Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to systematically map research on the effect of classroom acoustics and noise on high school students’ listening, learning and well-being, as well as identify knowledge gaps to inform future research.

Design/methodology/approach

This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR protocol. A comprehensive search of four online databases (ERIC, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) was conducted. Peer-reviewed papers were included if they conducted a study on the effect of classroom acoustics or noise on students’ listening, learning or well-being; had a clear definition of the noise level measurement; were conducted with high school students; and had the full text in English available.

Findings

In total, 14 papers met the criteria to be included in the review. The majority of studies assessed the impact of noise on students’ listening, learning or well-being. Overall, the results showed that higher noise levels have a negative effect on students’ listening, learning and well-being. Effects were even more pronounced for students who were non-native speakers or those with special educational needs such as hearing loss. Therefore, it would be beneficial to limit unnecessary noise in the classroom as much as possible through acoustic insulation, acoustic treatment and classroom management strategies.

Originality/value

This paper is the first review paper to synthesize previous research on the effect of classroom acoustics and noise on high school students’ listening, learning and well-being. It provides an analysis of the limitations of existing literature and proposes future research to help fill in these gaps.

教室声学和噪音对高中生听力、学习和幸福感的影响：范围界定审查

目的

本文的目的是系统地绘制关于课堂声学和噪音对高中生听力、学习和幸福感影响的研究，并确定知识差距，为未来的研究提供信息。

设计/方法论/途径

本次范围界定审查遵循 PRISMA-ScR 协议。对四个在线数据库（ERIC、PubMed、Scopus 和 Web of Science）进行了全面检索。如果他们对教室声学或噪音对学生听力、学习或幸福感的影响进行了研究，那么同行评审的论文就会被纳入其中；对噪声级测量有明确的定义；与高中生一起进行；并提供英文全文。

发现

共有14篇论文符合纳入评审标准。大多数研究评估了噪音对学生听力、学习或幸福感的影响。总体而言，结果表明较高的噪音水平会对学生的听力、学习和幸福感产生负面影响。对于非母语学生或有听力损失等特殊教育需求的学生来说，影响更为明显。因此，通过隔声、声学处理和教室管理策略尽可能限制教室中不必要的噪音将是有益的。

原创性/价值

本文是第一篇综合以往关于课堂声学和噪声对高中生听力、学习和幸福感影响的研究的综述论文。它分析了现有文献的局限性，并提出了未来的研究来帮助填补这些空白。
