Correct Answer - Option 4 : Arguable level of competency and motivation
Learning is the acquisition of new behaviour or the strengthening or weakening of old behaviour as a result of experience. It represents progressive changes in behaviour. It also involves the acquisition of knowledge, habits, and attitude.
Factors Affect Learning:
The main factors affecting learning are Motivation of the learner, Maturation of the learner, Teaching strategies, and Physical and emotional health of the learner.
-
The Interest of the Student - The factor of interest is very closely related in nature to that of symbolic drive and reward. A favourable mental attitude facilitates learning.
-
Teaching Strategies - The strategies or steps taken by the teacher to make the class environment interactive and that also engrave interest among students regarding the topic.
-
Physical and Emotional Health of the Learner: Concentration needs emotional and mental poise and the absence of mental conflict or complexity. Some children find it difficult to prepare for the examinations, simply because of fear of the examination and anxiety neurosis.
- Giving motivation to the learner can increase their interest in learning.
-
Maturation of the learner affects learning because maturation is related to the structure and potential capacity. Maturation is the process by which we change, grow, and develop throughout life.
Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that for effective and sustainable learning a learner should have an arguable level of competency and motivation.
