Abstract
Relevant teaching and learning activities need to be conducted in various learning environments, with the classroom being the principal place for teaching most subjects. So, the classroom learning environment has an important influence on the teaching–learning process. Generally speaking, classroom environment refers to various kinds of physical, social and psychological factors that influence teaching activities (Fraser, 1998).
