Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a framework in order to evaluate the quality of trainer-trainee relationship. As well as that the effects of demographic characteristics of students on the level and quality of this relationship were investigated. The present study had a fundamental nature with respect to its audience. It was an exploratory-descriptive work with respect to purpose and a survey one based on its methodology. After review of relevant literature and study of Islamic texts, questionnaires were distributed between 300 associate students.Exploratory factor analysis revealed four key factors including trainer's teaching skills, ethical behaviour, trainee's classroom behaviour, trainee's behaviour with respect to trainer” and divine purpose of training. In addition, confirmatory factor analysis showed the validity of the research instrument. The results of ANOVA analysis revealed that there is a positive relationship among age, gender and employment status and the quality of trainer-trainee relationship, but there is no relationship between this variable and field of study
