Abstract
Researchers have found that classroom environment has close relationship to students’ learning performance. When considering technology enriched classroom environment, researches are mainly on the psychological environment and the measurement of the environment. While as technology integrated in classroom, the physical classroom environment should be investigated to facilitate students’ effective and engaged learning. First we carry out a survey on the current technology enriched classroom, after that we sample the Technology Involved Classroom (TIC) and Technology Uninvolved Classroom (TUC) to compare the differences between the two kinds of classroom; then we do the classroom observation and interview with teachers; finally based on the analysis of these data, we propose some solutions for optimizing the classroom environment to facilitate technology enriched learning in China.
