On Depth and Pace of Learning

Solution Preview

Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started, in this particular task you are being asked to reflect on learning and learners. I suggest using this simple outline:

1. About Learners and Learning - 150 words
2. Pace vs. Depth and trade offs - 100 words
3. Application - 100 words

This outline should yield around 350 words which should cover what you need. The ideas below have been taken from general resources. You can also use the listed resources to further explore the topic. Just let me know via the feedback section if you need further clarification. All the best with your studies.

Sincerely,

Depth/Pace of Learning

While there are principles to learning, not everyone learns in the same way, in the same pace, in the same depth of comprehension. Teachers have long known that while there are fast learners in a class where abilities are mixed, there are average students just as there are stragglers. But while most schools segregate learners according to abilities (so as the 'star' section gets the smartest learners who go through faster, more challenging programs), in certain learning environments (single classes for mixed abilities and/or individual tutor-based learning), this is not possible. So most teachers are challenged to balance pace and speed and cater to individual needs as well as temper expectations according to individual abilities. Gifted and bright learners learn faster than average learners. The gifted asks questions and are curious what with their high IQs and only require 1 or 2 repetitions of ideas to master the ...
