Positive learning environment –imperative in adult education

Abstract

The learning environment is of primary importance in creating a favorable climate for the training process corresponding to the age particularities and interest of the learners. The organization of a positive learning environment in the adult training process requires the configuration of factors specific to adult training, oriented towards satisfying the needs of this category of learners, thus determining their success and personal and professional development. In this article we highlight a three-factor context of the learning environment, the valorization of which generates a positive framework in the training of adults, namely: the profile of the trainer, the interpersonal relationship and the particularities of the training environment. This three-factor context reflects certain values and professional skills of the trainer that condition the conduct of adult training in an effective learning environment designed to support training objectives and the active involvement of learners.
