Which learner type seeks knowledge for the purpose of learning something new?

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

Answer: (A)

Curiosity and intrinsic motivation drive the learner who seeks knowledge simply for the sake of learning. This learner is drawn to new ideas, asks questions, and explores topics beyond what’s required because discovering how things work is rewarding in itself. That’s the essence of a learning oriented learner. In contrast, goal oriented learners are mainly motivated by achieving a specific outcome, like a grade or credential. Activity oriented learners care about the experience of the task or activity itself, not necessarily about acquiring new knowledge. Dyslexia is a learning difference, not a way of approaching learning. The description fits best with the learning oriented learner.
