INTRODUCTION

Inclusive practices refers to a teacher’s responsibility to promote a welcoming and safe
environment in the classroom where the differences between individuals are valued, evident and
embraced. It refers to implementing practices where all the students are equal irrespective of
their academic and cognitive level will have an opportunity to pursue general school curriculum
and classroom. In inclusive practices all the students are equal members of the school
irrespective of their disabilities and the school makes sure that the students have wide range of
learning opportunities. The teachers make specific goal and objectives for each and every student
according to their level of education as well as knowledge.
MAIN BODY
a) Impact of personal, social and cultural factors on leaning
Age: It is a personal factor that has a major impact on the learning of the individual. As in
younger age people tend to have sharp memory and in older age people tend to have weaker
memory (Delimata, N., 2019.). This is the reason why young people can learn easily and older
people are likely to forgot things.
Gender: It is also an important factor as studies have shown that girls generally have more
concentration as compared to boys. Also girls are generally better in language and humanities
and boys are generally better in technical subjects.
Peer pressure: It can be affected by the company that the learner have. If the company of the
learner is good then they will be able to overcome the peer pressure but if the company is bad
then they can indulge the individual in drugs or other supplements which can be very bad for the
individual.
Educational background: Background of an individual can have a major impact on the learning
of an individual in positive as well as negative terms (Kecskemeti, M., 2020.). If the educational
background is good then the learner will learn things more faster as compared to those who have
no educational background.
Impact of cognitive, sensory and physical abilities on the learner
Reading abilities: People with reading abilities are likely to learn things more easily as compared
to those with no reading abilities. It is important to develop reading abilities in the individual in
order to make sure that they understand things better which will hep them in learning.
