Lit Review The author examines the earlier experiential studies on
personality traits, transactional distance plus the prognostic of
transactional distance. The subject is useful particularly when
discussing research questions and to demarcate the research
scope. The constructivist themes with a emphasis on interaction
and psychological constructs are common to Active learning
theories and Transactional Distance Theory.
Problem

The author understands the narrow comprehension of the
influence of personality traits, transactional distance and
predictive of transactional distance. It was not understood earlier
if personality traits correlate with a learner’s apparent
transactional distance and to what degree. Thus, the awareness’
helps top narrow down the research scope and help address the
issue of how to align the diverse learning environments for
individuals with different personality and match the learner with
the suitable learning environments to maximize learning.
