| Abstract: | Suggests two guiding principles as a framework to interpret the research findings of environmental psychology that focus on effective classroom design: effective design promotes attention in the classroom and allows for periodic shifts of learner activities. Examines these principles as they apply to the design of a computer classroom, reviewing components of the physical classroom environment. Elaborates on classroom design techniques that ease the transition between different tasks. (Author/AEF) |
