The present study is aimed towards identification the indices of desirable teaching and learning environment in regard with the Humanity Courses for universities and the extent to which these indices are attention. In the present study, we have made use of the consecutive mixed-method exploratory research which is of instrument-making type. In the quantitative section, a qualitative case study method and in the quantitative section, a descriptive-survey method was employed. For the qualitative section, we underwent quasi-structured interviews with 20 distinguished and qualified experts and faculty members of universities having their expertise in learning environments s. Also, 360 of the students of universities comprised the quantitative statistical population. This number of participants was selected using multistage cluster sampling method. The research data were collected in a quantitative part through a researcher-made questionnaire extracted from the qualitative section. To examine the reliability of interview questions and questionnaires, we recruited formal and content reliability. And, we used Cronbach's alpha coefficients to evaluate the validity of our questionnaires. We also employed the Structural and interpretative methods in the qualitative section and descriptive and inferential statistics in the quantitative section to wage on analyzing the data. The results indicated that the interviewees outlined nine indices as the salient indices of teaching and learning environments and it can be argued that the recognized indices can be recruited to evaluation and revise the Teaching and Learning environments of courses in different majors of the humanities. The quantitative findings also indicated that the range and degree of attention and corresponding to the indices of teaching and learning environments seem to be less than desirable. Therefore, it necessarily requires far more significant attention.
