Abstract
This report arises out of considerations to “merge” different institutions of higher education, and from preliminary work on techniques for objective assessment of “learning environments”. Analyses and comparison of results obtained from an administration of the College and University Environment Scales to College of Advanced Education and University samples are presented and discussed in terms of traditional roles and expectations of those institutions. The evidence that emerges points to a genuine difference in the learning environments of the two types of institutions. For example, second year C.A.E. teacher trainees scored significantly higher than their university counterparts on Practicality and Community factors. On the other hand University trainees scored significantly higher on the Awareness and Scholarship dimensions.Keywords
