b) Providing information on performances when learners are/were assessed. Inspiring so that learners will be motivated to learn.

Answer 1

Ensuring students are ready for learning.

The presence or absence of specific attitudes, motivations and dispositions in a learner will:

• enhance or impede their capacity to learn
• determine their willingness to grapple and persevere with, and make sense of discipline-based knowledge and content
• determine their willingness to persist with developing skills and capabilities that are experienced as difficult, elusive or challenging.

These attitudes, motivations and dispositions are the 'be' aspects of being a learner such as resilience, persistence and resourcefulness.

When we capture evidence and data about the 'be' aspects of learners, we are attending to the engine room of learning.
