Task 1
Review the impact of personal, social and cultural factors on learning
Learning is a permanent change within knowledge and behaviour of an individual. It is essential
to manage the duration of change and structure of knowledge in behaviour of learner. Several
factors are there that influence the learning. Personal, Social and cultural factors that affect
learning are mentioned below –
Personal – These factors include age, gender and development of language. Learning is affected
by these factors. In context of young people, it is seen that they are having good grasping power.
On the other hand, old people do not have sharp memory(Altemueller 2017)
. That is why it is important to focus upon learning process. Women have strength in case of
humanities and language and on the other hand, men have more interest in technical knowledge.
In context of present university, learning practise is effectively managed by the tutor.
Social – The social factor which affect learning process is peer pressure. There are few students
in class who skip their class and indulge into drugs. There are few learners who are involved into
drugs and this is essential for teacher to manage the working in order to have
Cultural – This affects how learners are linking up with the cultural factors and environment. In a
university, there are different people coming from various backgrounds. For a tutor, it is
responsibility to provide different meanings to the similar lesson. This helps in creating a good
and positive culture. There are some learners who are not permitted for eating non vegetarian
food. In present university, it is concluded that permitting to follow culture is important. People
are not allowed to eat meat during the lectures.
Review the impact of different cognitive, physical and sensory abilities on learning
According to the cognitive theory, COGNITIVE- It affects a person's learning ability, those who
grasp very little in a classroom setting are more likely to have behavioural and attitudinal
problems. For a person who has cognitive ability adapts behaviours(Chakraborty 2020) . For the
learner to understand things properly the tutor needs to provide real world situations to develop
the learner's skills. These skills include concentration, perception, memory and logical thinking.
The perception in an individual’s mind reflects his/her past experiences. Perception is the
interpretation of what an individual sense.

PHYSICAL- Issues raised in physical ability might be the result of injury or disease. It becomes
really hard for an individual to understand things easily due to the inability to make any
progress , very low self esteem, and very little will power to deal with the challenges in the
environment. It is very important for the tutor to make the learning environment suitable for the
learner.
SENSORY- Every individual requires the basic needs which includes sensory processing. But
those who face sensory difficulties and therefore the tutor needs to provide assistance for learners
facing such difficulties(Edwards, 2019) . For a learner facing visual difficulties should be
provided verbal instructions for better understanding
Summaries policy and regulatory frameworks relating to inclusive practice
There are various laws within education sector which are used for implementing smooth
functioning of operations. In context of the present university, it is concluded that there are some
regulations provided by government that have to be followed.
As per the law, it is unlawful for the education institution that they must not appreciate
discrimination. There must be no discrimination within university on the basis of disability, sex,
gender, access to services, etc. As per the prohibitions of 2010, it is analysed that legal
prohibitions of discrimination are found for managing the implementation of teaching rules.
TASK 2
Explain how policy and regulatory frameworks influence organisational policies relating to
inclusive practice
There are national as well as regulatory frameworks which are main aspects affecting
organisational policies. It is important for the university for observing guidelines and practices
related to inclusivity. There are standards set for inclusivity in university and some laws are
maintained in order to manage the functioning smoothly(Epstein 2020. There must be no
discrimination on the basis of gender, sex, religion at the university premises. There are
regulatory and policy frameworks which are serving as main guideline for conducting different
individual inclusivity. Regulatory frameworks serves as one of the main principles for the
