The role of home classroom climate on motivation in elementary school students based on residential space optimization

Abstract

In recent years, the demand for home-based learning has grown, and the importance of optimizing residential spaces to create a positive learning atmosphere has become increasingly important. This study investigated the effects of home classroom atmosphere on elementary school students' motivation and academic immersion. A questionnaire survey was used to investigate 1,287 elementary school students in Hefei, Nanjing, and Shanghai. The results showed that home classroom atmosphere was significantly related to academic motivation (r=0.383, P<0.01) and home classroom atmosphere was significantly related to academic immersion (r=0.565, P<0.01). Regression analysis showed that home classroom climate and academic immersion explained 38.13% of the variance in academic motivation. Bootstrap analysis confirmed that academic motivation mediated the relationship between home classroom climate and academic immersion (95% confidence interval: 0.066-0.178). The study found that optimizing residential space to create a positive home classroom climate can effectively enhance elementary school students' motivation and academic immersion, providing theoretical support for home education practice.
