Which of the learner characteristics will influence his or her perspective in a course of study?

1.The learner's commitment

2.The parents' interest in the learner

3.The prior knowledge of the learner

4.The skill of the learner in the concerned area

5.The family size of the learner

6.The socio-economic background of the family to which the learner belongs

A1, 3 and 4 ✓ Correct

B1, 2 and 3

C3, 4 and 5

D4, 5 and 6

Correct answer: (A) 1, 3 and 4

Explanation

The learner's own commitment, prior knowledge and skill in the area shape their perspective in a course of study, so statements 1, 3 and 4 are the answer.

Commitment sets the motivation and persistence the learner brings to the course.

Prior knowledge provides the framework through which new content is interpreted.

Skill in the concerned area determines the depth at which the learner can engage.

Parents' interest and family size are external or background factors, not the learner's own defining traits here.

Socio-economic background influences opportunity broadly but is not the learner's personal cognitive characteristic in this framing.
