Published research in Behavioural Sciences has indicated that there are some business and work environments which are more effective for
the attainment of managerial objectives than others.
In this study these research findings have been applied to learning
activities of mature vocational students in TAFE in Canberra and to
their teachers.
Learning processes, learning theories and teaching are discussed.
Teacher-student relationships and their impact on learning by
creating sound learning environments are examined and a model of
sound learning environment is created. This model is tested by
investigation with final year certificate students.
The impact of the model on teacher selection and teacher education
is included in the discussion of results.
The principal conclusion which can be drawn from the Study is that
the sort of environment, which has been shown to be most effective
in achievement of managerial objectives is also likely to be the
most effective in achieving educational objectives for adult
vocational students.
