in which such classrooms are set up. In terms of the vocational classroom, it would seem that the open entry/open exit self-paced model would be ideal. Vocational classrooms
differ from academic classrooms in many ways. In some fashion, goals are different and vocational education usually has a specific task as opposed to one of general education or a
vague goal where individual students vary in terms of their ultimate ends. With vocational learning, there is an inherent hands on feeling that is conducive to a more relaxed environment
that can be created with the utilization of the Open entry/open exit model. In exploring cognitive views of learning as it is applicable to vocational learning, some authors have
looked at specific populations. For example, Chroniste & McWhirter (2003) have evaluated SCCT which actually provides a good framework in the comprehension of the effects of domestic violence for
battered women and their career-related experiences. SCCT is an application created by Albert Bandura and comes from his social cognitive theory (2003). Banduras (1977) Social Learning Theory stresses the importance
