learning.It is of far-reaching practical significance to understand students' satisfaction with the learning environment,analyze the relationship between learning environment and learning,and explore the influence of learning environment on learning.This study used “study environment satisfaction”as an observational variable to examine students' perception of the learning environment.We hoped to show the relationship between the learning environment and learners through the satisfaction of the pupils with the learning environment.Then we established a relationship between learning environment and learning itself through "learning engagement" and explored the specific impact of environmental satisfaction on student learning engagement.In the end,This study attempted to establish a causal relationship between learning environment satisfaction and learning engagement,so as to try to provide methods for improving the quality of learning.Based on the above research objectives,this study sorted out the analysis framework of learning environment satisfaction and the learning engagement,and divided the satisfaction of learning environment into four aspects: satisfaction with physical environment,satisfaction with digital environment,satisfaction with institutional environment and satisfaction with spiritual environment.Divided learning engagement into behavioral engagement,cognitive engagement,and emotional engagement.We made assumptions about the relationship between the two variable: there is a positive correlation between student satisfaction with the learning environment and their learning engagement.Students' satisfaction with the learning environment affect their learning engagement.In order to test the hypothesis of the study,a questionnaire was designed for this study.A total of 1000 copies were sent out to students in grades 4,5 and 6 of 5 primary schools in 5districts of Chongqing,of which 888 were valid.Through the statistical analysis of the objective questions in the questionnaire,we made a basic descriptive analysis on the satisfaction of learning environment,and proved that the satisfaction of learning environment has a significant impact on learning engagement as a whole,and the satisfaction of mental environment has the greatest impact on learning engagement.In order to clarify pupils' perception of learning environment,we used Nvivo qualitative analysis software to analyze the types of learning environment students prefer and the advantages and disadvantages of the current learning environment.In the end,the study came to the following conclusion.The learning environment satisfaction is holistic,that is,the four types of environment are closely related.Satisfaction of learning environment can affect learning investment,and the impact of satisfaction of spiritual environment on learning engagement is particularly significant.At present,there are still many problems that need to be improved in the learning environment of primary schools,which can improve students' satisfaction in the learning environment.Schools can improve students' engagement in learning by solving problems in the learning environment.Based on the above theoretical discussion and empirical analysis,this study sorted out the main problems of the current learning environment from four aspects: physical environment,digital environment,institutional environment,and spiritual environment,and provided corresponding solutions based on all research results.We believed that the learning environment is different from school to school,so the way to improve the learning environment should propose school strategies.Proposals should follow the integrity of all dimensions of the learning environment and integrate all aspects of the learning environment.It is also necessary to refer to the subjective orientation of the learning environment and take the learning environment that students like as important basis information.And the construction of learning environment should be value-oriented,and try to change the overall style and spiritual characteristics of the school.In the end,this research formed a "question-prone-countermeasure" research structure in the suggestion part,that is,starting from the problem,referring to the students' environmental tendency,and then putting forward corresponding countermeasures.Then,this study proposed that the improvement of the learning environment should be value-oriented with "focus","ecology","efficient","multiple",and "positive".Furthermore,schools can improve learning environment from the following five aspects: implementing student classroom behavior standards;planning school natural landscapes;upgrading school infrastructure and equipment;creatively developing curriculum resources;clarify the atmosphere formed by teaching and learning in schools.
