Task 1
a) Review of impact
Impact of personal, social and cultural factors on learning
There are several factors that affect learning of an individual and in these factors personal factors
include age, gender, confidence, peer pressure, cultural and religious attitude, educational
backgrounds, financial situation, development of language, and multilingualism.
Age has very important impact on learning because it is associated with reduction in cognitive
abilities of individual and this is why learning at young age is easier (Abbas and et.al., 2019).
Regarding impact of gender it has very considerable impact in high school education of girls and
boys. In this boys are likely to choose science and mathematics subject for higher studies
whereas girls tend to study high in assets and literacy irrespective of capabilities of girls.
Confidence is a factor that affect how capable a student is when they are expected to show their
known and demonstrate their skills. In audition to this students with high confidence are able to
understand problems easily and they are more critical to understanding problem. Cultural and
religious attitude of individuals have strong impact on their learning. In this, learning of
Individuals gets affected in several ways one of them is importance of learning in their life and
subject and area of expertise in which they learn.

Social and cultural barriers also have significant impact on learning of individuals. Peer pressure
is also a social factor that has very important impact on learning. Individual is when is teased for
having good grades and performing well in academics in that situation they are likely to reduce
their efforts in learning. Similarly, when students are teased for more performing well in
education from peers, in such situation they are likely to increase their efforts in learning.
Emphasis and attention provided towards learning by a certain society in which learners are
living also has important effect on their learning (Schunk and DiBenedetto, 2020). There are
certain societies in which individuals start their employment at very early age because of poverty
and this affect their learning. Learners or students when do not have positive attitude towards
learning and education they are likely to challenges for teacher in effectively educating children.
Impact of different cognitive, physical and sensory abilities on learning
There are different cognitive, physical and sensory abilities and these abilities of children
and individual have very important effect on their learning ability. Certain factors are-
Nature Vs nurture- On the basis of both nature and nurture children differentiate and
considering this is inclusive practice is very important. Nature is concerned with inherited factors
and capabilities of children and nurture is concerned with effect of family, peer, school and other
elements associated with children when they are raised (Farina and et.al., 2019). On the basis of
these factors and elements all children are different from each other and their capabilities for
learning are different and make strong impact on learning of children.
Reading ability- This is a cognitive ability and this has its impact on learning because those who
read more and have better learning and they are also tend to perform better in test compared to
those who read less. Reading ability of individuals is also linked with higher achievement in
academic, vocabulary, and mathematics.
Analytical skills- Analytical skills are those skills that allow individuals to find solution to a
problem and make informed decisions. Individuals with strong analytical skills are likely to
perform better in mathematical subjects and also learn better where they are require to use
analytical skills for learning.
Aptitude- Aptitude is concerned with skill of individual and it has very important effect of
learning because individual who has aptitude is certain skill or subject they are likely to learn
better in that subject. Such as learner with language aptitude is likely to learn better those
subjects that are related to language.
