Part 2: Examine Learners’ Development The most important tasks a teacher is to understand how their student learn and their learning preferences. When students do not have the same learning preference it can be difficult and frustrating for the students and teachers. Therefore, is important to differentiate how children learn and how they adsorb the information given to them. An example of this difference style of learning can be that in a class there is a girl name Leanna and a boy name Matthew who are the same age but have different ways of learning. Both students are different in the physical development in the way that Leanna is more mature than Matthew because she makes better choices when it comes to behavior in class. When it comes to cognitive development Leanna has develop her language skills earlier than Matthew, she is more fluent and participates more in class, but Matthew performs better on visual tasks like working with 3D shapes. Linguistically Leanna tends to speak more meticulously and is takes her time answering questions whereas Matthew is a lot quicker to answer. According to Ormrod & Jones “Development doesn’t necessarily proceed at a constant rate. Instead, periods of relatively rapid growth (spurts) may appear between periods of slower grow. (Ormrod & Jones, 2018). Overall, every student has different ways of learning when it comes to their physical, cognitive and linguistic development. In the end it does not matter if you are in the same or different class every student learns different ways.
