A fundamental educational principle is that there should be an alignment between instruments of learning and instruments of assessment [ 16].
The instrument of learning motivation, developed by Prenzel et al. (1996) has been frequently used and adapted in the field of VET (Beck 2000; Knöll et al. 2007; Nickolaus and Ziegler 2005; Prenzel and Drechsel 1996; Schumann 2010; Seidel et al. 2003; Seifried 2005; Winther 2006; ).
The answer is surely not to discourage those who are excited by the prospect of learning instruments like drums and the electric guitar.
The present study expands the array of learning instruments that have been widely used over the past several decades by developing a walkthrough observation instrument that examines the five elements of flourishing classroom learning environments.
The present study expands the array of learning environment instruments by developing a walkthrough observation instrument that examines the five elements of flourishing classroom learning environments: (a) positive emotion, (b) engagement, (c) meaning, (d) positive relationships, and (e) accomplishment.

In this study we reviewed 22 studies on developing instruments that measure teachers', students' and adult students' perceptions of learning environments enhanced by a certain type of technology.
