Autocratic Climate Teacher directs, decides what activities to be done, limited interaction & communication between teacher & students, little chance of participation. The teacher is authoritarian or teacher-centered. Democratic Climate There is high regard for participation and cooperative work. Teacher becomes the facilitator and guides learners in the accomplishment of a set of objectives. There is wider communication between the teacher & the learners. Teaching is permissive, integrative & learner-oriented. Copyright ©, otb 2008

Laissez Faire Climate There is little emphasis in group participation. The learner acts on his own. There is no enough room for interaction. There is no sense of direction. 4. Emotional Climate This refers to the mental health & emotional adjustments of learners. Learners have varied personalities, needs & interests. The learner should feel accepted, secure in the group. Rejection will alienate him & reduces self-esteem. The feeling of being alienated reduces chance to make learning more effective & wholesome experience. Copyright ©, otb 2008

THE HOME It does not provide formal instruction but it involves acquisition of behavioral patterns, acceptance of standard norms, and development of necessary traits. It is where a child gets instruction on the specific ways of doing things. THE COMMUNITY It allows an environment that allows opportunities for interaction among members thus allow them to participate community activities. The community provides the interaction while the participation provides the meaning of the experience. Copyright ©, otb 2008
