Getting on with the training

Abstract

Over the past ten years there has grown up a new way of thinking about management. We talk about management styles. While recognising that there are many varied styles we talk about two in particular: the authoritarian style and the participative style. To reduce our main consideration to only two styles is a bold over‐simplification. But it is useful: it enables us, for instance, to show how different styles produce different motivational climates. This growing concern with differing management styles is one of several factors which are having a big influence on the mechanics of instruction and learning. But it is only one factor. What are the other factors which are changing our understanding of the instructional and learning process?
