Question

Mrs. Fulmor is frustrated with the students in her class who are passive learners. They seem to be motivated to learn only if she provides positive feedback or if she promises them an external reward. Mrs. Fulmor is having trouble with the students who are demonstrating which learning style:_______.

Answer 1

Answer:

Surface Learning Style

Explanation:

Surface learning involves basically 'scraping the surface' of the subject that is being studied, without the need to carry out any deep processing or explanation of that particular subject. Students who like to adopt such a surface approach are more prone to work in line with the following general pattern:

• Focusing wholly on assessment requirements.
• Accepting information knowledge and ideas in a passive way.
• Assimilating facts and procedures in a routine manner.
• Paying less attention to the guiding principles or patterns.
• Weakness in reflecting on the underlying purpose or strategy.
