Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

CONCEPT

Learner-related factors are conditions inside the learner that affect how well teaching is received and converted into learning.

In teaching effectiveness, these include prior task competence, readiness, motivation, and capacity to engage with the learning task. Teacher knowledge, teaching methods, and classroom composition are separate teacher, instructional, or environment factors.

APPLICATION

  • Task-relevant competencies of learners belong to the learner because it describes existing knowledge and skills for the task.

  • Content mastery of the teacher belongs to the teacher because it describes command over the subject matter.

  • Choice of teaching methods belongs to instruction because it is the method selected to deliver the content.

  • Composition of the classroom belongs to the class environment or group context, not to an individual learner condition.

  • Readiness level of student belongs to the learner because it describes preparedness to learn.

CONTRAST

  • b) and c) only groups teacher mastery with instructional method choice, so it stays outside learner-side factors.

  • d) and e) only mixes classroom composition with student readiness, so the pair is partly environmental.

  • b) and e) only mixes teacher content mastery with student readiness, so the pair is partly teacher-related.

RESULT

The learner-side factors are task-relevant competencies of learners and readiness level of student; therefore the answer value is a) and e) only.
