Correct answer: D
CONCEPT
Factors influencing learning can be grouped by their locus: the learner, the teacher, or the content and learning experience. Learner factors include readiness and capacity; teacher factors include subject expertise; content factors include the organization and nature of the material or experience.
APPLICATION
Statement | Locus | Reason |
|---|---|---|
A | Learner | Readiness and will power describe the learner’s preparedness and volition. |
B | Content | Organization describes how material and learning experiences are structured. |
C | Learner | Basic potential describes the learner’s underlying capacity. |
D | Content | Nature describes characteristics of the material or learning experience. |
E | Teacher | Mastery over the subject matter describes the teacher’s command of what is taught. |
CONTRAST
The combination A, B and D includes two content-locus factors: organization and nature of the learning material or experiences.
The combination A, D and E includes the nature of the learning material or experience, a content-locus factor.
The combination C and D includes the nature of the learning material or experience, and it leaves out two non-content factors.
The combination A, C and E contains learner preparedness, learner capacity, and teacher subject expertise—the three factors whose locus is not the content.
CROSS-CHECK
Grouping all five statements gives learner locus = {A, C}, teacher locus = {E}, and content locus = {B, D}. Therefore, the factors not related to content are A, C and E only.
