Determinants of Learning

2. ASSESSMENT OF THE LEARNER-

is how we check that learning is taking, or has taken, place so that we can decide what needs to happen
next. It looks back, it looks forward. It can play a key role in raising achievement and improving student
outcomes when undertaken effectively and appropriately.

3. ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING NEEDS

learning need is the gap that exists between current practices and desired practices. Learning needs can
be unperceived, perceived, misperceived or emergent.

2. Motivation and behavior of the learner

interest of the of the people.
