Identify the characteristics of a learner that help in effective teaching.

The mental ability, prior experiences, interest and societal perspective of the learner aid effective teaching, so statements 2, 3, 4 and 6 are the answer.

A learner's mental ability level sets the pace and depth that instruction can reach.

Previous experiences give the anchors to which new learning is linked, as constructivism stresses.

The learner's interest drives attention and motivation, central to effective learning.

The societal perspective of the learner shapes relevance and meaning of what is taught.

Respect for the teacher (statement 1) and interpersonal relations (statement 5) are conduct and climate factors, not learner characteristics that drive learning.
