摘要:

Acoustical measurements of speech transmission index, reverberation time, early reverberation time, early‐to‐late energy ratios, loudness (or relative strength), articulation index, background noise levels, and signal‐to‐noise ratios were made in a number of elementary school classrooms in one school district to see how many rooms actually had acceptable acoustical conditions. The source and receiver locations for the acoustical measurements were determined through the participatory action research (PAR) described in Classroom Acoustics I. Measurements were made using a TEF analyzer with custom software to compute additional acoustical measurements. Both omni‐directional and directional loudspeakers were used for the source signals. The acoustical measurements were conducted in a variety of source receiver conditions as observed in the PAR studies in the classrooms. General observations are related regarding the relationship between the measurements and the PAR. For example, the STI was always greater than 0.75 for the conditions under which the teachers actually taught. Speaker‐to‐listener distances of 4 m or less were observed for many classroom activities. Likewise the teachers employed many creative ways to control the behavior of the students to reduce background noise levels while they actually spoke.
