Abstract
This paper discusses the development and validation of the smart classroom scale (SCS). The SCS is derived from existing technology integration learning environment instruments, including TROFLEI, TICI and CCEI. To accurately describe the smart classroom, the scales of flexibility use of smart classroom, learning data, and learning experience are added to SCS. More than three hundred 11 to 15 years old learners were invited to validate the instrument. Result of the study indicated that there are ten scales of the SCS: Spatial design, Flexibility use of smart classroom, Technology usage, Learning data, Differentiation, Investigation, Cooperation, Learners cohesiveness, Equity, and Learning experience. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability of the SCS instrument is 0.902. This shows that SCS is a parsimonious instrument for assessing the technology-rich smart classroom.
