The assessment of the learning environment involves 3 main areas:
  • Physical - assessing the infrastructure and noise level
  • Students - Optimum Group size ofr different age group and composition
  • Social - Method and mode of Instructions and types of activities and tasks.

The understandings of Rudolf Moo's Classroon environment Scale to assess the positive or negative classroom climate for effective learning to take place.
