Different people learn in different ways, this is because we all have different learning styles. There are many factors that influence peoples learning styles and processes. Some of these include; attitude – if someone takes an ‘I don’t care’ attitude to your work then they wont do as well. They need to have a positive attitude and a clear mind to enable them to do their work to the full potential. Motivation – if someone is motivated to do something and they really want to get there and how much they want to get there, they will do it, however, if they feel it will not help them in any way then they will be less motivated resulting in putting it off until the last minute. Health – if someone has health problems that keep coming back, i.e. tonsillitis, then they may find it hard to study. These people need to make sure that they are punctual whenever possible and are organised. Responsibilities – people prioritise what they do on how important it is. If someone had children or is a young carer then their responsibilities are to take care of the person, they may have a job or more important tasks to carry out before completing work. Relationships – if someone has a partner then they may put their work off to see them. People may have children and so may not have time to do assignments if there are problems at home. Learning environment – completing work is hard if you don’t have the right working environment, if it is noisy or you don’t have any desk space to work then you will find it harder to get your work done. Other possibilities for finding it hard to complete work may be that you don’t have a computer or any books, this means you will have to make time to go to the library or round to a friends to complete work, which makes it harder to complete your work.
