Correct answer: C
CONCEPT: Learner characteristics are matched by the domain of behaviour they describe. Academic traits relate to coursework choices and learning goals, social traits to peer interaction, emotional traits to attitudes and feelings toward others, and cognitive traits to mental processing of information.
APPLICATION: Apply that domain test to each description in the two sets.
Characteristic | Matched description | Reason |
|---|---|---|
Academic characteristics | (ii) Learner selects different themes in his/her course when needed. | Selecting themes belongs to course-related academic choice. |
Social characteristics | (iii) Learner works as a team member of the peers. | Teamwork describes interaction with peers. |
Emotional characteristics | (iv) Learner respects individual differences in likes and dislikes. | Respect for differences reflects affective adjustment and attitude. |
Cognitive characteristics | (i) Learner encodes and decodes relevant messages correctly. | Encoding and decoding are mental information-processing acts. |
CONTRAST:
Putting message encoding under emotional traits confuses information processing with affective behaviour.
Putting teamwork under academic traits confuses peer interaction with coursework choice.
Putting respect for likes and dislikes under cognitive traits confuses attitude with mental processing.
Therefore, the matched sequence is a - ii; b - iii; c - iv; d - i.
