Which learner type is described as participating for reasons other than the stated purpose of the learning activity?

• A. Activity oriented learner
• B. Goal oriented learners
• C. Learning oriented learner
• D. Dysphasia

Answer: (A)

Participation for reasons beyond the stated purpose points to an activity oriented learner. They engage because the activity itself is appealing—social interaction, enjoyment, or curiosity—rather than because they want to achieve the learning goal. In contrast, goal oriented learners are driven by hitting specific outcomes, learning oriented learners focus on understanding and mastery, and the term dysphasia refers to a language disorder, not a learner type. So the description best matches an activity oriented learner.
