Journal · pp. 3-13
Abstract

Since the 1980s, the focus on learning environments has changed considerably in educational research. In earlier decades, most efforts were concentrated on optimisation of the classroom system by improving instructional technology and instructional and training systems (Romiszowski, 1988). Optimisation of learning time, the search for effectiveness in terms of group size, instruction techniques and pedagogy, teaching and coaching behaviour, mixed ability grouping, etc. were used to find the best place to learn. © 2008 Sense Publishers.
