Curious learners perform better because they focus better. Neuroscience has established strong correlation between focus and learner success. Curiosity increases engagement, but is intellectually and emotionally risky. How do we help each and every one of our students?
Learner Tools helps learners develop the social, cognitive, and emotional skills needed to meaningfully participate in the creative process. This creative process forms this modern inquiry-based learning method. The first step is understanding what neuroscience has discovered about learning and risk.
Increase Performance and Engagement
50ten40 Learner Tools provides a way to help students understand risk. We provide the Learning Orientation Questionnaire (LOQ) which helps to identify individual learner risk profiles and and suggests practical solutions for improvement. The LOQ is a 25-item online survey that identifies an individual’s orientation to learn by looking at the dominant psychological factors that influence intentional learning and performance.
These factors consider the level of:
- Emotional investment in learning and performance
- Strategic self-direction
- Independence or autonomy
These three interrelated factors are successful learning attributes and describe how intentional learners generally want or intend to approach learning.
The LOQ is a statistically valid and reliable instrument that measures how learners generally and intentionally approach learning (e.g., classroom or online learning ability) and performance. Learning orientations are dispositions to approach, manage, and achieve learning. More at https://learningorientations.com
